In the comments it essentially boils down to "We are unable to pay for co-location costs, and that's why our servers will go offline as Thomas our CEO is unreacheable. He only has access to bank and thus to funds." Given the whole FTX situation lately I read that like CEO was disappearing with a bunch of other people's money.
"Founder" in today's post is the CEO mentioned above, he writes "We'll also be divesting Fosshost's existing resources, including our hardware assets and any vendor agreements we can transfer, and providing them as grants to organisations trying to solve the same goals we were."
Hopefully this formal shutdown instead of "well, nobody who actually works on this can access the money to pay the bills, I guess we're shutting down" means that things are being closed down appropriately and any remaining resources will go to related causes.
I'm glad nobody dropped tens of thousands of dollars of servers on me before I discovered the weaknesses in my dreams and that servers are the cheap part if you haven't solved for cooling, power, network, people and moving money around.
But, sounds like they got in over their head on a well-intentioned project so, hope the CEO gets a little time to de-stress.
