I forget where the donations go… Can you refresh my memory?

Recurring donations have dropped, totally understandable in the current economic climate. Some very generous early one off donations mean I’m not paying out of pocket. But that buffer is shrinking month by month.
Previously recurring monthly donations covered ~50% of the monthly costs, this is down to ~30%. Not an issue, some early one off donations mean the kitty is still enough to cover the server costs until Feb/March.
I’m ok to cover the gap between recurring donations and monthly costs. If a time comes when that isn’t the case, I’ll be sure to let everyone know. For now, don’t stress 🙂

Front page side bar at the bottom has a link to my Ko-fi donation page, but I know you know that 🙂
If you mean “where do the funds go?” Funds are used to cover various costs associated with running aussie.zone, such as:
virtual private server
server backups
object storage for images

It doesn’t show up anywhere when you use an app, so I was very cleverly and subtly providing an opportunity to link it.
Don’t worry everyone, I’ll do it:
