Struggling to find time

I wanted to give a quick update on my current situation and why it is that I’m absent so much, both in FOSS and in private.

Besides finishing my full-time Bachelors this semester and my part-time job at the same time, I find it difficult to work on FOSS in my free time. This should clear up mid next year the latest, if not sooner.

If projects of mine seem abandoned, this is because I currently just can’t find time to work on them effectively.
As far as patches for those projects go, I will see to it that they’re applied without too much delay as much as I can.

Feel free to still contact me, though, for any reason whatsoever! It might just be that I’m a little slow with replying.

During my routine backup procedures I wanted to investigate why the Synapse database dump was so big (about 740 MiB), for a Matrix server instance basically used just by me and a few acquaintances. Little I knew that I would dive into a rabbit hole. Assist…
