Austin, TX

My projects include:

  • mergerfs: a featureful union filesystem used by many a data hoarder
  • 3do-devkit: a homebrew development suite for the 3DO game console
  • libfuse: the reference FUSE library for Linux and BSD systems (co-maintainer)
  • scorch: a tool to help with indexing of filesystems and discovering bitrot
  • bbf: a low level hard drive bad block detector and fixer
  • Opera: a 3DO emulator for RetroArch/libretro (hard fork of 4DO)
  • Other 3DO projects: 3it (3DO Image Tool), 3dt (3DO Disc Tool), new video decoder, etc.
  • other misc things https://github.com/trapexit

I don't know that I'll ever be able to live off the sponsorship of my projects but it does go a long way to helping me keep on top of them and feel like users are getting value from them. It helps me justify the time spent supporting the projects as well as pay for services and hardware used in creating them.

If you are a non-commercial user and find my software and its support valuable and would like to support the project financially it would be very much appreciated.

If you are using my software commercially please consider sponsoring the project to ensure it continues to be maintained and receive updates. If custom features are needed feel free to contact me directly.

I really don't know what perks or incentives I could offer in the tiers so please reach out with suggestions.

@trapexit

It's not likely my projects will bring in enough supporters for me to work on them full time but it's nice to have a goal and move in that direction.
