What Happened to ESR?


For more than a year ESR(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_S._Raymond) has not posted anything on his blog esr.ibiblio.org or his home page http://www.catb.org/esr. Does any one know what happened to him?

Well, at least he is still active programming: https://gitlab.com/esr/reposurgeon/-/issues/405

I've seen him post comments on other forums; he still exists. I suspect he's quiet because speaking up may get his work removed from the internet. Voicing contrary opinions has got dangerous the past couple years.

You could email him? His address is fairly easy to find on his site.
