🎄 Advent of Donations - Day 24 🎄

It's the final day of Advent of Donations and today I've selected something special! I'm sponsoring the Vim text editor because the Vim project uses most of their donations to support the Kibaale Children’s Centre in Uganda. I can't think of a better way to conclude Advent of Donations then donating to a higher cause like this. Also I'm going to double today's donation to $100.

Merry Christmas!

🎄 Advent of Donations - Day 23 🎄

On day 23 I'm sponsoring lazygit! It's a TUI application in the spirit of Fork or SourceTree but runs fully in the terminal. I makes working with git repositories an absolute joy.

🎄 Advent of Donations - Day 22 🎄

As we're getting closer to the end of Advent of Donations, I'm sponsoring another tool that I've been using since forever. It's tldr, the community driven cheatsheets for console commands. Another incredibly helpful tool from my shell toolbox.

🎄 Advent of Donations - Day 21 🎄

On day 21 we have the first project from the Java ecosystem. And it's with no doubt the most important project for the JVM: @junit I use it for testing in every JVM project that I work on.

🎄 Advent of Donations - Day 20 🎄

Today we have another pic from the modern unix list: eza is a modern, maintained ls replacement, written in rust. I use it every day and therefore the donation is well deserved.

🎄 Advent of Donations - Day 19 🎄

It's day 19, Advent of Donations is almost over. Today's donation of $50 go to @astro, the web framework for content-driven websites. Since the beginning of the year I've built three websites using Astro, including my blog. I really love the flexibility and all the integrations.

🎄 Advent of Donations - Day 18 🎄

Today I'm sponsoring KOReader! It's a free and open source e-reader software that you can flash on may devices, including Kindle. I liberated my Kindle some time in the middle of the year and I've never looked back.

🎄 Advent of Donations - Day 17 🎄

On day 17 I'm sponsoring another tool that's part of my workflow to navigate the terminal and getting directly to editing in NeoVim: fzf. It offers a fuzzy command line search and I use it as part of an alias to open the desired file form my project directory in NeoVim.

🎄 Advent of Donations - Day 16 🎄

On day 16 we have another pic from the tool stack I use in my home lab: Restic the free and open source backup solution. I use it to create incremental backup and store them in my self-hosted minIO instances. It's again one of those tool that just does its job without getting in your way.

🎄 Advent of Donations - Day 15 🎄

Today: Another piece of my keyboard driven terminal workflow. I'm sponsoring the zoxide project! zoxide keeps a list of all the places you've visited in the terminal and let's you jump to them without having to insert the full path of the directory.
