# State of the Thunix - August 2019
# State of the Thunix - September 2019
Hey peoples!
Hello Thunixers!
New stuff this month? Ya loving Debian Buster yet? Hope so, we upgrade the OS this month from Stretch to Buster. Had some hiccups, but generally, it went well, without too much issue.
Another month, and more users on board!
Also, we've gotten $5 in donations this month :) Thank you all for your support, past and present. Operating costs are the same as they have been.
Not too much has been going on as of late, due to time constraints for
the admin team here, as well as just a low-volume of requests. Likely
due to a few things, mainly, it's summer for most of our users, and
well, Thunix has most services folks need. So, if it ain't broke, don't
fix it
While doing some tinkering around, I installed a few static site generators. Feel free to play around with them, and use them! We also have some new members, and some folks working on some projects. The wiki is coming along well, so feel free to contribute your how-tos and such.
The biggest change has been the addition of our wiki, which has some
good documentation there already. If there's a document you want to see
there, add it with a PR, or ask someone to write it up for you. It's
not particularly difficult, it's just Markdown.
So, while the past few weeks have been a bit of work, it's a small number of items, individually. So, it seems like not too much has happened, but its been a busy month.
In the roadmap for the next few months will be a hardware upgrade, but
we really need your help for this. In order to migrate to new hardware,
and in the long term, reduce monthly costs, we will need to pay for two
servers for one month. So, I'm letting you know now, all donations
coming in now will be funneled into the "Hardware upgrade bucket". It's
not a very high cost, we're looking at something around 30€ total for
this, maybe a euro or two more. This is ~$32US. So, if you can donate,
this is the time to do it. To date, we've received a total of $12US in
donations, which has gone towards current server leasing costs (Total of
$9US after fees, and I spent 1USD on coffee lol). I would like to have
the hardware upgrade done by December, if possible.
Hop onto IRC or post in iris if you have any questions, concerns, or comments :)
All that being said: I want to make sure nobody is feeling pressured to
donate. If you can donate, great! If not, that's cool too! We still
welcome you to be a part of this community!
Also, if there is anything you'd like to see offered as a service, let
us know! If it's doable, we'll do it. At worst, we'll say "No", but
also let you know why we can't. Most of the time, we say "Yes" though
So, here's to another month, and many more!
