RE: Is Ernest still here? (media.kbin.social)

I check in here quite often, but for now, I'm just focusing on clearing spam and keeping the instance alive. In January, I was working on the AP module, and there has been significant progress in the work, which hasn't been publicly published yet. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the year, I developed a skin condition that worsened from week to week, reaching a point where I couldn't even leave the house. In February, I spent my time visiting doctors and undergoing treatment with medications, which often had very unpleasant side effects. Therefore, I decided to hold off on any major updates to avoid causing even more chaos. Today, I've undergone one procedure, and I have another one scheduled for Thursday, which I hope will be the last.

Just because it's not visible that something is happening doesn't mean I haven't been doing anything during this time. In fact, two really significant things have been successful, which I've been working on for a long time and which I intended to announce soon once I recover.

This weekend, I also plan to work on infrastructure with Piotr, and from next week onwards, I intend to resume committing, provided my health allows it. I understand if you're exploring alternatives, but I hope I've exhausted my bad luck limit for this year, and the remaining time will be marked by gradual, steady progress, especially since new opportunities have emerged, about which I will hopefully write soon.

Thank you very much for the communications! We were worried about you

Unfortunately, at the beginning of the year, I developed a skin condition that worsened from week to week, reaching a point where I couldn't even leave the house. In February, I spent my time visiting doctors and undergoing treatment with medications, which often had very unpleasant side effects.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope things will turn well in the end. I wish you the best outcome.

Therefore, I decided to hold off on any major updates to avoid causing even more chaos.

Yes please. First thing is your health. For me and for many people the site is still good as it is, we can wait a little more.

Just because it's not visible that something is happening doesn't mean I haven't been doing anything during this time.

This is exactly the thing that some people need to understand. The best proof is that the site is still on and working.

In fact, two really significant things have been successful, which I've been working on for a long time and which I intended to announce soon once I recover.

And I will be waiting to see them.

This weekend, I also plan to work on infrastructure with Piotr, and from next week onwards, I intend to resume committing, provided my health allows it.

Good. But again, don't neglect your health. We don't want you to overwork yourself and end up worsening your health.

I always read your posts and, although I don't always comment, you seem to be a good person. You are going through a difficult time, don't let some bad comments affect you. I have been here since a little before the great migration and, with all the problems that there were, I saw all the effort you put into getting us to where we are now. That is not something that goes unnoticed. I'm going to continue here for everything that comes, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks the same.

Get well soon.
