#3Messages like these are so sad to read. The world will never realize how many people are working tirelessly behind the scenes to keep society moving forward.
Cheers to all of the silent (and sometimes not so silent) people that continue to give of themselves to make this world a more wonderful place in their own little way. You all are awesome and we literally couldn't go on with our way of life without you.

#4A tragic message.
> I have been dealing with cancer for some time and sadly the treatment has not worked. My life expectancy is now fairly short.
I'm not sure what to say in response, since I don't know Roy. Though the prognosis is bad, nothing is certain. I hope he and his family gets as much time as possible.

#5Wow! If I were in a similar situation, I don't think I would have the strength to think about the future of my projects.
Such a sad message.

The blog post mentions one person at the clinic he's being treated at has lived for 7 years on this treatment. Although the median is much lower, unfortunately :(
Very sad to hear, even though (especially because?) I have never heard of Roy before now but have used dhcpcd for many years. I hope he gets as much time as possible, and enjoys what he has left.

Besides, having a tumor during the pandemic is particularly unfortunate as the standard of care has degraded mostly everywhere. Sadly, I know first hand.
I hope he gets as much time as possible. Immunotherapies are improving all the time.

#8Fuck cancer :(
I don’t know Roy but feel so sorry for him and his family.

#9This is a sad reminder of the masses of invisible labor (unpaid and paid) that hold up our world. Social scientists have been studying how labor becomes visible (or invisible) for a while without finding obvious solutions to "the situation."
How can we build a world where an infinite procession specialists like Roy can get the care they need and also find and train successors in their important work? Not just because we will all die, but also because we might all want to retire or go on long vacations or, even if we are good at it, change careers.

#10Roy has been an incredibly helpful and dedicated maintainer, always helping people use it. Its the best dhcp client I know of too. Very best wishes in a difficult situation.
