Monthly. There were a couple yearly that I just normalized down to monthly.
Yes, shipped to a server at my house.
No we launched with stripe, but if you look at our site you'll see we don't push it heavily since we pay more fees there.
Good idea, they all do except interac since everything routes through stripe. It's absurd the amount of transaction data they get. Thanks!
As requested, here's some additional info about donation methods / sizes / volume!

I like the idea of a specific fundraiser. ~~Our post 6 months ago is what drive the big spike visible on the graphs, so I was hoping for a similar boost this time.~~ If we don't get there naturally, I think that's a reasonable next step.
See below for your other question.
Edit: I was wrong, the big spike was Smorks transferring our old donations over. I forgot about that!
I have no problem sharing anonymized info for things like this, it's just difficult to pull.
We accept donations a few different ways, they can be one time or recurring, we don't know who people are , and we often get paid weeks after they happen once it gets reconciled by stripe.
Let me see what I can do.
Re: Lem.ee that's kinda a different problem. They weren't financial issues afaik, but admin burnout. I don't think that's a concern on our side at this time.
Two hosts would cost more in colo fees and we don't need the resources. The redundancy would be nice, but this is enterprise grade hardware covered under Dell prosupport. I also have an identical box running my home systems, so I could steal parts temporarily if we had an issue.
Yeah the ram is just what the hosts came with. It's way more than we need and so everything is very over provisioned.
Fish scales?
