Let's see if this affects my setup. But maybe there are more tweaks i can do to cut costs if it rises to much. In the past i moved from a managed PostreSQL from fly.io to a self hosted version on a fly.io machine and it saved me around 30$ a month.

Writing about what I build at herrlichdigital.de/blog
- Nextcloud (Cloud Storage alternative)
- Home Assistant (Awesome Smart Home Platform)
- Calibre-Web (Managing my eBooks)
I also run Umami but on a fly.io instance with all my other software that i build as a solo preneur.
After that, I asked an HN Mod what the problem was, and they thought my posts were created by GenAI, and because of that, they were flagged. And he gave me the advice that I don't use GenAI at all for HN, not even to polish my crappy text.
Hope this was helpful, wish you a good Day
