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.

Of course this my first Fall without her in 35 years, so my moods are becoming blacker, she and I both hated when the clocks had to be turned back, this year it will happen the 6th of next month

I think it gets to most people. It's SAD, literally, Seasonal Affective Disorder. I wish they'd quit messing with the damn clock and making it even worse. In your case, after losing someone you've enjoyed for 35 years, I can see how the effects would be even more amplified. I'm sorry for your loss.
Yeah i'm not a fan of how dark it gets earlier in the day. The Sun also has a glaring shine to it where I live during Winter so it's very annoying to deal with.
Fall is my favorite season, then Winter. I LOVE that it gets darker during the day, with the wind howling and the trees turning their leaves, and eventually bare. I LOVE it. Summer is the worst, people are out and about holding hands and just making me sad to live while I just sit here alone. I can understand why you are reluctant to enjoy Fall though, you're doing it by yourself and it's not easy. No, it is not. and I know loneliness all too well. I wish there were my love to cuddle up to, but not in this life, sadly.
I'm the opposite. The early darkness gives me comfort. I am more depressed during the summer than this time of year. As a matter of fact, fall is also my favorite time of the year as well. Perfect temperature where I live, it's not still daylight at 8PM, and a light jacket is all you need.
I'm no longer much of a fan of the ice and snow, but I'd still take that over scorching temperatures and glaring daylight.

I find all times of year to be depressing, I mean the existence of life itself is depressing. I just get tired of all these endless days. Absolutely nothing in this life brings me any relief or comfort.
It must be painful losing someone and it must be hard to deal with. I guess that after all losing people is an inevitable consequence of life being brought into this world, as sad as it can be there is no escaping it.
