Keeping the lights on
Odit and links.et run on my own money. Here's the monthly bill, as of Nov 2026.
Every month ~$105 about 20k birr
The bill
- Contabo Two VPS boxes: APIs, databases, workers $52
- Ethio telecom teleCloud links.et server and egress IPs, in Ethiopia $22
- Vercel AI credits, topped up as needed ~$25
