This is very bad news. Owncast has relied on this program the past couple of years, and has allowed us to have servers and services we wouldn't normally afford to be able to do otherwise, especially now with Gabe being unemployed.

Any other cloud hosting providers want to step in and help all the open source projects that are going to be in this position?

Additionally, this might be a good time to show your financial support for Owncast.

Hello,

We're reaching out to share an important update regarding
the DigitalOcean Open Source Credits Program.
DigitalOcean has decided to sunset the Open Source Credits
Program. As part of this change, we are no longer accepting
new credit applications or approving credit renewals,
extensions, or additional credit requests.

If you currently have Open Source Credits that have already
been granted, those credits will continue to be honored
according to their existing terms and conditions. No action is
required for your existing credit allocation.

Additionally, the dedicated inbox for the Open Source Credits
Program will stop being monitored as part of this transition.
For any further questions or assistance, please submit your
inquiries through our standard support channel: https://
www.digitalocean.com/company/contact/support

We appreciate your participation in the DigitalOcean Open
Source Credits Program and the work you do to support the
open source community. Thank you for being part of the
program. — Hello, We're reaching out to share an important update regarding the DigitalOcean Open Source Credits Program. DigitalOcean has decided to sunset the Open Source Credits Program.

@owncast DigitalOcean, the one sponsoring Omarchy? Good riddance you're having to ditch them.

@owncast Sorry to hear this, that sucks :(. Interesting how they had $3m to give to a Linux distribution run by a racist but ended this funding for opensource projects tho.
