Anyone still using an old Proliant Microserver as NAS?

Despite being 13 years old, I use it as NAS with Unraid and works great. Not for computing of course, for that I have a HP EliteDesk Mini.
How do server upkeep costs look like for fediverse stuff? 2 0
I see four options:
- Server owner assumes all costs of the server. Possible if instance is not huge (ideal on a federated environment) or owner has money and will to do it.
- Accept donations from users
- Require paid subscription to access (and thus becoming private otherwise anyone could still access the server from a free instance)
- Run ads on site. Same as 3, users would migrate.
So I only see 1 and 2 possible

Not available in the EU. I hope it stays like that.

HP printers may be cheap but damn the ink is expensive and they try to detect third-party ink and refuse to work
