Just donated. I run a NetBSD instance on a VPS and on an old Lenovo mini PC that I use as a gateway/file server between my regular network and network of vintage PCs. I have two XT clones, two ATs, some 486s, a Pentium MMX, and an iMac G3 and G4. Fun hobby! I need to get NetBSD running on one of these old machines one of these days.

Thanks a lot :)
Just donated to NetBSD foundation and one month ago to ReactOS project.

Keep up the good work guys!

Thanks for donations :)
Do any governments use NetBSD? If so, they should be the #1 name and shame.
I guess we're all complicit to <insert war crime> for using and developing software that anyone can use freely...
Why is it a war crime on here to suggest the governments, which want to aid the public interest, and have the capability in funding to keep these bedrock IT projects in good health fund them?

It's literally part of their national security. Open source operating systems are key to cyber security in addition to just plain old functioning of the military as well as the civilian government.

Yes, let's name and shame software users /s
