This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
everything the US gov helps funds now has a question mark over whether it'll still be here in 4 years...
Four years? Boy, you are optimistic
tbf to the US they fund an absolute ton of things, eg. I didn't realise they helped fund lets encrypt and now the CVE database either, I assume it'll be a drip feed of things being cancelled slowly over time as they find them all
What % of its GDP does the Netherlands have to put into international aid to make seventh place?!
7.4 billion, which is around 0.7% of GDP. 0.66% of GNI.
For comparison, the US might win out on pure billions (~65), but compared to the size of the economy, it uses a whopping 0.24% of the GNI on foreign aid, a figure that is almost certainly going to drop in the near future.
The US traditionally has funded quite a few "for the good of the world" programs and aid. At least until recently. Thats a good graph.
The new overloads can't be having with any of that Helping People nonsense. Not for free, anyway.
It looks like just the UK, France and Germany combined already add up to more aid with a combined GDP that’s much lower than the US. These kinds of graphs give a distorted picture due to the high population and GDP that the US has.

This shit seems to change by the minute.
It won't be here next year, but it won't be here in four years too.
thank you mitch hedberg :P
I’m don’t trust any .gov sites anymore. If I’m researching and I see that it’s a government site, I move on. I can’t trust that info.
The whole thing is scary
You can kinda trust them if you use an archived version of it from before.
OMG I've been motherfucking looking for this EUVD for the past weeks and only found references and info pages, but never the actual fucking database!! Finally I know it exists.
Why is it hidden? Why does it have that braindead URL? And why, for the love of god, does it have a separate numbering scheme?!
Why does it have that braindead URL?
euvd.enisa.europa.eu -> European Union Vulnerability Database, run by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (from the previous name, European Network and Information Security Agency ENISA), hosted on the official website of the european union, europa.eu.
And why, for the love of god, does it have a separate numbering scheme?!
Because they want the ability to reference other vulnerability sources - like JVN - and not just CVE:
The EUVD service builds upon the CVE system and vulnerabilities in the scope of the CVE numbering service receive a CVE. In addition, the EUVD data aggregates and enriches the vulnerability information and lists an EUVD ID on top of the CVE when new vulnerability entries are created. To allow further cross referencing, the CVE identifier and additional vulnerability identifiers are listed when available. -https://euvd.enisa.europa.eu/faq
And because, you know, standards.
I can only assume the stories about CVE have pushed it to the top but I just search "European vulnerability database" and first link went to the database.
Could it be a good candidate for federation? There's already a few naming standards that would allow a bit of a common ground. And maybe eliminate a few of the big points of failure.
Distributed hosting isn't really a problem here, its distributed funding for the staff.
Im sure DOGE will replace it with a more efficient way for the government to track all of the bugs its computers might be vulnerable to...
…and then send them directly to Putin's cyberwarfare unit.
