How would the project sustain itself? (Hardware and hosting costs)
- ShamelessC 6y agoI'd honestly appreciate this enough to pay a subscription for it if there was a policy that meant the subscription fee was explicitly to avoid needing revenue from shady business. I believe fastmail is like that.

- pkaye 6y agoSo why doesn't Mozilla go for government grants instead of getting money promoting Google Search?
- hawski 6y agoThere would be drastically less content and the whole operation could be easier, because you probably don't have to worry so much about spam websites. That would keep it low cost already, not single DigitalOcean droplet cheap, but I think it could be sustained from a programmers pocket initially. Donations/patreon for one, then subscriptions. It should be possible to offer a contentless index for download (I estimate it could be around 50-200GB) and that could be a paid option.
