Who's still here in the big year 2026?
I'm still around... in spirit. I don't get up to much with computers these days. Pretty overwhelmed with work and life and general existential dread. I do start to get little cravings to do creative computery things from time to time like I often did during the COVID days, but it is hard to find the time and energy to pursue anything.
I took over as admin at republic.circumlunar.space a few years back, and I think that partly stalled my joy of pubnices. The reason being that I am a distracted and unattentive admin, so I feel as if I should take care of business before I can comfortably just inhabit the pubnix/tildeverse world as another user. Same old story: no time and energy.
I was surprised to see how quiet things have gotten. I suppose that means I am part of the "problem." In the COVID days I was often behind a computer and had the headway to casually chat in IRC etc. Nowadays I still do most of my work at a computer, but I am overworked and spread too thin to spare much attention.
Anyway, enough rambling. Just wanted to pop in and say hey since I have been dormant for so long.
Hope all is well with you folks in this very odd timeline we live in.
