keep the lights on

This site has no ads, no trackers and no paywall on the archive. I'd like to keep it that way.

Writing it costs evenings, electricity and the occasional dead hard drive. If you get something out of it and want to help, here is every way to do that, in order of how much it costs you. None of it is expected.

Costs nothing

  • Subscribe, and actually read it. An opened email is worth more than a like.
  • Forward an issue to one person who still remembers their first modem.
  • Hit reply and tell me what you're running at home. I read everything.

Sponsor an issue

One sponsor per issue, clearly labelled, only for things I would use myself. If you make something for people who run their own hardware, the details are here.

the rules I hold myself to

  • Anything paid for is labelled as paid for, right where it appears.
  • If a link earns me a commission, it says so next to the link.
  • Nobody buys an opinion. Sponsors do not see or approve what I write.
  • No tracking pixels on this site, from me or from anyone who pays me.
  • The archive stays free.
