I might be shutting down the site soon. The cost every month is starting to become a burden, especially now that I have a 7000 euro expense coming next year.
The site costs me about 90 to 95 euro each month to keep up and running smoothly and there haven't been donations for a very long time to help out. Now I can lower the cost by hosting everything locally on my home internet but it isn't equipped for the kind of traffic frtools experiences until I get fiber early next year. Nor will my internet be suitable for US visitors due to the distance, my current host has all images mirrored in a US data center to ensure fast loading through a CDN (Content Delivery Network).
I've not made a final decision yet. This was definitely a fun and very worthwhile project to have done, I learned a lot of things that has furthered me in my career.
If you want to ensure the site stays available then I urge you to toss me a ko-fi or a patreon as any donation helps offset the expenses : )

As promised, I managed to get rhe flash sale tracking (and new item tracking) working on the new (hopefully cheaper) system.
The previous system I was running was called an Azure App Service. This is essentially a simple version of a full blown virtual machine server. I was not using most of its features that I was paying for because it's an all or nothing deal. Almost all the tools were running as so called webjobs on that server. This is extremely inefficient, but it is really easy to set up.
Now I am moving the tools that are capable of it to a thing called Azure Functions. Its basically the same thing but even more slimmed down and entirely on demand. It's essentially just the webjobs part without the web server side. This allows me to host timed functions, such as the flash sale tracking, without the overhead of an entire server above it. The major thing for Azure Functions is that there is a monthly free grant of 1 million requests or 400000 gigabyte of data consumption. I won't reach either of those limits on a monthly basis. I'll mostly just be paying for storage and database usage now, which will bring hosting cost down drastically!
This is not going to be compatible with things like the discord bot or the website itself for the skin tester. But I have ideas for that as well.
Another upside is that I was finally forced to update from .net framework 4.8 to netcore6. Once I rebuild other parts I have more options such as Linux hosting which is most commonly cheaper compared to windows hosting that I was required to use up to now.
Once I get more things working you will know 🫡

A little pocket guide to Glimmer & Gloom Hard Mode! I think it’s the best way to grind treasure (takes me about 10-15 minutes to max out the fairgrounds), but I couldn’t find the guide I liked so I made my own,,
figured it could help someone out!

I have a vague memory of someone asking me for this bio code at one point, and since I'm redoing my bios and won't be using this anymore myself, here it is as free-use for everyone <3
Graphics are from Osiem's gorgeous bio resources
yes you can edit it as much as you like
no I don't need to be credited for the coding or anything, it's fine ^^
Coding can be found under the cut! It works both with or without vistas ^^
