I never received any kind of talk from my parents. Also, in my home country, during the communist era and even after, sex ed in schools was taboo. Crazy thing too, since it had (and still has) one of the highest teen pregnancy numbers in Europe.

Anyway, I did not want that with my kids. Luckily where we live now there is a strong sex ed program in schools, but also at home, we were always open. We talk about sex casually, we reiterate "always ask for consent" and "no means no", and my son even ratted out one of his school buddies who's a Tate fan. He knew that what the guy was saying was wrong, so they don't hang out anymore.

Also, sexuality. One of my daughters came out to us over dinner, so casually, "dad, I think I'm gay". I just said "cool" and gave an awkward fist bump.

Just be open, casual, don't make things weird.

First time I heard of Gitee, I don't think it's that popular. Also, their website appears to be in Chinese only.

Gitea on the other hand is pretty popular, but after some controversial decisions, Forgejo was born and it started getting a lot of traction.

Nope, I had no school option, and no lake or river around home where I could learn. I went with my parents to the seaside a few days every year, but my dad didn't teach me. When I had kids of my own, it was on the "must" list: teach to ride bike, make sure they can swim.

Yeah, it got kinda messy. My kids were smarter than me so they added sauces as they went :)

Thanks, to be honest, I've never had either IRL 🤦

I listen to the Diablo 2 & 3 or Skyrim OST when reading.

I think the spices make a huge difference. Especially their freshness. My wife manages an expat community here in Germany, and we sometimes have culinary exchanges. Some people join these events just to eat, I join to cook and learn :) we cooked so far Indian, Afghan, Turkish, German, Romanian.

I can't think of anything else tbh, I mean curry & rice & naan work beautifully, I don't want to break the balance :)

Hell yeah :) I mentioned in other comments, but my kids love them, so I started leaving them in.

I buy mine, frozen. I don't have that much time to make naan from scratch :) Just added some butter, crushed garlic, fresh (frozen) parsley and coriander. 2 minutes in the oven.

I used to take the crushed seeds and bay leaves out, but then my kids would go around my kitchen and munch of them after taking them out of the pot. So I just started leaving them in 🤷

No, I'm afraid I didn't. I bought the naan ready made, frozen. Just added some butter, crushed garlic, fresh (frozen) parsley and coriander.

I don't have a recipe exactly... it was one of those "what's in the pantry" creations. Here's what I used:

• 500g chicken breast
• 1x 400g chickpea can
• 1x 400g tomato puree can
• 1x 400g coconut milk can
• 2 onions
• 5 garlic cloves
• small piece of fresh ginger
• ground spices: cumin, garam masala, coriander, white pepper, red chili (about half teaspoon each)
• crushed whole spices: allspice, mustard, coriander, cardamom (5-10 seeds, depending on size)

I roasted the whole spices for a minute with a couple bay leaves in some peanut oil, added and sauteed the chicken for a couple minutes, added the chopped onions, garlic, ginger. I leave my spices in, my kids love to crunch on the seeds, but you can take them out before adding the chicken.

When the onions are translucent, add tomato paste, when it starts to simmer, add coconut milk, leave on medium heat until the chicken is ready (about 20-30 minutes). 5 minutes before taking off the head, add chickpeas (juice too, depending on how thick was your tomato puree) and ground spices, salt to taste.

For the rice, I used basmati, one cup in a pot of water (use the knuckle method), boil with half teaspoon salt on medium heat until water evaporated, and the rice has a bit of tooth still. I added maybe 50g of butter on top, and covered the pot and put it away until the curry was ready. Before serving, lightly mix the melted butter in (careful not to break the grains).

I bought the naan ready made, frozen. Just added some butter, crushed garlic, fresh (frozen) parsley and coriander.

That's pretty much it.

Check out crowdsec. Like fail2ban, but with crowdsourced lists on top.

I did not know about opencloud.eu, and now I'm intrigued. I was always looking for a simple Google Drive alternative, but Nextcloud was too much. Will definitely keep an eye on it.

Got a .cc for my home-lab, and a very cheap .li for a website I'm building. Other than that i got .de, .eu and .com for my name and my kids names. Don't know if they'll ever use them, but meh, a .de is a few cents per month.

oh wow, very informative, thank you! (solid, hard belly for me)

i did have some blood tests back in december. everything was within parameters for someone my age & gender.

i'll try the calories / carbs counting. based on how much i eat, i should be able to add it all up at the end of the day. i remember 10-15 years ago i dropped the sugar from my coffee and also stopped eating bread for a few weeks, and i dropped a few kg. i do eat veggies, it's not just protein with rice. my kids love a salad with olive oil and lemon juice, and my stir fries and curries also have plenty of them. but noted!

thanks a lot for the tips!

thanks! i am trying to, i got a large refillable bottle, but "i can't be bothered" to refill it when it's empty, my hyper focus keeps me glued to my chair... if i'm thirsty, i just take another cold coffee sip... 🤦‍♂️
