The first thing is to remind both of us, not just you, that we’re getting old. I notice it more and more when I see how difficult it is for me to get a new job. Where I am is rubbish and my skills are becoming devalued. I’m taking courses about new skills, but it’s not the same.
Finally, I’d like to remind you that, given the culture you grew up in, you don’t see that when something can’t stand on its own, it’s always at risk. If Git needs a paid VPS, then it will be a problem in the future. I’ve always done things that can be deployed on any free platform, even common and limited ones.
A house is for sleeping, eating, and resting; it doesn’t produce anything. A business like a bakery, on the other hand, is sustainable because, as in the case of the Chinese bakery, it serves both as a place to produce goods and as a place to sleep, eat, and rest.
The git repos were a big idea.. I wanted to create a kind of store where each Git repository’s root directory would be used as a direct package – an easy way to leverage something, but its potential was never realized. Now i will said you all never understand the reality.
I just don’t understand how you [of] all people don’t see that users love to view things online and on their phones. MEdiawiki is the example of a place that (luanti wiki or [the Minetest wiki]) users don’t like!
I recently checked #multicraft changes.. [they] only removed older protocol, and minimal api references. first one only at client side. and later dropped the ability to server 0.4 layer compatibility.

First, let’s find out which of my email accounts work to reach you. I’ll send 3 copies of this email. Tell me which copies arrived successfully.

this !All right.
Mckaygerhard, email regularly and also confirm receipt of emails from me. It’s important to confirm email, because email is unreliable.
First, I’m quite aware of my age.
My greatest concern is that I need to complete a few projects and be sure that they’ll still exist, in the sense of being available and seen by people who they might help, after I’m gone.
I don’t want to fall down one day and realize, this is it, but the decades of work aren’t out there, it’ll all just disappear. ⚰️
Movies have monsters. Monsters aren’t frightening. I mean, sure, if a hungry dinosaur 🦖ℝ𝕒𝕨𝕣 or multi-dimensional clown 🤡 is chasing you, you should run. However, what I’ve just described, that is frightening.
It’ll help your mental state to be in communication with people. I can confirm this based on experience. ☎️
This has been a dramatic year on my side, too. My response has been to do two things:
N1. I have a TODO list. I try to work every day on the list. When I see that I’ve made progress, this is helpful. Of course, there is nothing that I can do about some things but wait and see what happens.
N2. Most friends, either online or in real life, are dead or gone. 💀 I try to communicate either lightly or seriously with people, regardless. It’s best to not feel isolated.
How reliable is your Internet? Would you like to try talking in video chat? This would use my own Jitsi server. It should work by desktop, laptop, or smartphone. If it’s a desktop or laptop, it would need to have a working camera and phone.
We’re located in different timezones, but I’m often available around the clock with limited breaks for sleep.
I understand that the last 7 months have been transitional for you as well as for me. We were both essentially homeless. If you have housing now 🏚️ explain further what will happen now moving forward.
Regards, Robert (the Old Coder)

[VOOM!]
"AAAAAAAH!"
"Please do not be afraid. We've teleported you to our realm to talk to you."
"AAAAAAAAH!"
"As I said, do not be afraid."
"AAAAAAAAH!"
"DO... NOT... BE... AFRAID! DO... YOU... UNDERSTAND?"
"AAAAAAAH!"
"[ZAP!!!] Computer, record the following: I had to terminate subject 393328 because they did not understand the directive to not be afraid. This universal lack of understanding is quite perplexing. At any rate, I'm now going to bring in subject 393329 and try again."
[VOOM!]
"AAAAAAAH!"
