Sponsoring

Do you think it is important to investigate and archive Russia's invasion into Ukraine?
What about exposing their lies and staged videos to fool the world?
What about geolocating and analysing all information that comes on social media to figure out what's valuable and what not?
Or what about gathering all information we can find about MH17?

Please help me to keep doing this. You can donate using any of these buttons:

for a single donation for monthly subscription

When you live in Ukraine, DO NOT DONATE. Ukraine needs your money more than I do. (Unless you are an oligarch of course... :P)

Thank you for your participation!

Who wants to help me buy a NAS server?

As you all may know as a standard procedure I download almost all videos I discuss.

Right now I have a 2 Terabyte RAID disk in my computer and 3 1-Terabyte external drives:


It's not critical yet, but I need more storage and if one of these external harddisks fails, I will loose all that info.

So I need to buy a good NAS server with LOOOTS of space... :D
That will cost some 800 euros. I haven't made my mind up yet about the exact brand and type though.

You may have noticed that I recently started using my Youtube channel too. Either as a backup for really important and disappeared videos or for videos I made myself.

I use the complete Adobe suite (mostly Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects). Here you can see what monthly costs there are for this software alone...



Your one-time donation will help me to buy the equipment I need to do the work I do.


Your monthly subscription will help me to cover the costs I have.
Right now I dedicate 50% or more of my time (and like 80% of my free time) to this cause.





When you live in Ukraine, PLEASE DO NOT DONATE. There are hundreds of other and better ways you can help the people of your country. I inform Western people about what is going on. Let THEM contribute to this :D.

When I have enough money to buy the NAS-server, I will publish a picture here of what I have bought.

Thanks all.


UPDATE 21-1
Fantastic! The money for the NAS is in. I have already looked into what I want. Soon I will buy one and let you guys know what it is.

I will send all sponsors a thank-you-note shortly too :D.

Meanwhile everybody else may continue to support me and my work here of course.


UPDATE 24-1
I wanted to write earlier, but too much has been going on...

The server is installed!




I am VERY happy with it. Busy transferring all material to it now.
And as a THANK YOU to all who contributed, I give you an EXCLUSIVE look at my work environment :D :


That's where and how I follow the news, photoshop images, download and edit videos... etcetera.

And yes, I downloaded a LOT of videos today, for viewing and archiving...

And you may continue to support my work of course.

Who wants to help me buy Panorama Maker 6.0

Arcsoft has a nice little program that can make Panorama photos out of video. See http://www.arcsoft.com/panorama-maker/

It takes the video as a source, you can select an in and out point and then it calculates one picture out of it, merging the different frames into one big photo.

I downloaded the trial version and used it several times already:




It is a real timesaver, because the alternative is to manually copy a lot of different screenshots into photoshop and run the scripts there to align and blend them.

It is essential for geolocating to have a clear image of the environment. When people record events with mobile phones, often the field of view is very narrow. To be able to quickly make a panorama photo from that footage helps tremendously to geolocate it.

For instance, take a look at this:



The field of view is so narrow that it is hard to see where this is. It is a pain to Photoshop a clear picture from this. It's half a minute with the software...


My trial version has expired now. I would like to buy the software. I am doing this as a volunteer. Who wants to help me buy it? It's 80 dollars. You little contribution will make it possible.

You can use the Paypall donate button at the upper right side and give 'Panorama Maker' as a comment.

Thank you :D.


Your (twitter) name and contribution will appear here below (if you want to) to show how you helped:

Ott M. - 5 euro
Lukasz R. - 10 euro
Mykhailo T. - 5 euro
Nigel G - 20 euro
Anton - 15 euro
Ludmila P. - 30 euros
Oleksandr K. - 20 euros

Ok, the amount is in. Thanks al lot! I bought the software. Don't need more.
But you may always buy me a beer of course ;-).
