  • Mom was 18, Dad 20 when they had my brother.
    Mom was 20,Dad was 22 when they had me.

    Mom was a narcissist, dad a weakling so no standing up for himself or the kids.
    They lived as teens/tweens and had no handle on life nor how to raise kids.
    One set of awesome grandparents, one set that severed contact with me and my brother 3 times.
    I tried to kill myself at 13.

    Dad severed contacts with me and my brother twice.

    Mom got alzheimer at 58 and died soon after, was not allowed to attend funeral.

    All in all I like my current life and have a great partner and two lovely kids. Awesome group of friends as well.

    They should have never met, never have kids and certainly not at that age. It fucked me up something fierce.



  • So always assume some piece of knowledge is not obvious for someone out there and share

    You just described a thing of mine I cannot help but do; explain the ever loving crap out of things
    I need to be careful with that though as relatives start to complain and push back on me telling things over and over.
    Thing is, until I see a full comprehension on the other side on what I try to convey I just keep explaining in variations, keep finding metaphors and keep pestering you until you ‘get it’. Some say it is a virtue, some say it is a hindrance.

    I have had therapy on this… 😂


  • I use NPM in a docker container. It could not be easier in my opinion but then again, I did not use any of the alternatives so I might be missing out on something, who knows. I did manage a couple of proxy servers in the past based on Apache and I can tell you that NPM is much easier and logical to me than that.

    Just create a compose file and start it. Create DNS records pointing to your NPM IP address/exposed IP and make a host in NPM sending traffic to the right container IP:port. The compose file is super simple, could not be easier. Here’s mine for example:

    services:
      nginx-proxy-manager:
        container_name: nginx-proxy-manager
        image: 'jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest'
        restart: always
        ports:
          - '80:80'
          - '443:443'
        volumes:
          - ./data:/data
          - ./letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt
    
    

    I just make sure ports 443 and 80 are exposed on my router so DNS records can point to that IP adrdess. All traffic on port 80 gets re-routed to 443.

    I’m probably stating all the obvious things here 😀


  • The 60’s messed with us. Two things come to mind:

    1. A large chunk of hippies who I met went fully opposite, they embraced capitalism and the opportunities presented to them due to unlocked access of education and society becoming and being less hierarchical. And then they pulled up the ladder, denying the next generation the same benefits.

    2. Conservatives got collective heart attacks across the globe and a counter movement started to eradicate the things and goals achieved during the 60’s. This took a couple of decades but we all know you can count on with conservatives, they have long goal vision and stamina.

    So, the generation who got freedoms and opportunities of the likes you will most probably never ever see in your lifetime is almost dead, they will not help out and remedy this, they are done.

    And we can see in the world right now what the counter movement of conservatives has achieved, they ‘win’ at just about every turn, especially politically. This is not likely to go away, it will probably get worse.

    Enjoy the results of the 60’s, hippies and conservative plans to tackle that pesky freedom and equality shit…
