GitHub Sponsors Profile

Hi, I wrote open source software since around 1998. My contributions over the years include Redis, Hping, Dump1090, the Linenoise line editing library, the Disque message broker (and the module version released recently), and many other things. Currently I'm sponsored in order to do my work on Redis, but not for the other side projects, that I do in my free time. So as I continue to be sponsored, anything I earn in this program, I will just donate to other OSS projects that I like. However OSS is key in my life, and I want to understand if in the future it would be possible to sustain myself just having a direct relationship with the users of my software.
