Update 1/7/2025: BuyVM has been acquired, and this throws Lain.la's future into doubt.
> 更新1/7/2025：BuyVM已被收购，这使Lain.la的未来令人怀疑。
BuyVM is the provider of the edge nodes that I use to publish Lain.la, and Francisco, the owner, has sold the company. While I don't expect anything to change immediately, I would expect that what I am continuing to do today (e.g. pushing 500TB to 600TB of traffic a month) is in jeopardy. I must move off of BuyVM, and to prevent this from ever happening again, I must move to our own hardware for edge nodes. This can only mean colocation, and I will be doing this via Nulled LLC, a very tiny hosting provider ran by Jade, my partner. My deadline is November 2025, when my one year renewals expire with BuyVM.
> BuyVM 是我用来发布 Lain.la 的边缘节点的提供商，而公司所有者 Francisco 已经出售了公司。虽然我并不指望马上会有什么变化，但我希望我现在继续做的事情（例如每月推送 500TB 到 600TB 的流量）会岌岌可危。我必须离开 BuyVM，而且为了防止这种情况再次发生，我必须将边缘节点迁移到我们自己的硬件上。这只能意味着主机托管，我将通过 Nulled LLC 来实现这一目标，这是一家非常小的托管服务提供商，由我的合伙人杰德经营。我的最后期限是 2025 年 11 月，届时我与 BuyVM 的一年续约将到期。
If you want Pomf, Gitlab, Fedi, and all my other services to make it through these trying times, then I will need to shell out for multiple new rack servers and a new hosting contract. This is gonna be thousands and thousands of dollars to do and get right the first time. The benefit will be that this situation should not happen again, and Lain.la will have more control over the performance and security of systems at the edge. I can probably front this money myself as I always have, but you'll give me more options and a faster timeline if I can get that money sooner rather than letting it trickle in over time. Please donate below if you feel I've done something to deserve it and want to see more of what I'm capable of. Thank you.
> 如果你想让 Pomf、Gitlab、Fedi 和我的所有其他服务度过难关，那么我就需要购买多台新的机架服务器并签订新的托管合同。这需要花费数千乃至数万美元才能完成，而且第一次就得做好。这样做的好处是，这种情况应该不会再发生，Lain.la 对边缘系统的性能和安全性也有了更多的控制权。我也许可以一如既往地自己垫付这笔钱，但如果我能尽快拿到这笔钱，而不是让它随着时间的推移而涓涓流淌，那么你就会给我更多的选择和更快的时间表。如果你觉得我做了什么值得你这样做，并希望看到我更多的能力，请在下面捐款。谢谢。
