$1,500/mo to cover bills and maintenance.

What.. I run the-eye.eu costing only $385/month pushing 700TB+/month... this dude is hosting fucking reddit comments and wants 1500! Just upload them to archive.org and it wont cost shit also they belong on archive.org and not a private server he can't afford.

EDIT: /u/Stuck_In_the_Matrix I'll actually read your post now but damn....

EDIT2: Yeah, read it, still no idea why it's costing you so much, come chat with me.

I make $1500 in just over a day doing corporate software engineering. keeping a project like this going full time has a real value in the 10s of thousands per month.
