Nonprofit fundraising is often heavily skewed toward a small number of large donors. Sector-wide data show an extreme Pareto distribution: for example, donors giving over $5,000 represented only about 1.8% of the donor pool but contributed roughly 73% of all donation dollars in early 2023 nonprofitpro.com
. Conversely, micro donors (<$100) and small donors ($101–$500) made up over 88% of donors but only around 10% of total contributions

. This imbalance means many organizations are highly reliant on mid-level and major donors, raising concerns about financial stability if those donors reduce or cease giving. Recent trends have exacerbated this risk: overall donor counts have been declining (especially among small donors), even as total dollars have risen due to big gifts. In 2022, the number of donors dropped over 7%, driven largely by steep declines in small donors, while total fundraising dollars increased ~6%, buoyed by major gifts

# Maximizing AV1 decoding speed: a modern 2022 encoding and decoding guide!
Hello. I've decided to share a lot more of my knowledge in public forums from now on, and to not divert any of my focus away from improving the world in a way that stays written in history.
This Gist is about discussing on how to improve AV1 decoding performance on 2 fronts: improving performance through more efficient decoding, and through decoding aware encoding.
Improving decoding performance through more efficient decoding.
Here are many tips on how to improve decoding performance on any machine:

An attempt to make Windows 10/11 work for me by customizing/personalizing it
Why gist not dotfiles?
I use dotfiles to personalize *nix
type of machines. But I'm new to personalizing Windows 10. So I'm collecting
information here first before adding these to the dotfiles. I'm not sure if
these will ever move to dotfiles though.
Note that packages often have a series of optdepends - optional dependencies - which are packages that provide additional functionality to the application, albeit not strictly required for running it. When installing a package, pacman will list its optional dependencies among the output messages, but they will not be found in pacman.log: use the pacman -Si (see Querying package databases) command to view the optional dependencies of a package, together with short descriptions of their functionality.
⚠️ Partial upgrades are not supported 69
Installing specific packages
To install a single package or list of packages (including dependencies), issue the following command:

Initial setup with LUKS/dm-crypt
This exemplary initial setup uses two devices /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc but can be applied to any amount of devices by following the steps with additional devices.
Some snippets you can quickly adapt for use with FFmpeg and GNU Parallel for use for standard tasks.

Transcoding FLAC music to Opus:
ffmpeg is a highly useful application for converting music and videos. However, audio transcoding is limited to a a single core. If you have a large FLAC archive and you wanted to compress it into the efficient Opus codec, it would take forever with the fastest processor to complete, unless you were to take advantage of all cores in your CPU.
