Eric "ESR" Raymond, perhaps best known for

Sex Tips For Geeks [catb.org] and (ironically)
Surprised By Wealth [slashdot.org] has
set up [ibiblio.org] a
patreon page [patreon.com].
"The background to this is that while I’m now getting some regular bucks for working on NTPsec [ibiblio.org], it’s not a lot. Royalties from my books have been dwindling and my wife Cathy isn’t making all that much from legal contract gigs that are all she can get since Obamacare costs killed her full-time law job. Add the fact that our eight-year-old car has developed problems that would cost more to fix than its book value, and the house needs a new roof, and it’s looking pretty broke out."
