Support the Lab

If you’ve landed here, you’re likely elbow-deep in your own Proxmox nodes or wrestling with Docker Compose YAML formatting. You know as well as I do that maintaining a home lab and a public-facing blog isn’t exactly a set-and-forget hobby.

The Unknown Universe is hosted on my local hardware and routed through a Debian VPS running Nginx. It exists because I prefer FOSS and privacy over the convenience of Big Tech’s walled gardens. However, those gardens don’t send me an electricity bill or a VPS invoice at the end of the month.

If my documentation of a specific fix or a deep dive into an obscure Linux issue saved you some trial and error, a small contribution towards the overheads would be appreciated. It keeps the Nginx proxy snappy and the home servers spinning.

How to help

I use Liberapay, which is FOSS-based and takes no platform fee. It’s the most logical way to support a project like this without feeding the corporate machine.

You can find the support link in the footer below, or click here to go directly to my Liberapay profile. Payments are securely handled by Stripe with no trackers or nonsense involved.

Thank you for your support 🤓
