I am a programmer that enjoys working on open-source projects.

My most popular current project is zlib-ng, which I think is too important to give up on and deserves my time and effort to the benefit of everyone. Zlib-ng is now used as a zlib-replacement by several Linux distros, and both .Net and CPython are in the process of migrating to it for new releases.
Donations go to investing in testing platforms for zlib-ng.
So far, your donations have bought two Rpi5 and one mb/cpu/ram with AVX512-capable Rocket-Lake cpu, these are actively used to test, develop and benchmark zlib-ng to ensure future releases continue to get better.

I am 100% disabled and no longer employed, so contributing to open-source is now one of my main hobbies, but funds are tighter than before and access to second-hand hardware is much worse.
