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)
Opnsense. Switched to it right after the whole pfSense plus fiasco.
Fasten
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.
Librephotos. The best google photos alternative.
Probably iTerm2. Use it everyday.
Home Assistant, evcc
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.
The last couple of years I have been donating to Gluetun.
The dev is very responsive to feature requests, and I don’t know how I would get along without it now.
Contribute monthly to Arch, Gnome, & LibreOffice.
Made a one-time donation to Remmina.
Coolify, amazing project!
FreeBSD
