@cblgh @nomand Ah, that's good to know!

@nomand Nice! I did the same not too far back :D

I'm trying a new thing to reduce my stress: tracking fewer things.

Since 2015, I went pretty nuts tracking my location, weight, food, program usage, and it's all a little too much to keep track of. Hopefully by eliminating that requirement, I can have more time to just live!

@rek with my sweet tooth, I'd probably be eating way more of those than I'd like to admit if given the chance >w>

@rez Welcome!! :D

@james Meetups always feel pretty impersonal, though they can be fun at times. I tend to attend regular events to hang out with friends during the week and I find that way more fun :3

@neauoire @rosano Glad this got resolved!

@estoricru I'll definitely let you know once I find some tips!

Update: I rush-ordered some clothes to wear in place of my wet ones and they have now arrived. Now I just need a warm beverage to feel a little less frigid 🍵

@thomasorus Aw, that's much appreciated <3

@neauoire I absolutely do

I'm cold, wet, and miserable this morning. It's making me think about how I got here and what I can do to make myself feel better overall.

I think I should reduce the things that make me stressed out like this. Unsure what, but doing less overall sounds like a good place to start.

@theneko looks so great so far :D

@vega Same to you! Being more present and doing more things is an admirable thing to shoot towards, that's something I'd like to do as well :3

@floatvoid You're lovely for starting these, thank you <3

@vega Actually the community isn't the main culprit for costs here! Over the past year our local instance has only 5Gb worth of assets on S3. It was costing a ton the month before because we had 181Gb of assets coming in from the rest of the fediverse. So, y'all can continue as normal! I just gotta make sure to remove old remote assets every once in a while >w>

However, the instance has been around for a full year!!! Super psyched about that :D

I've also gotten the instance costs way down since I deleted the old external assets that had been around for ages. To keep costs down, I'll continue to do that each month.

Thanks a bunch to all the donors, and to all of you! I have a few things I need to work on, like opening up to more ways of donating and other smaller things. I'll keep you all posted!
