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?
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 just donated to freefilesync. I donate randomly when I feel though.
Home assistant
Runtipi
Fasten
wish i could afford to if i had the money debian, openwrt and pterodactyl would be the main ones
use them the mostCoolify, amazing project!
Donating?
Just donated to OctoPrint! Use it all the time and it’s been rock solid for years!
I’ve donated to Immich several times. So impressed by their work.
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.
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.
My HumbleBundle donations go to the EFF, which is my indirect way of supporting Let’s Encrypt. I used to support the Internet Archive before they went political (and, consequently, to shit).
You’re aware that apolitical organisations don’t actually exist, right?
None.
Immich and Planka (if I can find a way)
