Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

Thanks for this thread; it's nice to see the genuine interest in people's responses as well.
I've abandoned most of my hobbies and goals, so I guess it'd just be forcing myself back to them and to push forward. Because either way, I can't follow through with any of my "plans" until I have ample space from my family.
Such as:
-Returning to my Japanese studies. I never got far, but I used to have consistency and memorization of a couple hundred kanji.
-Writing a little every day, even if it's just word vomit. Writing is the one rare thing that I enjoy, but it feels so hard to do that it's infuriating. The words stagnate; particularly when it comes to fiction writing.
-Not failing my prerequisite courses. It feels unattainable anymore, but I "want" to be a nurse.
-Picking up an instrument. Unsure which. I've never been into music up until last year, and consequently have zero knowledge.
-Investing more time into skincare/beauty. This is a big one for me. Because of my health issues, my skin/hair have suffered, among other things.
No matter how small, I think goals are a good thing; and I wish everyone the best of luck achieving them.
Not that all of this will be achieved in 2022, but my current goals are:
1. Try to heal two of my chronic health problems. Even one would be progress.
2. Try to make/save a little money.
3. Try not to ctb this year.
I almost said "get a job", as that's the most obvious thing I "should" do. But the way I've been feeling the past week, I don't really want that.
What I want is to get well enough mentally to live at a Buddhist monastery and grow spiritually.
Idleness may not seem like the ideal thing for a depressed person, but I figure life in a monastery would be less idle and less isolated than my current existence sitting in my new apartment. I need some structure and community in my life, and, as I said, I want to grow spiritually. What better way than to live with people way more spiritual than I am?
So I *don't* want to get a job, I need to get rid of this apartment I just got, put my few belongings in storage, and go meditate in the forest and sweep the temple grounds and listen to the birds.
I want to study and pass the examinations for my professional credentials, finally start playing the piano, and read to my heart's content all the spiritual books I want to pursue.
I also want to lose 40 lbs.

Well, my death would be okay as well, but if i can, at least, somehow manage to let some good contribution, a legacy, i'd be more satisfied, even if it means nothing at the end. I don't ask for some kind of redemption, my life is worthless anyway, its just a feeling of duty.
I would be heavily down for that. Sometimes a bit of encouragement to keep you on track can make all the difference (for those of us that aren't planning on ctb anytime soon). I'm already making great progress with one of my goals that I thought unattainable, so I'd love to spread the good energy back to anyone needing it.
