Thank you

They need $5800/month in recurring donations to fund a full time developer to be working on Accrescent, implementing new features, creating new tooling, etc. The blog post clearly says this.

What would you use instead? PayPal? Which was literally founded by fascist Elon Musk and democracy-hating Peter Thiel?

Anything that involves banks? Literally centralized financial institution that are subject to extensive KYC/AML regulation?

GitHub Sponsors at least doesn’t charge fees, so it’s the best of these options. But crypto, especially XMR, is objectively better for accepting donations online.

A lot. Including significant security issues. https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/

This might become my favorite quote.

Thanks for your feedback, might be useful for other users

If I remember correctly you can download a profile from https://account.protonvpn.com/downloads#wireguard-configuration

You can choose if you want to use a free or premium server (obviously the premium server is only gonna work if you also have a premium subscription)

I know I’m kinda late, but I used to use a site called BlackSpigot years ago

I think you can bypass this by using the WireGuard profile instead of their official app, haven’t tried this for quite some time though

Would you mind sharing how you found it?

Anna’s Archive has a full mirror of SciHub called SciDB

I’m not the author. You can thank @rysiek@szmer.info for this amazing write-up

I remember using mktorrent a few years ago.

A friend of mine used to live right above a McDonalds and used their free Wi-Fi all the time.

Wikipedia has way more donors, since it’s basically the only one of its kind. There is no Big Tech alternative to Wikipedia, so everyone just uses it by default. There are lots of other messengers though, so Signal isn’t the default choice.

Finally a good approach at raising money (other than donations)

Found something that might work: https://github.com/sotiris-bos/qBittorrent_to_Transmission
