Making rent as an open source developer.

Shamelessly attracting new monthly sponsors and people willing to buy me the occasional pizza with my crappy HTML skills.

ScummVM added support for AGS a few releases back, it works great for a number of free/commercial games.

Yes they still do, and fun fact, SummVM has integrated support for AGS a few releases back, so one of my favourite titles from Wadjet Eye Games, Unavowed, works great on a ton of different OSes/platforms.

I've played it on OpenBSD before!

The developer commentary in Unavowed also explains some of the technical challenges they had with using AGS.

Shamelessly, I have a low volume rss feed for my static-HTML articles, but I'm also using rss for the embedded mastodon feed on my website.

tmux was my first OpenBSD port, way back in 2008, albeit it was rather short-lived.

I had discovered it searching on SourceForge originally, but the tmux creator Nicholas Marriott was already an OpenBSD user and he took MAINTAINER for the port.

A year later, tmux was imported by nicm@ to the OpenBSD base system, where it has remained upstream for last 16 years (GitHub sync's from OpenBSD).

OpenBSD, static articles, microblogging, etc.

Can you find the Easter egg? Hint: "Praetorian"

Do you mind talking a bit how you attract sponsors? Is it through work? Talks? Online forums? Something else?


I'd like to hope my past work, and activity on social media/forums/mailing lists have been helpful in some way... although I admit I could probably do better. I haven't always been that good at self-promotion.

I'm sorry I don't have a better answer, unfortunately.

I finally get adopted by a nice family of sentient pizzas in 2026.
