Jeff Geerling is one of my favorite public figures (I’m not sure how far or if I’m stretching the definition of public). I keep meaning to subscribe to his patreon, I mean that’s the least I could do - I think he’s the only creator I consume the content of on 4+ platforms. And occasionally he shows up here too. I just love the sheer “making things” energy, and all the open work he does.

If there was, say, a Patreon equivalent that was just a static site that displayed an address to send weird or excess hardware, cash, etc to, that would be so ideal!

Same, I read everything he writes. I remember reading a bunch of his stuff when I was getting into ansible, and then all his Pi stuff especially when CM4 came out. It's a strange sort of parasocial relationship but for nerds!

Strongly agree for the same reasons. I don’t subscribe to his stuff for any particular niche, I just enjoy the “this is a thing I am going to learn lots about and make a video”.
