This here vault contains all the knowledge I could otherwise be gatekeeping behind paid courses or Fiverr sessions. Not only do I not earn money, I have to *pay* over 100 bucks every year for Obsidian Publish and the domain name to even make this all possible. I'm also running a publicly accessible NAS that keeps running 24/7, where I host plenty of fun services such as a Minecraft server, drawpile server, Teamspeak / Matrix chatting platforms, and even more. Those are yet another money sink, as the NAS adds up to the electricity bill. The best thing you can do to help me isn't to donate money to me. I'm willingly spending because I want this to be useful and to give other people a fun time. If you want to help me out, share your favourite articles from this vault with your friends, and hook them in our club so they can play Minecraft with us or draw with us on Drawpile. With that said, I'm obviously also open to monetary donations. So if the things I've brought to you over time felt meaningful and like a good service, and you want to help me keep doing it without the constraints of daily life expenses, then by all means, see what ways you can send funds below : - [Donating via PayPal](https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=HWE2U52CFW62U) - The most direct way to help me is PayPal. Unlike most platforms, PayPal doesn't take a percentage out of what you give me. Besides the payment processing fees which are unavoidable, all the money you send gets to me, and me only. Thanks PayPal. - Currently we're trying to upgrade the outdated hardware of my NAS. [Check the planned build here](https://fr.pcpartpicker.com/user/Olkris/saved/TzQjJx). The goal is roughly 1,100€. We already have 174€ towards the cause thanks to the following kind contributors : Fernavliz. - **Donating via Patreon** - I don't use Patreon much (since I don't like gate keeping my stuff behind pay walls), but I have it set up for single donations if you trust that platform more than PayPal. - However Patreon takes a 30% cut out of what you send me. Big yikes. - **Boosting my Discord servers** - Okay, this method of donation doesn't give *me* any money. It goes straight to *Discord's* pockets, not mine. So what is the use then ? - Boosting my servers gives everyone on it access to more emojies, bigger file uploads, and it allows me to pimp up the server and make it a cooler place. - If my server is a cooler, more active place, that will in turn allow me to have more people to show my cool website and NAS services to. - As a bonus side effect, I'll also be more interested in hosting events, competitions, and creating content for those Discord servers, as well as restocking my game key stash. - **Donating Monero** - The most private currency. Not tied to any government. Not traceable. Your government can't pull their "inflation" trick on this one and deny you of any purchase power. I like that idea, and I'd like to use Monero more. So here's my address if you wanna donate : - `89Ybs7vmfL48vQhakBfoxFZoHTYc7A439jEyEJFhKkiFazquUD21TqH1KGxJPf71jrMCz7wPnZKju3fzZrbsXABd82ATVUx` - **Art commissions** - I'd like to get into paid art commissions as well. Please help me get this venture started ! My DMs are wide open, so please shoot some requests.
