It seems that paying for the hardware and

can be done by the authors, but I don't think it should.
The readers should pay for it, either directly or by
having to lookat/ignore advertisements.
Fundraising is perfectly fine. People will just have to get used to it.
We'll do it once a year and cover our operating costs that way. Sure,
Google text-ads aren't too bad, but if we can easily do without them, why
bother?
One could test the ads on a inofficial mirror, every money that's not need
to operate the mirror could be given to Wikimedia. That would be a good
and semi-official method.
