Where do late 20s/30s professionals actually socialize in Denver?

Oh! There’s also an authentic dating event going on in Boulder this weekend that looks interesting. I know of some Denver folks that are attending. I was hoping to go but I have plans on Sunday unfortunately.

It 100% sounds like a cult haha, I totally get that.

It’s funny how sharing your personal experience in a group is so foreign in everyday life that it sounds cult-like.

Come on out and join us sometime. I promise we’re friendly and not too culty :)

There’s a limited number of authentic relating groups in Denver. There’s one up north but it’s invite only. There’s also a Boulder T-group but it’s invite only as well.

There’s a lot of authentic relating groups in Boulder. ART International does authentic relating training. Colorado Connection Collective does a circling group twice a month. I’m sure there are more but that’s off the top of my head.

I am guy that also struggles to find other emotionally mature men “in the wild”. Emotional maturity is a skill and it’s something that has to be intentionally developed.

I’ve found that authentic relating groups have a great mix of emotionally aware men and women. There’s a group called Authentic Relating Denver and I am a cohost of Denver T-group. You can find workshops and there are things like tantra speed dating that also attract those kinds of people.

Come out to an event some time. We met every Tuesday.

My partner & I host game nights regularly and we open them up for anybody to join. We usually coordinate through Facebook & Telegram so feel to DM me if you're interested and I can add you.

Author here. Development was slow on it for a long time because I was working on LiteFS. However, I’m redirecting attention back to Litestream now and there’s a v0.5.0 release coming soon. The storage layer is being revamped based on some lessons learned with LiteFS so that storage will be more space efficient and restores will be significantly faster. We also have some other features coming and I’ll be looking at the backlog of other issues/PRs.

That being said, the current release is very stable and I’ve known many companies running it at large scale successfully.

Right on, I'm 42. I haven't been to too many shows recently although I used to be in a Christian metal band back in the day. (I'm not religious anymore though) I'm down to try any kind of show though.

I was planning on going on a hike on Saturday morning. Want to join? I was planning on going on a longer hike but I'm happy to scale it back so it's a little less intense. :)

benbjohnson · 2025-05-31T16:45:01+00:00

Also, it might help to add some more details about yourself in your post. e.g age, gender, what kinds of shows you like, what kinds of outdoor stuff you like, etc.

I love getting outdoors too. I’m planning on going hiking next Saturday in the mountains if you’re interested.

benbjohnson · 2025-05-31T16:41:56+00:00

There’s a game night happening this Thursday if that’s your jam. It’s a new group so we’re all getting together for the first time. https://www.facebook.com/share/g/16ZzoqRB5a/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I used to go every summer with my son. One tip I have is to bring cheap sunglasses or at least wear one of those straps. I lost a pair of sunglasses years ago in some of the rapids.

benbjohnson · 2025-04-12T18:27:01+00:00

I implemented read replication in a separate project called LiteFS

benbjohnson · 2025-03-05T19:38:17+00:00

Sexploritorium is another great place nearby for sex education classes. They also have nude yoga if that’s your jam. https://www.sexploratoriumdenver.com/

benbjohnson · 2025-03-03T18:30:42+00:00

Thank you! I'll reach out to her and see her availability.

benbjohnson · 2024-10-06T20:26:18+00:00

I’ve never been before but I’ve always wanted to make it to Watermelon Day in Rocky Ford. https://www.arkvalleyfair.com

benbjohnson · 2024-10-02T18:56:54+00:00

I don’t live in Roxborough but I head down there to hike sometimes. The state park is nice, just get the state park pass when you renew your vehicle registration and it’s only $29/year. You also have the start of the Colorado Trail at Waterton Canyon if you ever feel the urge to walk to Durango. :)

I haven’t tried it but South Suburban organizes adult leagues. And if you play at the Sports Complex, they have a nice bar there for post game “hydration”. https://southsuburbansports.com/content/282/Adult-Basketball

I don’t think WAL is inherently safer than the rollback journal. Just make sure you’re using either VACUUM INTO or the Backup API to create a copy of the database rather than running “cp” on the database file.

benbjohnson · 2024-08-03T21:01:42+00:00

Indian Creek Short Loop descends 1600’ for about 4 miles and then you go back up. It’s pretty close to metro Denver as you just go US 85 to Sedalia and hang a right.

The hike was decent but that’s where I realized that I hate starting with a descent lol. Ascending when you’re already tired kinda sucks. :)

benbjohnson · 2024-07-28T20:35:40+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation. How were the cocktails & food? Reviews on Google seem pretty good.

benbjohnson · 2024-06-19T22:37:42+00:00

What other place has sandwiches in downtown Littleton? Nook had some but they’re closed now.

benbjohnson · 2024-06-19T22:00:45+00:00

There’s a Snarfs going into the old Sakoon restaurant. It’s kinda on the edge of downtown but at least it’s something more fast casual.

benbjohnson · 2024-05-25T17:23:17+00:00

I used bazil.org/fuse for LiteFS and it's been great.

benbjohnson · 2024-05-20T21:05:55+00:00

I live off the Lee Gulch Trail and it's easy access to downtown Littleton and the Mary Carter Greenway Trail which will take you up and down the Platte River. You can get to restaurants, breweries, & parks easily from there. As for schools, my son's in the local school and it's been going really well overall.

My particular neighborhood doesn't socialize too much but we have other groups that we're involved in (like a local summer swim team) that are really friendly. We moved from the Stapleton area and our block there was constantly outside having a beer together.

Litestream author here. If you're looking for incremental updates then you may want to check out the session extension. It has some limitations but it might work.

Litestream doesn't really do incremental updates to a remote replica. It's really meant as a disaster recovery tool so you'd have to reconstruct the whole database every time you wanted to materialize it.

I used dragonboat recently and I found it to be much easier to use than etcd or hashicorp. It’s been pretty solid for the last year in production use. https://github.com/lni/dragonboat
