And to you. ;)

By the way, Marek Novotny asked me to say "hi" to yourself, to Jonathan
and to Bit Twister. ;)

Really? Since absence rumored of his death. If not true then wish him
well and health and that he is missed. I've lost too many friends this
past year...covid is real.

Merry Christmas all.

Take care,

Same here, glad to know Marek Novotny is still around.

He's alive and well, but he has completely abandoned Usenet after
having been stalked for years by a number of psychotic trolls from
comp.os.linux.advocacy. As such, he locked down his domain, changed his
email address, and basically went into hiding.

He also doesn't really have anything to do with GNU/Linux anymore — the
company he works for uses (and has always used) Apple — and he either
sold or gave away most of his IT-related equipment. He is now more or
less maintaining the strategy that if he can't take his belongings with
him in just a few suitcases, then he doesn't need them anymore.

I lost my sister this year, albeit not to covid — it was actually far
more tragic than that. And yes, covid is real — I myself have had two
covid infections in 2020, six months apart, almost literally down to the
day — but I chose not to get vaccinated because of my autoimmune
issues. I do however respect and observe all of the regulations, and I
rarely ever go out the door anymore anyway.

Right now, the omicron variant is running rampant over here. A few
weeks ago, we had one, then two, then ten cases in just a matter of
days, and right now, 60% of all covid infections over here are due to
the omicron variant.

Mass vaccinations alone aren't going to stop it, and the governments
are foolish to believe that it'll do the job. Just as important are
self-discipline and hygiene, and most people have less of either one
than they believe they do.

I consistently notice, every time I go to the supermarket, that I'm
virtually the only one who disinfects his hands and his kart at the
entrance, as prescribed on a big board right at the entrance of the
supermarket. While I am busy wiping my kart with alcohol and
disinfecting my hands, everyone else just passes me by and walks right
in.

And social distance is a joke too. People pass you by shoulder to
shoulder. They just don't give a damn, except for themselves. But
then again, what else is new? <rolling eyes>

> Merry Christmas all.
And from myself as well. :)

Awesome. I am so glad that he is OK!

Another great Christmas gift!

You posted a msg in a.o.l 2019 Dec 19 about Marek's departure in which
you mentioned that he had given you his scripts. At that time you
didn't know where you might post them.

I don't know if you ever found such a parking place, but I would be
interested in seeing or having such as his VPN scripts. When he was
working on it, I gave him some feedback he recognized along w/ that of
others in his comments section. Over the years I've done some
searching, but there has been so much MN flak that pollutes the
searching that I've been unsuccessful.

If email would be convenient for you, you can use nntp.nym <at>
gmail.com for me.

I had, but unfortunately, that was a small amount of free web space at
my ISP, which they have now discontinued, after having offered that to
their customers for over 20 years.

For now, I have parked his scripts on my Google Drive. Maybe I'll be
able to share them with you that way. I'll have to look into it later.

It would be nice to see a git hub page and a few here whom perform
upkeep. And then the group could contribute to various things
therein and group approval would result in incorporation into
whatever "thing" from "therein" was being tweaked upon.

Call it...

The Dark Crystal...

Iiii!

Mike, I've added you as a viewer. You should get a notification about
that when you log into Google.
