Today I sent Linux Slackware Money for Patrick Volkerding and perhaps others will do so too. #SlackwareBitTorrentOIDCLoRa I attach a trimmed screenshot to show how it was done. I included a message asking slackware to put SimpleSAMLphp (for setting up an OIDC and OAuth2 user registration server) on the distro CDROM ISO and an ability to enter a bittorrent magnet link of another Linux Distro (including another Slackware, be it newer or older to download and install instead or as well as the Slackware version on the ISO CDROM being installed), and a LoRa icon that works like the Wifi icon on the desktop of XFCE in Slackware. If you think about it, even if it took all day long, a LoRaWAN connection could just about send a trickle of data as a magnet-link for a linux distro ISO to a computer, ready to install when a wifi connection (presumably with internet) becomes available, capable of downloading that distro (maybe just be a 50MB DamnSmallLiunx Iso or a larger filesize slackware CDROM). So I have uploaded an image file to show how the money was sent so that, if other people wish to send their own money to Linux Slackware Money for Patrick Volkerding, they can see what to click.

The link to use Paypal for this is at this URL, below.

Sending Linux Slackware Money for Patrick Volkerding

Just to confirm this is the same volkerdi@slackware.com and volkerdi@gmail.com if you are looking for various donation methods (and please do see the forum link below).

As I used Paypal, I could add a message. Remember to keep such a paypal message half the size of the 'wordcount' shown in the screenshot. Whilst mentioning the Payapal donation transaction ID 243384911N127970H (to uniquely identify it to both the recipient and sender), I have also made a suggestion that slackware slackbook2 languages could be included on the slackware distro CDROM ISO such as via PDF now if they become available. On the translations slackbook slackware website, many languages links for that manual of slackbook are broken-links. I'd say for Slackware linux, create a translation of the slackbook manual in two (mutually intelligible) languages in Hanifi Rohingya script (Rohingya) Ruáingga and also Chittagonian (Bangladesh) চাটগাঁইয়া saṭgãia or চিটাইঙ্গা siʈaiŋga and English, French, portuguese, Hindu-Urdu sanskrit, Chinese (mandarin/unihan), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Indonesian sanskrit (e.g. pallava script), Russian, Cambodian-Thai Khmer language, Amharic Ethiopian, Swahili language. Obviously other languages like Dutch and German and so on can exist but these main languages cover the world in varius geographic areas and with differing alphabets and languages which can be understood by many as second language (for example like how most chinese people do not speak english as a 2nd language but there are so many chinese english speakers on account of the great many chinese people that the language stills gets good coverage over many a landmass). Portuguese and Spanish people can eventually understand each other (pretty much) if they listen hard and stick to mutually commonplace wordings each. Some Dutch people in Holland would understand something of the language of South Africa, eventually. Ironically of course, they'd probably both know somebody who speaks some part of english too. Elsewhere in blogging, I encourage the translation of slackbook into the languages of rohingya and chittagonian with the #slackbookrohingyachittagonian hashtag.

As I used Paypal, I could add a message. Here it is:

This payment is for: To support a later CDROM (number1 or number2 as the Live CD) ISO file release of slackware15 such as slackware15.1 which you'd make a torrent file for, here is $5 and to ask you to please put SimpleSAMLphp on the ISO file of that distro and for slackbuilds.org to also have SimpleSAMLphp, thereby making any Slackware CDROM (to HDD) installation (for i586 or amd64) easy to make into a OpenIDConnect (OIDC with OAuth2) server. Include easy LoRaWAN support too shown upon booting like the how a Wifi desktop icon is in XFCE, please. It would be cool (sort of like wubi.exe did but via rtorrent) to have slackware have a boot option to type in a magnet link of a linux distro and attempt to download it (via rj45 DHCP ethernet cat5 home router) in addition to slackware (e.g. kwort or fedora or debian or an older or newer slackware so as to have slackware install it instead or in addition, perhaps dumping it on a fat32 partition on the hdd temporarily and in SWAP space). Keep the distro under 700MB though. Might as well ask just in case you feel like putting these things into slackware 15.1 or 15.2 anyway. Well actually, I'm kind of hoping you'd become inspired to include these things in slackware just by reading this even if the notion is new to you. Also this is to say thanks for making slackware and I hope to encourage others to do a donation for this too. I often recommend slackware to people and have done for about two decades.Sending kind regards from the British Isles, from myself. I saw the forum post about the T-Shirts.My comment has no hate in it and I do no harm. I am not appalled or afraid, boasting or envying or complaining... Just saying. Psalms23: Giving thanks and praise to the Lord and peace and love. Also, I'd say Matthew6.

Pat actually refunded me this $5 and it seems the reason is because he thought it was an "assignment". So donated the $5 again on 23rd September 2023, via Transaction ID 0XK49451SK068444F.

(quote Pat) "Hi, thanks but I don't accept assignments such as this so I'm returning your gift. Best regards, Pat" Transaction ID: 3DK558321H901181B (end quote)

So I just want to make it clear that I DID manage to send him that $5 again after he had refunded it. That way I have made sure that slackware (Volkerding) has the $5 donation. I reckon the 'temporary' refund was on account of just some small confusion as to how the $5 was initially to be donated. If you donate by that paypal link, maybe write "This is not an assignment but just a donation for loving Slackware".

Tempting though, to send multiple small "donations" for small tasks he probably won't do. Maybe for washing the dishes or something. Totally don't do that of course (cough cough). But do donate though.

Today I sent the Gnome Foundation 5 Dollars (USD) and perhaps others will do so too. I included a message asking them to make a voxel game engine which uses OpenCL1.2 in Linux. #GnomeVoxelOpenCL So I have uploaded an image file to show how the money was sent so that, if other people wish to send their own money to GNOME Foundation, they can see what to click.

As an aside, later on 24 December 2022 (Christmas Eve), I donated £5 to DEC UK Paypal to help the Pakistan flood's Aid and I show how it can be done (and added free linux and HAM Radio learning tips).

As I used Paypal, I could add a message.

On 28 December 2022 in time for 2023 New Year, I donated £12 to IRC, International Rescue committee, and here is how I did it, linked below.

Upon donating 5 USD to Gnome, I wrote this, and perhaps they will like it.

" Please make a FLOSS (Free Libre Open Source Software) voxel graphics game engine for Linux in OpenCL1.2 (thereby compatible with RaspberryPi3b upwards and an Intel or AMD64 PC with at least a Radeon HD6450 GPU or Nvidia GT710 using nouveau drivers) some ability to integrate with GTK4 and GTK5 (python3 or C++) and encourage members of the public to write games for it. Gallium3D would be able to use it. It would also be great to then see GNOME Web run those games so that the browser has this thing it can do which other browsers probably cannot do. By donating this money, I foresee that others will do so likewise, to some degree. Love from ... "

Perhaps people who add a reference when paying via Credit Card might add their small text reference as "VoxelOpenCL" and just kind of hope the GNOME Foundation see their money they have sent is for that purpose. Either that, or including the Transaction ID of "82942369JB079011H" might let them know. Using the hashtag #GnomeVoxelOpenCL might also spread the idea. It would be cool of the GNOME Web Browser did a thing other browsers don't do (like this), thereby giving people a specific reason to use it even if it does not have full compatibility with other websites. the OpenCL voxel Game engine would be a thing on its own too though, even if a person were not using the GNOMe Web Browser. It is just kind of a cool idea that the GNOME Web browser would also be able to run such OpenCL1.2 voxel engine games. It is the theme of heterogenous computing. Such a game engine could be used for other things too such as basic medical imaging or mapping of 3D landscapes such as conversion of stereoscopic photos into 3D graphics models , like say the inside of the Mexico Coahuila state coal mine were the 10 miners became trapped. That is the sort of low cost (£15 per pizero2w) technical prepping that could have mapped what was going on down the mine in advance, thereby also sending communication to pizero2w SBCs hung with their camera and battery like lamps on coal-mine "walls", forming a wifi mesh network and linking to ethernet RJ45 cable running up to the surface to a building or caravan where a small server (another Pizero2W or Ryzen SBC) constantly monitoring the sights and sounds of the coal mine or cave. The Rj45 ethernet cable would be better since it work probably still work under water in a flood whereas wifi is more a sort of "added extra".

I only just sent this. I have not heard from GNOME Foundation and so it is not a GoFundMe or crowd funding effort. It is instead a 5 Buck Paypal payment with some text I wrote in it. Maybe that will do the trick.

In my opinion to be helpful, the LibreWolf (Mozilla Fork) browser could have done with a Gallium3D style engine in it and so it would help a VM by throwing loads of CPU cores and RAM at it, even if it resulted in it feeling like a HD6450 GPU. It would be a way of OpenCL running in a browser. #GnomeOpenCL #SendGnomeMoney #Gnome #GnomeFoundation #OpenCL #Voxel #Voxels #Paypal #GnomeVoxelOpenCL
