I have 100 euros a month to donate to open source projects. Do you think its better to donate more to fewer projects or less to more projects? (sh.itjust.works)

Personally, I donate less to more projects. But, if you don't have a strong opinion of what to donate to, you can get the best of both worlds by donating to NLnet.

They fund open source projects up and down the stack, from open source CPUs all the way up to applications like Lemmy, and everything in between. Some are quite speculative and others are tangible improvements to existing projects.

Okay, the CPU sounds really interesting. I wonder how this could be manufactured.

Turns out, there are companies that will do that for you for money.
