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 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.
Fasten
Jellyfin and neovim!
Django project. I use it at my startup.
Reactive Resume https://github.com/AmruthPillai/Reactive-Resume
Disclaimer: I maintain the project :)
Debian & Immich
I’ve donated to Immich several times. So impressed by their work.
Probably iTerm2. Use it everyday.
OctoPrint .
A 3D printer without OctoPrint is possible, but useless.I’ll be donating to Termux. I think its an exceptional idea with an amazing execution.
United24.
authentik, because of the awesome SSO tool, which is run by mainly one dev.
