Donations are welcome!

Hi. As you may know, I've opened the instance about 12 days ago. Right now, the instance is ranked 6th out of hundreds of instances.
We're now using 4 vCPU and 16GB RAM server for 38€ which is very cheap (Not that cheap anymore. We're using dedicated 16 CPU, 48GB RAM server for 160€). But we need donations to continue uploading media or even to increase the limit and move to a better server against instant load. Also we transfered 5TB of media only in 12 days 🤷♂️ Thanks to Cloudflare, this didn't cause much trouble to us.
If you want to donate, here's donation platforms we use:
- GitHub Sponsors: https://github.com/sponsors/xaegreal
- Ethereum (ETH): 0x4e4af5dc2f86235ac496542c2a1c00f3c4de40c6
- Monero (XMR): 48VYVWPKk65KiDiBaLhvSggKSbDQ4vtdq6HHbDa2HxWLiBWVcZ65gTgMBu7UeSUcm4dasAMMaKHnJNJSgRKi7Q5R5HN9adg (Monero doesn't have an explorer, so here's current donations: 0.05, 0.03, 0.12, 0.15, 0.3; total 0.655)
- Ripple (XRP): rJRiM1spu2s1vQUWLWuBAKdCXejRS4wjvi
- Dash: XhyDJx86o5XbwxeAazmqEtapaLJ7cpUcc5
It was about 30GB when I checked two days ago.
Edit: it's 33 now.
Could consider utilising storage buckets for this - Backblaze B2 is $0.005 per GB/month and has partnerships with Cloudflare etc. Should reduce your costs pretty well.
Have you checked IONOS?
