I've run this website for a over a decade and looks like donations are just not a thing. People happily click Google ads though so at least there's something. Something which garners around $50 a ... year.

This is just random comments on the internet so take with large pinch of salt

Your site seems to provide a interesting set of views and importantly a evidence / research based set of views. I can imagine there being 50 questions (which DE uses most memory in VM, which config settings can minimise windows footprint) - essentially best practise settings for mid sized installations.

Monetising that might be tricky, but building an audience of people who have that problem set is building an audience of people with problems and money.

Personally I am just revamping my personal docker workstation and just use XFCE because ... I might have a rethink thanks to you.

I couldnt find a donation link/btc address/anything on the site, and I looked :/ might not be such a bad idea! you can always ask for btc donations, or something, at least.

The very top of your page is a big ad - if that was an inoffensive "support the author and this work", it might get you more than that top ad does

BTC donation button was posted for two years - zero people donated.

And if we're talking about hard cash, nothing for Russia works nowadays AFAIK. Patreon certainly doesn't work: https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/4553920132877-...
