I must mention this FOSS app! https://github.com/danilkinkin/buckwheat

I use this to track my monthly spend with my cards that I manually swipe at stores. This is the only budgeting app that has stuck with me for quite some time.

I’m donating a shy of 20€ per month to services automatically on Liberapay/Opencollective as long as I can. I do /try/ to give back on the projects that I use a lot in either my time and effort (IE: sitting in their IRC channels helping people for example), or a monetary donation.

It’s not much, and I hope these open source projects never become something that depend on money and donations, but there are always cost to running services online.

WeeChat! I’ve been using WeeChat for like 13 years now and I love it. I used to use irssi back in the days and mIRC before irssi existed… Some bitchX experiments may have happened at some point during the shell boom too.

This remote interface is the biggest selling point to me even today, it’s amazing: WeeChat-Android.

I’ve been using dwm for well over 10 years now… It just works, does what I want. Super easy to extend as well, and I can only blame myself for any bugs.
