Love rclone. IIRC for years the donation page said something along the lines of "rclone is a labor of love and I don't need your money, but if you'd like to help me buy my wife some flowers that would be greatly appreciated."

Just seems like a cool dude. Glad to see he's able to do it full time now, and hope it's still as fulfilling.

EDIT: Thanks to archive.org I found it[0]. Even more wholesome than I remembered:

> Rclone is a pure open source for love-not-money project. However I’ve had requests for a donation page and coding rclone does take me away from something else I love - my wonderful wife.

> So if you would like to send a donation, I will use it to buy flowers (and other pretty things) for her which will make her very happy.
