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.
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?
Immich and Planka (if I can find a way)
What I do is take my yearly donation budget and divide it up to all of the projects (don’t forget about those libraries, dependencies, etc)
Contribute monthly to Arch, Gnome, & LibreOffice.
Made a one-time donation to Remmina.
Jellyfin and neovim!
Coolify, amazing project!
Joplin & joplin Firefox plugin, Jellyfin, VLC, Keepassium, KeepassXC, Syncthing, lutris, Homeassistant, Okular, KDE, KDE Connect, Kubuntu
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.
Codeberg
Home assistant
Librephotos. The best google photos alternative.
