This can save a further EUR 1,037 i…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! Today, we would like to address two topics that have been of great interest to you in recent discussions. 1) Being responsible for a balanced budget, the ima team is not allowed to spend money that is not in the bank.

In the short term, it's not possible to integrate a display of individual memory consumption or a donation button into the website, nor to fix any bugs. A…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) The restart of ipernity after the maintenance work was unfortunately somewhat rough.
