Join the Nerd Club!
Hello, I'm Jacob Kauffmann. Here at Nerd on the Street, I make videos using freedom-respecting and open-source software (and often demonstrating that software, too!)
In the course of twelve years, I've created over 900 videos, and spread information about free & open-source tools to over six million viewers. You can help ensure my entire catalog of videos stays online and help me acquire resources to make more videos, all by joining the Nerd Club!
All three options are priced the same; choose whichever one you prefer!
Member Benefits:
While I don't like to put my normal content behind any paywalls, I do offer a few exclusive benefits to Nerd Club members:
- Ad-free website: Browse all NOTS content on this website without any third-party advertisements!
- Livestream DVR: View recordings of past NOTS livestreams!
- Members-only areas: Access the exclusive Nerd Club chat room and forum!
- Discord role: Stand out as a supporter on the NOTS Discord server!
- Exclusive content: Watch behind-the-scenes clips and vlogs for an inside look at my productions!
- Merch: I may occasionally send out free merchandise, such as DVDs of the productions you helped sponsor!
- Credits: See your NOTS username (or regular name) in the credits of my tech videos!
Are my videos worth $3/month to you? By supporting me, you'd be making a big difference in both my life and the free software movement.
My Goals:
Self-sustaining servers: At this level, all NOTS infrastructure will be completely funded by the Nerd Club! This means my content can stay online forever (or as long as your support lasts.)
Rewards: This reward was previously reached in April of 2020, and later that year, I created an official NOTS IRC server to celebrate!
Right tools for the job: At this level, I'll be able to afford professional-level equipment to improve the production value of my videos.
Rewards: When this goal is reached, I'll produce Life on Linux: Season 3, a complete video guide for making the switch to GNU/Linux!
We currently have 18 Patreon members and 2 pre-paid members.
