sponsor an issue
One sponsor per issue. A few plain sentences, clearly labelled, at the top of the email and of the post on this site, where it stays for good.
The people reading this run homelabs, self-host their services, tinker with local AI models and care where their data lives. If you make something for them, this is a quiet, direct way to say so.
- Placement
- Top of the issue, in the email and on the permanent web post.
- Format
- Your name, up to about 60 words, one link. Plain text, like the rest of the page.
- Written by
- You send the facts, I write it in the voice of the newsletter and you check it for accuracy.
- Exclusivity
- One sponsor per issue. Never a stack of them.
- Numbers
- The list is new and still small. I'll send you the real subscriber and open counts before you commit, not a rounded-up guess.
- Price
- On request while the list is growing, and priced to match its actual size.
- Hardware, hosting and tools for homelabs and self-hosting.
- Open source projects and the companies behind them.
- Privacy-respecting software and services.
- Books, courses and events for people who like to own the wires.
- Opinions. A sponsorship buys the slot, not a review, and not silence either.
- Tracking. No pixels or scripts on this site. Links can carry a plain UTM tag, nothing more.
- Anything I would not use or recommend to a friend.
- Unlabelled placements. If it is paid, it says so.
