Help me create more Open content
I want to keep my content open and up-to-date. But to achieve that and keep creating new material, I need your support.
Most content creators quit because of the massive time commitment — way more than people think. How many valuable sites have you seen with no updates for years, even though the content was great? Some others end up limiting the access behind subscriptions and closed courses. I understand why they do it, but I will try to avoid that and continue publishing extensive articles regularly and for everyone, as long as people like you help me keep going. I believe in a collaborative community, and free and open sources of information must be part of it. This decision comes with risks, but I will try to stick to it and trust in a society that is mature and mindful of the value of others' work.
If you like my work, and you'd like to give back, you can donate whatever you think is fair through the links above. You can opt for a one-time contribution via PayPal (please choose 'friends and family' for lower fees) or BuyMeaCoffee, or a monthly subscription on Patreon. As a token of appreciation for their great contribution, Early BYTE Explorer Patreon subscribers will enjoy early access to my content on Patreon for a reasonable amount of time, until it is eventually released to everyone on this page.
If you can’t afford to contribute, no worries — you can still help by sharing my content, so it reaches more people. In any case, enjoy this site whenever you want, with no restrictions.
Thank you all so much!
♻️ Giving back to the FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) Community
At least 10% of the donations I receive are donated to free and open-source projects. Thanks to the support I've received, I've been able to cover some expenses for my bikepacking adventure while spreading FOSS along the way. But the content I create wouldn’t be possible without FOSS, and many of these projects are severely underfunded.
Even though 10% of what I get won’t even cover a basic web domain (and in many countries, not even a coffee! 😂), I'll do my best to give these projects visibility, hoping that, with a bit of luck, contributions will grow. I strongly believe in the FOSS community—not just in receiving, but also in giving back.
Once again, a huge thank you to everyone who helps make this adventure possible!
