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)
Vaultwarden, Wikipedia, Vox Pupuli (Puppet)
(Bu not specifically this time of the year, it’s a monthly small amount)
Signal
None.
Vaultwarden
What I do is take my yearly donation budget and divide it up to all of the projects (don’t forget about those libraries, dependencies, etc)
Probably iTerm2. Use it everyday.
Signal
Not a software project, but eff.org. For software, signal.org.
I’ve also just subscribed to simplelogin premium and i consider it a pseudo donation too since it does have a huge impact on my email management.
Coolify, amazing project!
Librephotos. The best google photos alternative.
Donating?
Just donated to OctoPrint! Use it all the time and it’s been rock solid for years!
FreeBSD
