April 2025 Finance Report

Thank you to everyone who has donated in April. I appreciate your support. Last April, GhostBSD accumulated 1206.05 CAD. 367.04 CAD was from Patreon, and 839.01 CAD was from donations through PayPal.

So far this year, the total is 4903.74. There is 22096.26 left to accomplish our goal of 27000 CAD.

Expenses

Infrastructure Costs

  • Storj: 129.45 CAD - package distribution
  • So You Start: 152.93 CAD - website server, Paris dedicated servers, and 6 IPs for jails
  • Server Electricity: 80.00 CAD - home server power costs
  • Server Internet: 80.00 CAD - home server connectivity

Total Expenses: 442.38 CAD

Infrastructure Updates

Since the new Dell PowerEdge R640 server is performing excellently, we have removed the OVH server, resulting in cost savings of 292.17 CAD per month.

In April, I started putting money aside for an Ampere ARM server to further expand our build infrastructure.

Notes

It is worth noting that Patreon revenue is decreasing, while PayPal donations have not shown a significant increase to offset this decline. Community support remains crucial for maintaining and improving GhostBSD infrastructure.
