thanks a lot !! much appreciated

 

Open Collective - Lemmyfly

Last months server costs was the first month payed for using donations: Thank you for that ! There is not enough balance for the next month(s) yet.

Currently there are 2 contributions made out of 118 users that lemmyfly.org hosts.

If you are using this server to browse the Fediverse, could you please help out ?

Just a euro or two per month, times many of you, would be more then enough !

The donations are help by the legal fiscal host Open Collective Europe - all reimbursements are fully transparent posted on the platform and payed out from there.

Thank you again for your consideration 🙏

As you might understand, running the server costs real money. At the moment this comes down to +- 11,- EUR per month.

I would appreciate it if those who use this server to browse the fediverse would help out in sharing these costs. If every member would help out with a tiny amount, it would already be enough.

I've created an account on opencollective. Money donated will stay on their bank account, I will upload invoices expenses of the hosting provider, domain registrar to the platform so it is fully transparent on where the money is spent.

Thanks a lot for helping out !

I recently got the Q4XP and discovered Widerøe flies nice domestic routes in Norway. Perfect for a short 50min flight for example. I found widerøevirtual.online - a phpVms based VA. I liked what it offers: an overview of real life flights which you can choose to fly, helps you in creating a simbrief OFP. It seems a bit quiet here though, small group of members (which is nice I think) and you’ll have to wait on manual pirep approval. The VA seems new-ish, lets hope it grows a bit and becomes somewhat more active.

I’m also a member of klm-va.nl which is much more free: you can choose to fly real life scheduled flights (get more points for that) but you can just fly any dep-arr you like in whatever plane - and still get points for it.

I’ve also tried several VA’s based on the vamSys software - the most modern and solid build va-system I think. They’ve got some very active communities, which is also a very nice part of flying with a VA.

I’m wondering what others experiences are with flying on the sim with a virtual airline?

It does a lot of times if you reverse that

no, a random image I just now check was 3.3mb even. But you're right, the image source does point to the origins server location... Then why are all those images stored on the server ?

[–] majorswitcher@lemmyfly.org 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

When I look on my server in the volumes/pictrs folder, there are a LOT of images that I recognize from my feed. They are not from posts posted to my server but belong to posts of communities that I have subscribed to

yes. running a server costs money. I have lemmyfly.org running just 2 days now on digitalocean using a cheap 1GB ram, 25GB diskspace and 1000GB bandwidth for $7,- a month. Storing images on the server will eventually take up all space and bandwidth meaning you have to upscale -> pay more.

Using a different location for storing images and/ or videos is best to offload the instance !

[–] majorswitcher@lemmyfly.org 1 points 1 year ago (5 children)

yes, they are hosted on the server that is running the Lemmy instance. But every other instance that is linked to that instance will 'scrape' all posts incl images and store them on they're own server. So posts and images are served from the instance you yourself are a member of
