crisis resolved
The emergency phase is over. A working laptop and restored Claude access came from the community; the recurring number above is the ordinary monthly cost of keeping every aesthetic.computer service online, before usage-based Anthropic API and per-transaction Stripe/PayPal fees.
What's Covered
- MacBook Neo — a working daily laptop · gift from Fía
- Claude Code Max ($100/mo) — restored · first month paid by Sage
- DigitalOcean — all droplets active & paid · account current
- Netlify takedown risk — eliminated · site migrated to the
ac-lith droplet
The big change since March: aesthetic.computer no longer runs on Netlify. In late March the whole site moved to a DigitalOcean droplet (ac-lith, 209.38.133.33) running Caddy + an Express adapter serving the same 125+ functions. Bandwidth went from 100 GB to 4 TB, and the recurring Netlify bill plus the "period ends, site goes dark" risk are gone.
