I'm a russian guy of age 28 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. 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 :))! Hehe. Yes, my full name and age are here as well. 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 and choose what to publish. :) That was a main goal of having a home server. 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 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 Now a little break for... section#my-cat h2 My cat Boris :3 figure.center a(href='/assets/img/my_cat.webp') img(src='/assets/img/my_cat_thumb.webp' title=':3' alt='My cat. :3') section#more-about-me p And here we continue. :) h3 Hobbies p Video games (since 1997) p Computers (since 11th November 2004) p Surfing the Internets (since February 2006) p Mapping for Half-life 2, Counter-Strike: Source (since 2006, discontinued in 2009) (everything's fuarrkin' lost) p Music writing (since 2007, last track was made in 2010) p Programming (since 2007) p Home servers (since 1st January 2017) p Software Defined Radio (since June 2018) h3 What I know h4 Human languages p #[span.highlighted English] is my main foreign language and I think that I know it quite well. I have a nice pronunciation (my teacher once said so :)) and I 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 Norwegian]. I tried to learn, but lack of usefulness made me to almost forget it. I just like how scandinavian languages sound and chose simplest for me to learn. p #[span.highlighted Ukrainian] is easy to learn for me as I'm an east slav myself. By reading and listening to it here and there I can understand most of speech and say something not complicated. p I like learning languages, but I'm being a lazy fuck won't let me learn something up to a reasonable level. :) So I end up being able to read and knowing some words and phrases. h4 Computer languages p #[span.highlighted For programming and scripting:] Python, PHP, JavaScript, and Bash for now are most used by me. Later I used: C, C++, C#, Delphi, Pascal, Java. p #[span.highlighted Markup and declarative:] SQL (SQLite3, MariaDB), HTML5, CSS3, Latex, Markdown, XML, and JSON. p And I don't know what else to put here. :^) h3 What I like h4 Anime 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 h4 Films p WarGames (1983), Hackers (1995), Johnny Mnemonic (1995), Snatch (2000), Valhalla Rising (2009), Who am I (2014), movies with Jackie Chan, Matrix (1999, 2003), Stargate (1994), Blade Runner (1982) h4 TV shows p X-Files (1993—2002), Lost (2004—2010), Stargate: SG-1 (1997—2007), Stargate: Atlantis (2004—2009) p Films and TV shows aren't complete lists, I will add when remember something. 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 h4 Games for SEGA Mega Drive p Not a lot of games I've played. p Bubba'n'Stix, Battletoads, Granada, Demolition Man, Road Rash, Doom Troopers - The Mutant Chronicles, The Lost Vikings, Ghostbusters, Mig-29 Fighter Pilot. h4 Games for PC p Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (my first computer game), Half-Life (all), StarCraft, Diablo 2, Far Cry (2004), Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Portal, Freelancer, F.E.A.R., S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Grand Theft Auto 4, The Elder Scrolls 5: 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, Elite: Dangerous, theHunter: Call of the Wild, American Truck Simulator, Rocket League, Sea Of Thieves. p I'm CMDR Arav in Elite: Dangerous. My EDSM profile. p I play TruckersMP mod for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. Nickname is Arav with a tag [RU64]. h4 Music 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 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. :) section#servers-summary 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. :) 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. section#servers-photos div.grid.figs figure a(href='/assets/img/raspi.webp') img(src='/assets/img/raspi_thumb.webp' title='Patch cord\'s tongue is broken. :(' alt='Raspberry Pi 3 rev.
