Welcome Canton, OH!
3 Aberdeen fiber channel RAIDs. Each box has 16 x 6TB units storage yielding about 72TB of RAID (6 double parity).
Here is what htop looks on one of them.
We just made it past 1000 signups this morning. Nearly everyone joining had very thoughtful and meaningful explanations of why they want to try using this instance. It is an amazing time for the internet and we truly appreciate SDF being a part of this.

The NABU computer is a great deal. You can buy one directly from [http://www.pellmill.com/](Pell Mill) and with efforts made by DJ Sures and others at https://nabu.ca there is a thriving infrastructure and community around it. Its z80 based and capable of running CP/M. From there you can run the MSX emulator and play many MSX games.
Some see it as lacking a second processor, additional memory and fans. We see opportunity and potential for growth (after a firmware flash 🤪)
Thank you for asking! As far as resources we're doing quite well hardware/network wise and our colocation provider in Seattle Washington has been incredibly helpful to us since September of 2022 when we needed to scale up Mastodon quickly.
On the Mastodon side folks there suggested a "Not a Blue Check Mark Club" as a fun and inexpensive way for the community to show support without having to make a big commitment. This has now been subscripted as "Not a Closed API Club"
It should also be clear that the best way to support SDF's efforts in the Fediverse is to use the resources and to talk to your friends about why Decentralized, Federated social networking is better for us all. And while it is not at all necessary, any financial support through donations or membership on the SDF Public Access UNIX side is greatly appreciated and goes to our mission of "a community platform for inspiring, facilitating and implementing new ideas".

Vacuum hair, skin/dander and crumbs. Alcohol may be okay on metal and some plastics, but windex or warm soapy water works well too.
Here is what SDF's Toad-2 looked like prior to its installation.
