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)
Trilium Notes!
FreeBSD & GrapheneOS

Vaultwarden, Wikipedia, Vox Pupuli (Puppet)

None.
Kimai - this is one system which has helped me the most last year!

I involuntary donated all of my tax money to my government. Sadly got not much left. I already gave something to signal. Maybe I will give something neovim, but I first have to get some Christmas presents.

Coolify, amazing project!
Librephotos. The best google photos alternative.
Opnsense. Switched to it right after the whole pfSense plus fiasco.
I’ll be donating to Termux. I think its an exceptional idea with an amazing execution.
