Furthermore, looking at almost 26k GitHub stars for this repository, if only about 14% of the people who this resource is useful for, sponsored me with a one time amount of a single Euro, I could order a new machine that probably lasted me another eight years. It's not something I'd expect, nor think I should. It's entirely my issue.
It's unseemly that people have to beg like this. I would be happy to pay a small annual Github subscription if it were distributed back to repo maintainers. Same thing with all the 'buy me a coffee' tags and now the 'buy me a slice of pizza' ones. Instead of funding useful bodies of work with meaningful micro-grants you have projects competing to provide people with better cups to rattle.
