Wow. RIP. It is a name I hadn't thought of in years. I was on Ubuntu Forums and some other Ubuntu communities as an observer/power user, and I recall him being a source of knowledge and education. "slangesek".
45, so young. Thanks for being there for all of us re: Ubuntu!
Could be anything, sadly. Tteck, from Proxmox helper scripts recently died as well but did inform the GitHub community it was appendiceal cancer. Sadly he went quite quick too.
I had a medical colleague who unexpectedly died at 33 after Christmas.
Life is short. Hug your loved ones and let them know you love them everyday.
I feel it too. My kid is 6 and my most important goal right now is survive and be able to provide until he becomes a young adult. My father died right when I was 20 year old and while it was hard I managed. I can't image how hard it would've been growing up without a dad. And without a mom is probably even worse but I let moms worry about that.
Yea, I find myself growing increasingly sensitive. I spent several years in Afghanistan and now the most mildest of violence even in media bothers me. I couldn’t imagine either of my sons having to go through that or anyone else’s children. Life is so incredibly precious and until proven otherwise rare.
Yeah. This really changed for me after getting a kid. The thought I hope to live long enough to see my kid do X crosses my mind on a regular basis. Makes you enjoy all of it much more, especially because a lot of things that I can see her do now, I wished to see ~10 years ago.
Neither any of the articles I looked up nor his obituaries name the illness so I assume he wanted that kept private. Probably not how I'd handle it, but to each their own.

RIP Steve Langasek and thank you for your contributions to Ubuntu.
Sad news. He did a lot for Debian and Ubuntu.

The article says illness, but which illness?

Reading this while holding my new born and man does this hit you right in the gut.

As they get older it hits harder, just the thought of any harm.

Sheesh man that’s pretty damn dark.
According to his Mastodon, stage 4 colon cancer
do your colonoscopies early. It’s not a fun thing to do, but it can save your life
