Same. I’ve been thinking about who to donate to this year, and it looks like they’re making the cut. I’ll probably also throw some money at my Lemmy instance and a handful of projects I use, including Tor, because apparently they got caught in the dragnet too.
If only there was a decentralised tracker which would track project funding and give us metrics like which project is dangerously close to shutting down
Relevant to !selfhosted because one of the projects getting funding cut is Let’s Encrypt.
It’s okay, Let’s Encrypt only provides SSL certs for… 63.7% of the market?
Okay okay, that is a lot. But what does a CA need funding for anyway? It doesn’t take much bandwidth to send out new certs.
The only thing that could be expensive is if they had to rapidly invalidate thousands of certs to protect the security of the entire internet.
But haha, that’s a pretty outlandish scenario that would never happen.
I’m gonna have to donate then.

Which other projects caught your attention? I was going to donate to Graphene, EFF and some TOR operators
Far more than I can reasonably support:
But the short list for now is:
And I’ll probably run a Tor relay or something as well.

Man, ReThink is such a lifesaver. It’s so good people at Graphene recommend it. I might give Qubes some bucks too, they are awesome
Well donating is good it’s not going to replace the government funding.
Every day just gets worse doesn’t it.
