In the past I've donated old hardware to OpenBSD [1] and would love to donate to them directly, but they aren't registered as a 501c3 in the US and can't claim the deduction on taxes (yes, I know, I am not 100% altruistic).

Instead I donate to FreeBSD and support OpenBSD in an ancillary way through OpenBSD Amsterdam [2]. Which yes, is also not tax exempt, but does comes with nice OpenBSD VM.

Sending money annually to OpenBSD myself, as the operating system brings me a lot of joy for how integrated and predictable it is. Sending money to Sourcehut, although that is not a donation, and FreeBSD in the past.

I also donated to the FSFE, they're doing such important work in the EU at this time.

thanks for your donations... I use openbsd on a daily basis. Like you I love its simplicity. I love how few processes are running at anytime and how easy to tell what they do.
