My original thread is here: https://mastodon.social/@glyph/115453574272465088 but this is a cleaned-up and much shorter version for easier sharing with relevant details closer together.
As of this writing, a bit over 24 hours into this fundraiser, we are at $5832.94, which is 49.6% of the way through our current match.

Just updated the tally: we are now at $7296.19; or 60.8% of the way through our current match.

Have you been considering donating, but worried that we might be running out of space? Worry not! A new challenger appears! @Yhg1s has committed ANOTHER $5000 match, raising our total matching funds to $17,000, which (modulo a few additional receipts I need to process) means we are down to 43%.

5 days remain on this matching campaign, but sooner is better, $1.5MM is a lot to replace!

I seem to have really underestimated both the enthusiasm for the PSF's plight and my own popularity here

next time I do this I'm definitely going to come up with an accounting system that is not a manual linda-style tuplespace in a folder full of .png files

Now that the remaining PNG files have been manually OCR'd, the total stands as follows:
We've raised $9238.74 which is 54.3% of our $17000 total. Once again within 24h of a contributor joining the match we are over half full, but we all stand ready to be maxed out so please keep those donations coming!

Update for 2025-11-2: we are currently at $12047.97; 70.9% of the way through our $17000 matching fund. Max us out, folks. Keep it coming. The match will be computed on 11/4 AOE, so you still have a little time, but not THAT much!.
(I should note: if you've already given, please just share, don't give more to break your budget. This is a marathon and not a sprint, nobody should be skipping meals to fund open source security infrastructure.)

Since engagement on Mastodon seems to be slowing down a bit (no shade; there's been a big response, but our networks here are only so big) I tried going over to the Dark Side, to see if there's anyone I could reach there which I can't reach here. If you could boost it over there perhaps the malign spirit that animates its algorithm would be inclined to treat it more enthusiastically https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7390836171733585920/

Update 2025-11-03: thanks to the PSF's boost, we have now received $14622.43; 86.0% of our total match of $17000 . I am hopeful that we can close that 14% gap by tomorrow!

With only a few hours left to go, WE HAVE CROSSED THE FINISH LINE, and fully matched all $17,000! Here is a screenshot of my own match (as I said at the beginning, I was going to give $5000 regardless and $5000 to match, so this is the full $10k).

Everyone in Stranger Things is stupid now, and it's very annoying.

@tedchoward I historically very rarely ever need to look at giant files, but I guess I'm committing to doing this periodically, so I'll need to come up with a workflow that makes it easy...probably will have it fully automated at some point and not need to look at the actual data anymore, but for now, I need to check the shape of the data every now and then.
(If it's of any interest the files are from the Recreation.gov data set of all facilities in their database. https://ridb.recreation.gov/download )

I made this back in 2021. Turns out I can see the future. Kind of.

@tedchoward in this case, it's not really that it's a big file (though it is big), it's that it's a (really) big single line.
Every editor is able to load it without too much trouble when it's been pretty printed and spread across a half million lines. Though only Neovim (of those I tested) can parse it and do syntax highlighting and such. VS Code disables parsing and pops a warning, but to its credit search and editing does work.
But, when on a single line loading it crashes VS Code.

@swelljoe I keep a copy of BBedit on my Mac for the purpose of loading “large”text files.
Even vim will choke on a large file sometimes.

La Luna gattina invece, che ha il pelo cortissimo, ha deciso che il freddo è brutto, molto brutto, ma lei *deve* comunque uscire. Poi si ferma a due metri dalla porta e trema come una foglia fin che non la porto dentro. Le farò un cappottino 😄.
Tuffolo invece è pelosisissimo e dotato di una buna quantità di ciccetta, potrebbe sfidare le intemperie ma saggiamente preferisce il divano.
