you can check on ffmpeg.org (it updated as soon as i committed).

"on their own" -> "in their own" was fixed. thank you.

"for their support" -> "for your support" was not.

just my personal choice, as now the sentence kind of reads as a general
"everyone should thank telepoint/mediahub for this donation" instead of
a "we thank telepoint/mediahub for this donation". more of a community
thank you? i dunno. maybe it should be "thanks TO telepoint and ..."
instead.

if i was going to fix something else i'd probably change this as well:
"donated a dedicated server with free of charge internet connectivity."
to "donated a dedicated server and bandwidth."

i am a native english speaker , but years of helping non-native english
speakers has warped my comprehension. so now if i think the sentence
conveys the required information, i will just leave it alone. :)

otherwise hours and hours get spent on spelling and grammar and it
drains motivation to work on other things.
