The explanation:
> I regret to inform the community that since my house was destroyed by russians who invaded my country, Wasm3 will enter a minimal maintenance phase. At this time, I am unable to continue the development of new features. However, I am committed to keeping the project alive and will actively review and merge incoming Pull Requests. I deeply appreciate your understanding and support during this difficult period. Your contributions to Wasm3 are now more valuable than ever.
The linked tweet (edit: from September 2022) shows a video of the destroyed house and invites people who want to help to donate.
- ranting-moth 3y agoThis is awful. Slava Ukraini.

- the_only_law 3y agoIt was used then but it predates it apparently > The phrase was popularised during the Ukrainian War of Independence (from 1917 to 1921).
- relativeadv 3y agodamn, you really got em' with that one.
- usrusr 3y agoHow dare they pick a side when trapped between a rock and a hard place.
- technothrasher 3y agoYeah. Considering the Soviets had just killed millions of Ukrainians in the Holodomar when WWII started, I don't think from the Ukrainian perspective either group invading Ukraine at the time was the 'good side'. Many Ukrainians thought siding with Germany was their best chance to gain an independent country after the war. Unfortunately, we know now that the Nazis were never going to let that happen, and it did lead a lot of Ukrainians to collaborate with the Nazis in committing terrible atrocities. But it was a much more complicated situation than that they fought for the bad side. "Slava Ukraini" reflects their desire then and now for independent self rule, not any moral failings during WWII.

- neoromantique 3y ago>Neonazism does indeed enjoy broad support there. Not any more than US or Russia itself
- hutzlibu 3y agoAre there any official Nazi regiments or heros officially admired by the US? (In Russia you have the motorcyle gang with strong links to neonazism who are buddies with Putin edit: but upon a quick check, that might have been propaganda from the other side).

- neoromantique 3y agoIn Russia? Wagner, Rusich, etc. Azov on the other hand is not a "Nazi regiment", it's had troubling beginnings but it was cleared up as it was brought into army ranks. EDIT: misread the question, in US there aren't 'regiments', but denying the fact that army is rife with supremacists is plain silly. [Any] Army by itself is a magnet for these sorts of folks, and it takes active effort to weed them out, not something that a country at war can easily afford.

- dralley 3y agoIf you had lived under Stalin for 15 years and directly experienced 4 million of your countrymen being starved to death under his dictats, the concept of "good" side and "bad" side is messy. Especially when you don't have full access to information - no internet, no newspapers, no radio. The Finns fought on the "bad" side as well, due to the Soviet Union having tried to invade them already two years previously. Ukraine had likewise tried to get independence in 1917 which led to a 4 year civil war which they unfortunately lost.

- neoromantique 3y agoUS is still battling with its confederate past many years later, it's insane to ask country that's had barely 30 years of independence to go through this quicker.
- jakupovic 3y agoHeroyam Slava. Agree awful!
- actionfromafar 3y agoOuch. That house needs a new roof ASAP to halt the rain and snow.
- thinkmassive 3y agoWell the tweet is from Sept 2022, so hopefully the roof has been patched for a while now.
- vshymanskyy 3y agoIt wasnt
- cheschire 3y agoFor folks who don't make the connection, this is the repo owner speaking authoritatively about the state of the house.
- mcv 3y agoI hope you have a different roof in a safer location now. It's a good reminder for everybody outside Ukraine that the war isn't just the news or the maps from the mil-vloggers; it's also lots of people who are homeless because their house has been bombed or demolished, their town occupied, and their lives disrupted in a myriad of ways. I really hope we can start rebuilding soon.
- vshymanskyy 3y agoThanks!
- szundi 3y agoProbably needs walls and windows too.
- vshymanskyy 3y agoUndoubtedly. The building itself needs to be deconstructed (as we found out later)
- tkubacki 3y agoI really hoped someone will help get rid of Putin from inside RU by this moment (I believe there are plenty of who may not necessary love him). EU should really put more cash on table to help UA.
- cmrdporcupine 3y agoNationalism is one hell of a drug. And perhaps naive of us to assume that the war in Ukraine is a product only of this one man and his ideas and/or party. Unfortunately Russia seems unusually united in this "operation." EDIT: don't usually complain about downvotes, but WTH people, what did I say that's controversial? Seems some people think this is somehow pro-Russian? It's not.
- otabdeveloper4 3y ago> Nationalism is one hell of a drug. I completely agree. Slava Ukraini!
- aleph_minus_one 3y ago> > Nationalism is one hell of a drug. > I completely agree. Slava Ukraini! Do you see the contradiction? ;-)
- questinthrow 3y agoHe's implying that ukrainians got into this predicament by being nationalistic and not because they were invaded
- cmrdporcupine 3y agoI hope you're not referring to my comment, that was not my intent at all.
- oytis 3y ago> don't usually complain about downvotes, but WTH people, what did I say that's controversial? Sorry, I incorrectly read your statement as blaming "both sides" - I assume I might have been not the only one.
