Seeing a therapist for the first time, 30 years old.

For your first session, don't expect much more than just getting to know each other a bit, talking a bit about your goals and where you're at. See if you vibe with them. It's one of those interpersonal things that you can't really objectively measure. Relax, feel them out as a person. As to self diagnosis: i think with a new therapist there's a bunch of fundamentals before you get to those more significant issues. Once you do, be honest and open. Tell them you suspect you may have something like it and why you think that way and they should take it from there. But honestly, don't expect too much from a first chat.

Awesome! You got this, friend. What has you drinking?

Personally i am not drinking months at a time. I've reached a point where i can drink a single beer and then go back to not drinking for a while again, although I've had some crashes over the years. But the interval i can measure in years now. Those crashes were all significant turmoil in my life i couldn't handle... It always took a lot of strength to pull myself out though.

How long are you sober?

I have stopped drinking something like nine years ago now, but except for the initial year or so i haven't been completely dry. But i drink one drink in the span of months for a while now and really most of those times just literally one. Does that count as sober?

Old school self hoster: scared of the security challenges of modern hosting

Ha i can totally feel the pain. Its a lot to learn! I've personally gone the traefik route instead of nginx. It does a lot of the rewriting by itself just by attaching labels to docker instances, and there is excellent middlewares available for security measures, like oauth forwarding or modsecurity. You can write your own middleware too and it's quite simple to do without having to interact with the full http session. As for logging, you can configure other logging drivers for docker. If you're worried about them being too ephemeral, send them to syslog or journald. Or set up fluentd and store them in the cloud. What makes things less complicated these days i think is that we now have "small things doing few things very well" in services with all sorts of containers, you just have to glue them all together.
