    I had this one. In the 2000s. Went a long long way down that road. I lived in a city, shared a small back garden. Planted potatoes, onions, carrots, and coriander (for some reason that I don’t remember). They all grey, a lot. It was fantastic. Then I got into keeping bees. Learned all about bees & how to work with them. My friend and I bought 20 colonies, built hives, convinced our local council to give us derelict land, and started an apiary where we would teach people about bees. We travelled around various festivals and took bees, and talked about bees. It was a very satisfying & focused few years.

    Right now, my mum is developing dementia (we’re waiting on tests to help with a definitive diagnosis). Her memory is very bad, and getting worse. She can forget what she said in one sentence by the time she is part way through the next. If it wasn’t terrible it would be amazing - like she fully 100% has no idea what she said and sometimes will even argue that she didn’t say that thing. So I think it’s completely within the realms of possibility that he doesn’t remember.

    I also think that he doesn’t care enough about any of this to even register the information as worth remembering in the first place. He’s a shitty cunt regardless of the objective assessment of his mental state.

    I had a host of symtpoms that could be attributed to low testosterone, or depression, or a couple of other things. I went to my GP and asked for blood tests, to include testosterone & kidney function.

    My testosterone is fine (upper end of normal range) so NOW my GP & I can direct efforts towards what the actual problems are rather than wonder about low testosterone as a cause.

    It’s a reasonable thing to have tested as low testosterone for men over 50 most definitely can be a source of problems.

    @southsamurai@sh.itjust.works I bought the game early on without much investigation as I’d been looking for a DnD game and this seemed to be it. I played without any research, and I didn’t even know there was a romance mechanic. I discovered it when somehow Lae’zel had dialogue options that seemed … unusual (for her). Turns out, pretty much the ONLY character I don’t have to try to romance is Lae’zel. Seems my playstyle is exactly what fits her character.

    Every time. All the others take a lot of work.

    When I was 19 - 21 I sold drugs in the club scene. Early 90s. I did it Thursday - Sunday. I made £1k per week minimum.

    It was not fun but … I couldn’t make surviving money with the shitty jobs I had (I’d been working since I was 15) and this was easy. It was 90s clubs, they practically sold themselves.

    Decent money but lots of stress.

    It’s a domain I’ve had for 15 years (I keep renewing) and I registered with 123-reg.

    If you 're in the EU definitely check out Bunny. They’re based in Slovenia. I used their free trial, to test it all out. After that their pricing is competitive, and mostly if you’re a single user homelab type you’ll pay nothing. At least, that’s been my experience for the past 8 months. My use falls well under their provided no charge tier.

    I looked at using nginx however I liked what I read and saw of Caddy (it seemed easier for me). I don’t do anything very clever and Caddy is working great for me.

    *I’m not associated with them other than to be a customer. Prior to switching to Bunny I used Cloudflare free level but I wanted to get away from anything associated with the USA and their (lack of ) data protection laws.

    @dingleberrylover@lemmy.world I have a static IP provided by my ISP. I own my own domain name. I use BunnyCDN to manage my DNS.

    On my server I run Jellyfin and reverse proxy with Caddy, I also run Fail2Ban. Caddy has built in SSL certification.

    After I set it all up (which took me a few tries to get it all right as I was learning on the go) it just runs with no apparent problems. I check logs and monitor it regularly however so far I haven’t had any problems.

    The Jellyfin address is shared only to a few family members.

    I’m in the EU so GDPR applies and none of the involved companies is datamining my stuff. Their policies are to be non-invasive.
