My Open Source contributions for 2022

Hey folks! It's that time of year where I go through and decide which projects I'm donating to. Last year I shared what my open source contributions were. My hope is that I can encourage or inspire others to support the projects they love and use the most. Here are my contributions for 2022!

• Aegis Authenticator (opens in a new tab) - Pretty great open source 2FA app. ($52/year)
• AntennaPod (opens in a new tab) - I don't listen to a ton of podcasts. I go through spurts but I think it's enough I should support the project. ($52/year)
• Codeberg (opens in a new tab) - GitHub but without all the code stealing and AI teaching. It's where I host the build files for my sites. ($52/year)
• Eleventy (opens in a new tab) - Static site generator I use to run my site. ($52/year)
• Home Assistant (opens in a new tab) - Free and Open Source home automation. ($52/year)
• KeePassDX (opens in a new tab) - KeePass for Android! ($52/year)
• KeePassXC (opens in a new tab) - KeePass for Linux! ($52/year)
• Mastodon project (opens in a new tab) - These are the people who write the Mastodon software!! ($52/year)
• Mozilla Foundation (opens in a new tab) - These people make Firefox. I'm not super happy with their direction but the fact of the matter is, Firefox is still the best browser for me. Even if I end up using some fork of Firefox, contributing to at this level is still helping downstream forks. ($52/year)
• Navidrome (opens in a new tab) - I listen to a lot of music and this helps me have a bit more of a sophisticated approach to my music curation. ($52/year)
• Syncthing (opens in a new tab) - Sync things on my local network. What's not to love about that?? ($52/year)
• Wikipedia (opens in a new tab) - I don't think I can imagine the Internet without Wikipedia. ($52/year)
