While I&#8217;ve had some research grants in the past, right now nobody is subsidizing the infrastructure work I do and I&#8217;m burning my savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s NTPsec, of course &#8211; secure time synchronization is critical to the Internet. There are the 40 or so <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catb.org\/esr\/software.html\">other projects<\/a> I maintain.  Recently I&#8217;m working on improving the tools ecosystem for the Go language, because to reduce defect rates we have got to lift infrastructure like NTPsec out of C and Go looks like the most plausible path.  Right now I&#8217;m modifying Flex so it can be be retargetable to emit Go (and other languages); I expect to do Go support for Bison next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m not the only person deserving of your support &#8211; I&#8217;ve founded the <a href=\"http:\/\/loadsharers.org\">Loadsharers<\/a> network for people who want to help with the more general infrastructure-support problem &#8211; but if you&#8217;re a regular on this blog I hope I&#8217;m personally relatively high on your priority list.  I&#8217;m not utterly broke yet, but the prospect is looming over me and my house needs a new roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even $10 a month is helpful if enough of you match it.  For $20 a month you get to be credited as a supporter when I ship a release of one of my personal projects. From $50 a month I can buy my long-suffering wife a nice dinner and afford an occasional trip to the shooting range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I live a simple life, trying to be of service to my civilization.
