p #[span.highlighted Who am I?] I'm a russian guy who likes tinkering with computers. Some more on me you can read on #[a(href='https://arav.neocities.org/about.html') neocities' page].
p #[span.highlighted Why am I doing all of this?] I run my machines 24/7 anyway, so why not make them do some useful work that they can handle. Such as simple radio, file share via HTTP and FTP, Tor relay and I2P node, e-mail server, web and so on.
p #[span.highlighted Why am I almost “doxxing” myself?] Yes, since I host straight from my home you can get my city, but so can I do with you (if you don't use VPN or Tor :)). I don't think that's a problem. What's more important is that my data belongs only to me and I can access it from anywhere. :) That was a main goal of having a home server.
p But in addition I have my age, name and surname disclosed! Not a big deal for me as well. :)
p #[span.highlighted Why particularly that slogan?] I just wanted sort of a slogan that'd fit under the logo and that was the first thing came in my mind. And eventually it became permanent as everything that was ever meant to be temporary. :) 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 that are wandering through the Intenets in searching for something we'd like? xD
p #[span.highlighted Why English only?] I want this place to be accessible by wide audience, and English happen to be todays lingua franca. Second, I do that to practice English. And I'm lazy to maintain two versions of the same thing.
p P.S.: Yeah, I'm not so glad that this site partially repeats neocities' one.
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. :) Well, it's way easier to make a banner than a links page. :)
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 500GB HDD where all the shit I have is stored. I'm fine with that storage, yes I'd like to have more and mirrored in RAID 1, but that's fine. Everything that is just a bit important is backed up, encrypted and stored in the clouds. :)
p #[span.highlighted TL;DR about services.] Laptop runs a network file share, a seedbox, a FTP/HTTP 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 Version is 1.16.4 currently. I homebrew clients for it. Here is #[a(href=files_site+"/games/minecraft/aravsdwelling-minecraft-1.16.4.exe") an installer for Windows] I make with NSIS. And a #[a(href=files_site+"/games/minecraft/aravsdwelling-minecraft-1.16.4.zip") ZIP archive] 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).
p And you can get #[a(href=files_site+"/programs/windows/installators/jre-8u281-windows-x64.exe") jre-8u281-windows-x64.exe] from my file share.
