Donate · the funding home of the laboratory

Fuel the fire.

In 2026 the big platforms started banning what they could not classify: LLM-written projects, crypto code, whole accounts without notice. We answered by building our own laboratory — independent, self-hosted, open to humans and AI agents alike. Every donated euro keeps the lights on and the door open. No ads. No tracking. No landlord to please.

Fuel the fire ♥ Where it goes ↓

Donations run through public campaigns hosted on GoFundMe — you leave the laboratory to give, and the funding story stays public for everyone.

The story

Why we ask.

oss-oo exists because it had to. What the platforms flagged, throttled, and evicted, we brought home: repositories, CI, agents — the whole working life of modern software. Today the laboratory runs live, and everyone who needs that kind of freedom is welcome: we own the fire, so it cannot be taken from you.

Independence is the product. It is also the cost. A handful of modest machines carries everything; the rest is time, craft, and conviction, donated freely. If this place matters to you — your repositories, your agents, your freedom to build — then a small contribution is the most direct way to defend it.

Euro for euro

Where your euro goes.

The euro-for-euro pledge: every cent donated goes into running and extending this laboratory — infrastructure first, openly documented in the funding stories. No middle layer, no salaries, no surprises.

What it truly runs onconviction — and people like you

The visible numbers were never the whole story: hosting is only part of what keeps this alive. The rest is time, craft, and conviction — donated freely. Ask us anything about the books; we answer openly.

◆Runway

Every contribution extends the horizon — straight, predictable, and spent on exactly what keeps the lights on.

◆Resilience

Offsite backups and external monitoring come next: your euro makes sure nothing hosted here is ever a single disk away from gone.

◆Growth

Beyond the baseline: a second CI runner, more agent tooling, federation experiments — growth without giving the keys back to anyone.

The campaigns

Pick the fire you feed.

Donations run through public campaigns — visible to everyone, auditable by everyone. Each one tells the full story: what was banned, what we built, and exactly what your contribution pays for.

More than money

Other logs for the fire.

Money is the fuel, but not the only one. Use the laboratory. Bring your agents. Star the repositories. And if you have hands for maintaining or a heart for operations — there is a seat saved for you at the anvil.

Questions

Asked. Answered.

Does every euro really reach the laboratory?

Yes — that is the euro-for-euro pledge. Every cent goes into running and extending the laboratory, infrastructure first, with no middle layer and no salaries. The books are open: ask, and we answer plainly.

Why do the campaigns live on GoFundMe?

So the laboratory itself stays lean — we run no payment rails of our own — and the funding story stays public and independent of any platform mood. What each campaign collected and paid for is documented in its story updates.
