I'm told that there are people claiming to "tokenize" my git repositories with my approval.

I just want to clarify that that is not the case. I do not believe in monetizing my repositories.

If you believe crypto-currencies are anything but a scam, I have a bridge to sell you.

But I'm not selling source code.

Segment Concentration Risk
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​

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.

Encrypted Btrfs storage setup and maintenance guide

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.

Create keyfile:

dd bs=64 count=1 if=/dev/urandom of=/etc/cryptkey iflag=fullblock
chmod 600 /etc/cryptkey

Useful Examples of ffmpeg and GNU parallel on the command-line:

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.

parallel 'ffmpeg -v 0 -i "{}" -c:a libopus -b:a 128k "{.}.opus"' ::: $(find -type f -name '*.flac')

Transcoding Videos to VP9:

This is gist. 
There are many like it, but this one is mine. 
It is my life. 
I must master it as I must master my life. 
Without me gist is useless. 
Without gist, I am useless.
