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)

    Debian.

    The “OG” of linux distros that is still around and very active now after ~30 years, but most of all, its run entirely by the community. Project leaders are elected by contributors, there is no company backing them and no company influencing the project.

      Kinda unrelated but it’s amazing how we can come together as a community and make things together in a big agreement to ditch relying on companies.

    None, because I’m a developer of a self-hosted project. So I figure I contribute enough…😁
