p #[span.highlighted Why am I doing all of this?] Machines are up 24/7 anyway, so why not?
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 this 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, and to practice the language of course.
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 constantly catch 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 still a problem as well.
p #[span.highlighted Ukrainian (Українська)] is a special case. :) Russian and ukrainian are related languages, so are mutually understandable (at least must be), yet many russians are struggling to understand it, and I genuinely don't get why. It is just a matter of putting some little effort to negatiate it. I never learnt it, aside from reading it here and there, and looking up some words in a dictionary, and especially throughout past #[s 8] #[s 9] 10 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 #[s вiсiм ] #[s вже дев'ять] десять рокiв було досить матерiалiв. :) P.S.: Слава Українi ускладi Росiї! :)
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. And wrote hello worlds in some others like LISP and Haskell.

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 Also now I have a helper VPS with a 1 core 2.2GHz CPU and 512M RAM, and a 10GB disk I use as a slave DNS server for my domain and a postfix relay to send a mail.
p Runs using Ezstream through Icecast which goes through NGiNX. Ezstream fetches a playlist from a self-written solution. I broadcast almost everything I have. 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 There you'll find music, videos, films, animes, TV shows, books, games, programs, drivers (a very few), OS images (Winblows mainly). Go check it out!
p Gitea. This is a place where I put source code of everything I ever wrote and consider useful and worth sharing.
