Useful Lists

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?

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.

Gotten so much use out of immich this year, I started sponsoring monthly

[–] martin_xs6@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Just donated to OctoPrint! Use it all the time and it's been rock solid for years!

[–] jimmygle@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

JellyFin is a great one. They’re needing the support due to a lack of devs.

[–] crayiii@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Immich and Planka (if I can find a way)

[–] Antique-Clothes8033@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

FreeBSD & GrapheneOS

[–] ohuf@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

OctoPrint .
A 3D printer without OctoPrint is possible, but useless.

[–] jusepal@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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.

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.

Home assistant

[–] Unfair-Plastic-4290@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

None. If you wanted paid you would've charged for it.

[–] Digital_Warrior@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Librephotos. The best google photos alternative.

[–] highway2009@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Joplin & joplin Firefox plugin, Jellyfin, VLC, Keepassium, KeepassXC, Syncthing, lutris, Homeassistant, Okular, KDE, KDE Connect, Kubuntu

Home Assistant, evcc

[–] _ppaliwal@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Kimai - this is one system which has helped me the most last year!

[–] Awesomest_Maximus@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Vaultwarden

[–] dgtlmoon123@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

changedetection.io just donated to the awesome crew over at ntfy.sh

having those kinds of notifications is a key part for our software to achieve what it does.

[–] Significant_Chef_945@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Probably iTerm2. Use it everyday.

[–] circularjourney@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Contribute monthly to Arch, Gnome, & LibreOffice.

Made a one-time donation to Remmina.

[–] scmmishra@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Coolify, amazing project!

[–] aram535@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Monetarily - 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.

[–] mariomare22@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Debian & Immich

[–] Muffin_plop@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I've donated to Immich several times. So impressed by their work.

[–] AmruthPillai@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Reactive Resume https://github.com/AmruthPillai/Reactive-Resume

Disclaimer: I maintain the project :)

[–] NikStalwart@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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).

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.

[–] ParaDescartar123@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Jellyfin Immich Paperless-ngx

[–] user01401@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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)

[–] goodpoint4@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago
[–] OG_potato_gangsta@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Jellyfin and neovim!

[–] KlausBertKlausewitz@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago
[–] botterway@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Cybasura@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago
[–] Shehzman@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Opnsense. Switched to it right after the whole pfSense plus fiasco.

[–] TIL_IM_A_SQUIRREL@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] nameless-server@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I'll be donating to Termux. I think its an exceptional idea with an amazing execution.

[–] readyplayer202@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Django project. I use it at my startup.

[–] technonerd@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I usually take $100 and find 10 projects I used that year. But EFF, tor, tails, and qubes-os are always on the repeat donation list.

[–] Fluffer_Wuffer@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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)

[–] PirateParley@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I just donated to freefilesync. I donate randomly when I feel though.
