Divested Computing Group is an umbrella for full-time passion projects by myself, Tad, since 2014.
I devote a significant amount of my time and resources to FOSS and operate independently of any organization or company.
Your donation here will support the following:
- Ensuring the continuity of the free-and-open-source Divested projects
- Providing timely responses to user messages and issues
- Covering my monthly living expenses such as housing, utilities, and groceries.
- Web server costs: currently $144 + $192 a year + need to scale up, current ones are pushing it
- Chat server costs: currently $144 a year
- Domain name costs: currently $73.29 a year
- Electricity costs: currently averaging $200 a year for compiles alone
- Computing hardware costs are currently sufficiently covered thanks to past donations.
- Acquiring test devices for DivestOS, ranging between $50 and $300. Last devices:
- Pixel 4 for $95 in August 2023
- Moto G4 for $30 in August 2023
- Kindle Fire HDX 3 for $17 in August 2023
- HTC One M8 for $15 in August 2023

- I would like to make available a Gitea instance, along with a forum site, and will soon need to make available an email server.
- Occasional contributions to various related community projects (examples here or here)
This section counts the required on-going maintence work but does not count the time spent for research, improvements, debugging, providing support, etc.

Via Stripe (bank card)¶
Via Liberapay¶
Please be careful with Liberapay, the page and wording can be very unintuitive and potentially charge more then you wanted. Do not hesitate to reach out to them or me if it does.
The entirety of the time period is paid up-front in full, not broken up and will by default automatically renew after the time period passes in full.
Example: three months of $10 will immediately charge you $30, and then charge you $30 again in three months.
Via Bitcoin¶
