If you feel the burning desire to support this small blog of mine or any number of my projects, you’re more than welcome to help fund my NearlyFreeSpeech (NFS) account!
❤️ Add funds to my NFS account
Current balance: $35.66
By funding the hosting provider directly, you help cover the costs of running and maintaining this website, including but not limited to:
- bandwidth
- domain renewals
- email service / forwarding
- ongoing maintenance
- writing new articles / tutorials
The account contribution page linked above will provide even more details, should you have any questions. In a nutshell: no part of your contribution is sent to me.
Instead, it is applied directly to my NearlyFreeSpeech hosting account.
Buy Stickers
If donating isn’t your thing, you can always buy some stickers!
I’ve designed a few stickers based on things I love: OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Raspberry Pis, etc. No AI or generated materials used at all!
