The first one that came to mind is a wife and mistress talking.

Men, how do you show affection to your male friends? (self.chat)

As a man in his 50's who grew up in the southern US, I rarely saw men showing any outward affection to their platonic male friends. Sure, you'd see a congratulatory pat on the butt playing sports, but that's about it.

Interestingly, before that back in the 1940's and 50's, men were much more outwardly affectionate toward each other. I assumed the change was mainly due to societal pressures about homosexuality and the "hugging is for sissies" mentality. In the past 20 years that pendulum has swung back again and you see it more often.

So I'm curious what it's like in your friend group? Are you uncomfortable with it? How do you tell your friends you love them? Or do you?

Edit: to clarify the title

I like this! I think as a kid you were on to something and ahead of your time.

As a small kid I wanted to fly airplanes. As a medium kid I wanted to be a chef. I even had a design for the restaurant I wanted. As a big kid I went to college to be an aerospace engineer and instead fell in to an IT career.

What are you self-hosting? in c/technology

[–] earthshatteringkboom 2 points 1 year ago

I have a small home lab and my self-hosted stuff is pretty light for the most part.

Proxmox on a NUC running
- HomeAssistant VM
- Docker VM with Sonarr, Readarr, SABnzbd, Portainer, etc
Plex running on a Synology
Dedicated pfSense hardware running ad blocking
HD Homerun for over-the-air TV

It's on my list to check out Vaultwarden, OpenVPN, and a few other things.

My previous VM host was a Dell R610 running ESXi. I replaced it with the NUC because it was loud and generated a lot of heat. Definitely don't regret that.

Drinkers, what is your preferred alcoholic beverage? in c/chat

Crown peach and lemonade are a very tasty mix. You could use something like Simply Lemonade Lite to cut the calories too.
