I was going to announce it a bit later and more properly, but Mastodon received a $70k grant from Samsung NEXT through OpenCollective. I intend to make it available to those who contribute to the project, and have already notified some of the most regular contributors. The way OpenCollective works is that anyone can submit an expense and all transactions are listed transparently. It also holds the money.
As for myself, I intend to continue using Patreon for my own wage/costs.
I spend my free time auditing code, publishing FOSS security tools, and tracking down accidentally exposed credentials. This helps keep a small corner of the Internet safe. Support my efforts by backing me via Patreon => https://www.patreon.com/user?u=16402577

New home page design After years of getting around to it, I have redesigned my home page at artificialworlds.net.
It's basically intended to make me look clever or productive or interesting or something. Alternatively, it gives you somewhere to find that thing you know I made but can't find the link:
