A voluntary "FOSS subscription"

...for open tools and services that are useful to me.

I'm doing this since summer 2024.

Each project gets paid at least 5€ per month.

Let's take the monthly recurring revenue model of MS365 as an example but fund projects, that won't sell your data 😊

I believe in monthly payments so the projects have a stable budget to operate with.

The list includes now:

- KDE (desktop on two devices, 10€)
- ✉️ Thunderbird
- 🛜 Signal

Joined today by:

- social.tchncs.de

So if you can, consider paying for the foss services you use 🙂

Thanks for hosting this platform @milan

Welp, the latest @thunderbird update has broken my ability to send work emails (and yes, it's definitely the update that's caused it not anything else - on my work inbox it's giving timeouts on all emails since the update, and I checked by updating it on another computer which triggered the exact same bug).

So I hope they fix that soon or I'll have to find another email client which would be a pain :(

Today I finally fixed a fragile piece of how I work which is how I refer back to emails relating to long-running tasks or just ones I might want to refer back to at some point.

Thanks to the Message-Id header in every email, #Thunderbird supporting a way to find and open messages by their ID (as well as a handy add-on for retrieving them), and some #Neovim magic, I can now link to emails in my work log files and get back to them incredibly quickly and easily.

Solving a 17 years old issue of #Thunderbird by exposing the default sorting and threading options in the settings, and allowing a quick "Apply to all" button (or choose folders separately).
Soon, on a daily release near you...
