Old Computer Fun!
Welcome to the SubscribeStar page.  This thing is meant to help defray the hosting costs associated with the Old Computer Fun Network, including:

OCF Matrix Server VPS (ocfco.net:8448)
OCF PeerTube VPS (in progress)
OCF WWW and Gopher VPS (ocfco.net)
Retrocomputing Zone Obsolete Computer VPN (retrocomputing.zone, in progress)

Here, you can sign up to make a monthly recurring donation.  If you prefer a one-time donation, I also have Buy Me A Coffee at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/oldcomputerfun .

Current hosting costs are $10.50 per month, although this will change as PeerTube and the Old Computer VPN are spun up.  My guesstimation is that PeerTube will cost $24/mo (although this can be rolled in with some of the other services) and the Old Computer VPN inner OpenVPN server will cost $4.50/mo, for a total of $28.50.

Any contributions in excess of current hosting costs will be rolled back into the channel and services in some way.  If there is excess funding, my intention is to allow a 3-month buffer to accumulate, then use excess beyond that to buy broken old hardware (and the parts and supplies to fix it) to make videos about.  If these machines are suitable to put on the Old Computer VPN and run services on for you guys to play with, then I will keep them and do that.  If the machines are not suitable for such use, they will be given away to a supporter through a post here, via random selection.  I don't know if selection should be weighted towards supporters who contribute more, or if everyone should have an equal chance.  Let's talk about that.

If the Old Computer VPN grows to the point of consuming nontrivial amounts of electricity, I may start metering it and applying some of these funds towards that.

I intend for all funding to be fully transparent.  On the 1st of each month, a post will be made here detailing the amount of contribution in the previous month, along with expenses and current balance.

If you have any criticisms or suggestions, please reply to this post with them.  Thanks!!

Gentlemen.  Yes I am still alive.  I have to apologize for being a sack of sh!t lately.  This is the busiest time of year though.  Corn planting, hay making, corn spraying, sh!t spreading.  And fixing all of that garbage when it breaks down and/or catches on fire.  All of the lovely things that go into living the agrarian dream.  D:

It was pretty sh!tty of me to shill so hard for this subscribestar thang and then stop posting stuff all the sudden.  I have a bunch of stuff that I recorded but never cut together and uploaded, so I'm going to try to catch up on that stuff until my free time comes back a little better.

Sorry folks.  Feel free to send verbal abuse, death threats, etc.
