The Dell PowerEdge R640 server continued to perform excellently. We also continued saving for an Ampere ARM server to further expand our build infrastructure.

Notes

At the end of April, there were 11 sponsorship cancellations from the same account, and PayPal donations were lower that month. Both Patreon and PayPal revenue continue to face challenges, making steady community support more vital than ever to sustain and grow GhostBSD’s infrastructure.
