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.
Probably iTerm2. Use it everyday.
wish i could afford to if i had the money debian, openwrt and pterodactyl would be the main ones
use them the mostContribute monthly to Arch, Gnome, & LibreOffice.
Made a one-time donation to Remmina.
Donating?

None.
Monetarily - I already support Home Assistant through Nabu Casa. … donate to PiHole on a non-scheduled basis, a couple of times a year. … send in an annual to wikipedia.
I donate my time to Apache Software Foundation.
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.
