Which FOSS project do you recommend donating to and why?

1. NewPipe

   1 429 3,330 8.8 Java

   Discontinued A fork of NewPipe with SponsorBlock functionality. (by polymorphicshade)

   I love Newpipe. Special shoutout to the fork with Sponsorblock: NewPipe x SponsorBlock. One of the first apps I install after a fresh OS install.

2. InfluxDB

   influxdata.com featured

   InfluxDB high-performance time series database. Collect, organize, and act on massive volumes of high-resolution data to power real-time intelligent systems.

   

3. Pi-hole

   2 2,370 51,575 9.4 Shell

   A black hole for Internet advertisements

   

   https://pi-hole.net/, and it has saved me from a world of aggravation and irritation.

4. snakeware

   3 8 1,724 0.0 Python

   A free Linux distro with a Python-based userspace

   

   look at https://github.com/joshiemoore/snakeware where almost everything besides the Linux Kernel will be replaced by Python(They will find a way to init via Python.) Also http.server(a http server python module) and more.

5. QGIS

   4 82 11,225 10.0 C++

   QGIS is a free, open source, cross platform (lin/win/mac) geographical information system (GIS)

   

   QGIS. It's my favourite project ever and shows that libre software can be professionally compelling. ArcMap is good, but running QGIS on Linux is on a whole new level, it's reliable, has less bugs and there aren't catastrophic bugs (usually, there are some catastrophic on the non-LTR versions) or at least doesn't have the amounts of data loss that ArcMap has on their bugs. In my country QGIS is getting ahead of ArcMap on many public services because it's powerful and it's well optimised so it can run on low end and old machines. But still needs founding as more features are getting included and development is very quick in solving bugs, but minor ones are left unfixed in favour of prioritising the catastrophic ones.

6. .NET Runtime

   5 686 16,173 10.0 C#

   .NET is a cross-platform runtime for cloud, mobile, desktop, and IoT apps.

7. proton-ge-custom

   6 1,161 11,008 9.5 C++

   Compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine and additional components

   

   He does a really good job, and I love the fact that he gets even more games working for me. Though he tends to focus on games that don't work (for obvious reasons) and adding patches in that way, whereas valve seems to just focus on the translation aspect of proton. I'm not sure valve wants to put focus on individual games as much as the community does. Their goal is overall compatibility where we look at the few games we stick to.

8. profanity

   7 20 1,371 8.7 C

   Ncurses based XMPP client

   

   https://profanity-im.github.io/ because XMPP is a federated decentralized and encrypted message protocol. And Profanity is the client that I like most. I value privacy.

9. CodeRabbit

15. racket

    13 196 4,939 9.7 Racket

    The Racket repository

    

    I'd donate to open-source federated social media. Furthermore, I'd like to see modern functional programming languages being developed further (Idris and Racket are on my list).
