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.

wish i could afford to if i had the money debian, openwrt and pterodactyl would be the main ones
use them the mostMonetarily - 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 do automatic monthly donations to the Frigate project. It’s provided a ton of value so me, so I support the project on an ongoing basis through a gitbub sponsorship: https://github.com/sponsors/blakeblackshear
JellyFin is a great one. They’re needing the support due to a lack of devs.
Home Assistant, evcc
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?
None.

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.
