p #[span.highlighted Why am I almost “doxxing” myself?] Yes, my real first and last names, and age are here, and since I self-host you can get my city as well. And I simply don't see that as a problem.
p #[span.highlighted Why particularly that slogan?] I just wanted sort of a slogan that would fit under the logo and this was the first thing came on mind. I actually like it. Don't you think of your websites as of very special place of your own? Of course you do. :) And who we are if not the wanderers who are looking for something in the vastness of Intenet? xD And yes, it's a pain in the ass to make it fit under logo across different browsers. That was the moment when I found out that different browsers render text differently.
p #[span.highlighted Why English only?] I want this place to be accessible for a wide audience, and English happen to be todays lingua franca. Second, I do that to practice English. And third, I'm lazy to maintain two versions of the website, neither see a good reason for that.
p Contact information and banners are #[a(href='#contacts') at the bottom of this page]. Yes, I totally agree with you not wanting to add my banner since I don't have a link page myself, neither participate in any webring. :) Well, it's way easier to make a banner than a links page. :)
p #[span.highlighted English] is my main foreign language and I think that I know it quite well, but every time I reread what I wrote here I'm constantly catching cringe vibes. xD I have a nice pronunciation (my teacher once said so :)) and tend to British non-rhotic variant. Of course I end up with a mix of all the flavours of different dialects. What I struggle from is a lack of speaking practice and vocabulary is also still a problem.
p #[span.highlighted Ukrainian (Українська)] is a special case. :) Russian and ukrainian are related languages, so mutually understandable, yet many russians are struggling to understand it, and I don't know why. But it is a matter of putting some little effort to negatiate it. I never learnt it, but throughout past 8 years I saw enough material to learn it to a decent level of understanding and some speaking.
p Агась, нiколи спецiйно не вчив українську, користував перекладач тiльки як словник, за цi вiсiм рокiв було досить матерiалiв. :) P.S.: Слава Українi ускладi Росiї! хД
p I like learning languages, but me being a lazy fuck won't let me learn something up to a reasonable level. I ended up with being able to +- read some languages, like norwegian, german, polish, french, japanese (hiragana + some yet not forgotten kanji). So, now I main only english.
p #[span.highlighted For programming and scripting:] Python, Go, JavaScript, and Bash for now are most used by me. Later I used or tasted: Pascal, Delphi, C#, C, C++, Java, PHP.
p #[span.highlighted Markup and declarative:] SQL (SQLite3, MariaDB), HTML5, CSS3, LaTeX, Markdown, XML, and JSON.
p Ghost in the Shell, Shaman King, Hellsing, Steins;Gate, Cowboy Beebop, Ergo Proxy, Jin-Rou, Black Lagoon, Jojo's Bizzare Adventures, Spice and Wolf, Konosuba, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

p I actually don't watch much, and if I watch I go for a marathon, and if only I take a break in the middle of a show, then that break could last for years. xD And if I download some film it could sit for years, as it was with Valhalla Rising, it was waiting for me to watch for 3 fucking years. xD Oh, what made me to watch it? An one and a half hour long power outage. xD
p Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Half-Life (all), StarCraft, Diablo 2, Far Cry (2004), Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Boiling Point: Road to Hell, Portal, Freelancer, F.E.A.R., S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Grand Theft Auto 4, Lineage 2, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, Payday 2, The Witcher (1st, 2nd, 3rd didn't finished yet), Minecraft, Terraria, Starbound, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Mount & Blade: Warband, Papers, Please, Insurgency, Elite: Dangerous, theHunter: Call of the Wild, American Truck Simulator, Rocket League, Sea Of Thieves.
p My favorites that I like almost fully are Falkenbach, Korpiklaani, Sólstafir, Lacrimosa, Enigma, Röyksopp, Nagrobki, Burzum, maybe I forgot to mention something. You can see what I like on #[a(href=files_site+"/music") file share]. I have a tendency to listening to the same music for a long time, so only way for me to know about other music are online-radios and WEBM threads on IBs. :)
p I have two of them, the first one is a #[a(href='https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-3-model-b/' rel='nofollow noreferrer') Raspberry Pi 3 rev. B] single board computer and the second one is a laptop. Yeah, not quite impressive, but they do their work just fine.
p Laptop is Acer Packard Bell TE69CX that has a 2 core Intel Pentium 2117U 1.8GHz and 10GB RAM (2GB + 8GB), the system disk is a 120GB SSD and the other one is 2TB HDD where all the shit I have is stored. I've replaced my good old 500GB disk with 2TB one, since it became a little too tight, now it is a system disk for Raspberry Pi. Everything that have just a bit of importantance to me is backed up, encrypted and stored in the clouds. :)
p #[span.highlighted TL;DR about services.] Laptop runs a network file share, a public file upload service, a seedbox, a HTTP public file share, TeamSpeak 3, Mumble, Matrix, I2P, an internet-radio, git server, ClamAV for email server, a web-server, and a database. Raspberry Pi 3 runs OpenVPN, BIND9, DNSCrypt-proxy, a Tor relay, an email server, and a XMPP server.
p Runs using Liquidsoap through Icecast, which goes through NGiNX. I broadcast almost everything I have. Sorry, but I'm too lazy to make some kind of broadcasting program to stream so I just randomise the playlist and throw new music there from time to time.
p This project grew from MPD I used to stream music over LAN for myself. Then I let it out and placed a player on my Neocities website. Then Icecast was added to see if there are listeners. I wasn't happy on how MPD was nearly overloading CPU, and later, after moving the radio off to a laptop, MPD was replaced by Liquidsoap.
p Gitea. This is a place where I put source code of everything I ever wrote and consider useful and worth sharing.

p Alas, I don't have a static IP. And there is not much sense in it because my ISP doesn't offer reverse DNS for regular clients (it'd be bloody awesome).
p It results in my messages ends up in a spam box at best. Well, Yandex, Google, Microsoft Live, and Rambler lets me in an Inbox. :) But if service use Spamhaus' blocklists then I'm being rejected.
p Version is 1.16.5 currently. I homebrew clients for it. Here is #[a(href=files_site+"/games/minecraft/aravsdwelling-minecraft-1.16.5.exe") an installer for Windows] (412MiB) I make with NSIS. And a #[a(href=files_site+"/games/minecraft/aravsdwelling-minecraft-1.16.5.tar.gz") TAR.GZ archive] (424 MiB) that is for both Windows and Linux. You'll need to set a PLAYER and MC_DIR variables in scripts. And change JVM_PARAMS to your preferences (-Xmx usually needs to be adjusted).
