Become a sponsor to Alyssa Ross
Hi! I work on Spectrum — a compartmentalized operating system; Nixpkgs; and various related things. I have a strong upstream-first development philosophy, so I'll often end up working on various other projects used by Spectrum too — Cloud Hypervisor, crosvm, COSMIC, and so on.
I'm trying to start doing programming streams regularly on https://live.qyliss.net/, which should make it easier to keep up with and learn about the work I'm doing.
Donations through GitHub Sponsors and Liberapay are most of my income, so support from people following my work is critical to enabling me to keep doing it.

SelectYou get a nice feeling about having supported your good friend Alyssa, the development of Nixpkgs and Spectrum, and the causes of free software and bringing secure desktop computing to more people.
More seriously, there’s a tier here just because GitHub Sponsors requires there to be one. It’s important to me that the benefits of my work are available to everybody, and so I won’t be publishing different tiers with special benefits. I’m not going to tell you how much you donate. You get exactly the same benefits without donating anything — that’s not why you should do it.
