p #[span.highlighted Who am I?] My name is Alexander Andreev. I'm a russian guy of age 29 who likes tinkering with computers.
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.
p #[span.highlighted Why am I doing all of this?] Machines are up 24/7 anyway, so let they do some useful work.
p #[span.highlighted Why am I almost “doxxing” myself?] Yes, my real name, surname 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 in 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 looking for something we'd like? 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.

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. :)

h2 My servers
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's a cold storage. Everything that have just a bit of importantance to me is backed up, encrypted and stored in the clouds. :)

Raspberry Pi 3 runs OpenVPN, BIND9, DNSCrypt-proxy, a Tor relay, an email server, and a XMPP server.
