    No, if 140€ a month breaks his bank he shouldn’t be hosting a server that costs 140€.

    If I had an apartment and a landlord charged me 1400€ for a fix that cost 140€ he would be a buffoon.

    Stop accepting incompetence just because he asked nicely. If he doesn’t have the technical skills to run a server he shouldn’t be running a server. It’s as simple as that.

      Well, it’s very easy to be the armchair expert and say how much better you’d do it. It’s another thing entirely to actually do it. You are free to prove how smart and competent you are by showing him how to do better.

      In any case, it’s irrelevant to the discussion. Like I said, if people are only giving him the money to cover the hardware costs, even if it was brought down the cost to zero he would still be working for free to all the 16k users of the instance.
