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)
Self-Hosted Main
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
For Example
- Service: Dropbox - Alternative: Nextcloud
- Service: Google Reader - Alternative: Tiny Tiny RSS
- Service: Blogger - Alternative: WordPress
We welcome posts that include suggestions for good self-hosted alternatives to popular online services, how they are better, or how they give back control of your data. Also include hints and tips for less technical readers.

I just donated to freefilesync. I donate randomly when I feel though.
FreeBSD
Home Assistant, evcc
None.
Probably iTerm2. Use it everyday.
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).
Kimai - this is one system which has helped me the most last year!
Jellyfin Immich Paperless-ngx
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)
wish i could afford to if i had the money debian, openwrt and pterodactyl would be the main ones ~~use them the most~~
Jellyfin and neovim!
Signal
Coolify, amazing project!
Trilium Notes!
I'll be donating to Termux. I think its an exceptional idea with an amazing execution.
I've donated to Immich several times. So impressed by their work.
Reactive Resume https://github.com/AmruthPillai/Reactive-Resume
Disclaimer: I maintain the project :)
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.
Debian & Immich
FreeBSD & GrapheneOS
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.
Signal
Vaultwarden, Wikipedia, Vox Pupuli (Puppet)
(Bu not specifically this time of the year, it's a monthly small amount)
JellyFin is a great one. They’re needing the support due to a lack of devs.
Vaultwarden
Home assistant
Immich and Planka (if I can find a way)
Runtipi
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.
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.
Contribute monthly to Arch, Gnome, & LibreOffice.
Made a one-time donation to Remmina.
None. If you wanted paid you would've charged for it.
None, because I'm a developer of a self-hosted project. So I figure I contribute enough....😁
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.
Donating?
Buttercup.pw
Gotten so much use out of immich this year, I started sponsoring monthly
Fasten
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.
Codeberg
Librephotos. The best google photos alternative.
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 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
Just donated to OctoPrint! Use it all the time and it's been rock solid for years!
Django project. I use it at my startup.
