I’m making a quick list to be sure to support projects that have a positive impact on my digital life, at the crossroads of selfhosting and privacy.
Selfhosting is currently more of a hobby (fiddling, note-taking and media serving), and looking at my Portainer stack right now, I’m thinking of PiHole, Jellyfin, Homarr and Homepage.
Some projects like FileBrowser, PiGallery2 and Audiobookshelf don’t seem to have a way to contribute financially.
Any well-know project that might be in near-critical condition/need of support? Which projects are you planning to donate to?
I just donated to freefilesync. I donate randomly when I feel though.
Audiobookshelf would be the primary donation, as I’ve had thousands of hours of usage from it… I use it everywhere and all the time, when I’m working, travelling or just relaxing. In addition, I’ve often liked the idea of sponsoring a couple of features (A list-view, and folder-structure browsing)
I involuntary donated all of my tax money to my government. Sadly got not much left. I already gave something to signal. Maybe I will give something neovim, but I first have to get some Christmas presents.
Signal
FreeBSD & GrapheneOS
Donating?
Home assistant
I usually take $100 and find 10 projects I used that year. But EFF, tor, tails, and qubes-os are always on the repeat donation list.
Contribute monthly to Arch, Gnome, & LibreOffice.
Made a one-time donation to Remmina.
Debian & Immich
Immich and Planka (if I can find a way)
Vaultwarden
Codeberg
None. If you wanted paid you would’ve charged for it.
Joplin & joplin Firefox plugin, Jellyfin, VLC, Keepassium, KeepassXC, Syncthing, lutris, Homeassistant, Okular, KDE, KDE Connect, Kubuntu
