Maintenance is from 13:27 to 14:10 UTC. Need to clean it from dust, and wanna put a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module back in. Found out about a chan_mobile addon for Asterisk, wanna play with it. :)

Only now I found out that NGiNX was misconfigured and websites was not reachable via I2P. :/

Feerix - bloodthirsty, Radiohead - 2 + 2 = 5, Декабрь - Мы не оставим города свои, Инфинити - Где ты?

A good little thought came on my mind today. Why the fuck do I need your e-mail addresses? You better share your websites. So I purged emails from a DB and, of course, removed a field.

Today I completed my CAPTCHA service and integrated it in a guestbook. Now links in message are allowed, but it depends on you.

Unbelievable, I finally found the strength to do it. First rewrote an article "How to move a root partition from SD card off to external drive on Raspberry Pi". Then came up with idea and completed a "Hardening Mikrotik" article in approximately 6 hours. And then this! Wew.

Will read through it later to fix any yikes moments, and maybe add something more. :)

I got a little tired from reading about how insecure Mikrotik routers are. How they are becoming a part of botnets. That comes from poor configuring. In this article I covered a few solid ways to protect your router.

Yeah-yeah, I know, ideally I should sign this message with an old one, but I missed a moment when it got expired.

I believe it deserves a separate post. Wew, today in 08:12:04 UTC I went back online. Dunno what happened, last time it lasted 3 days, and they at least told me the reason (trunk line near my home was ripped off at construction site, classic). All I know the trouble was inside a house.

Around 1 pm UTC internet went down, no link on cable. That's it. Will update this post when get back online.

I plan to rewrite my websites in Go and I started with implementing a file upload service. :) I had this idea long before, and tried to make one interesting feature as one-time download. But after some research I come up with conclusion that it is impossible without making a special client that would send a confirmation.

So, the limit is 128MiB and 48 hours. And overall capacity for this service is set to 200GiB. That's for now, will see.

upload.arav.top

Amount of Carbon Based Lifeforms was drastically reduced from 171 to 36 songs. :) It was just a link to theirs discography, where some albums have two versions, so some songs was presented twice on a playlist.

I've thrown a lot of Falkenbach on the radio. Also, following songs: Eddie Vedder - Long Nights, Manu Chao - Carreteiro, PALC - С каждым.

Throwed some songs of 彩音 (Ayane): Arrival of Tears (void remix), Crest of Knights, ORANGE, Private place, To the Moon, 魔女っ子メグちゃん.

How to say it better... Alas, not good at english swearings.

Worst fucking year ever. Fucked it in a mouth and other suitable, and not so much, holes. And if there wasn't enough, then would make a new ones and fucked in them until there's nothing but a pile of shit will stay. Wew...

Year of disease and death. Fuck this chinese flu. We got illed with COVID-19 this spring and got over it in June. But aftermatch hit my grandpa in October. He got a stroke and died in 3 days unconscious because of cerebral edema.

Won't give too much details, just say we had a little to no, ghostly, hope for him to recover. His health was fucked badly and without this COVID-19. It just broke him completely, irrecoverably, touched every of his chronic illnessnes, all of them were related to blood, bones and brain, so shit was serious.

He was in chernobyl, was sent there very soon after catastrophe took place, and no matter what precautions he done radiation, obviously, fucked him up. Oh, he just turned 74 years old in September and that's what happened. Oh, if only not this shitty flu...

Well, I guess now you understand why I wasn't replying to anything. Just was doing minor updates to get distracted.

Thanks for your attention.

And wanna say a special thank to a guy that sent me in an email an easy fix for Gitea using nginx's sub_filter to replace domains on pages accordingly to what domain you access it with. Alas, your mail provider is using Spamhaus block lists, and I'm sitting on a dynamic residential connection, so getting instantly rejected. Hope you will see this post. Thank you.

And that's why you couldn't reach me using .onion addresses.

I made use of variables in my nginx config, and wanted to make a note on how and where they can be used.

Back from work, sit and listen, and suddenly notice that same song started again. Checked logs, and kek'd. Since 1 am UTC liquidsoap shitted his pants and began repeat She Past Away - Soluk, Shaman - Hunka Lunka, and Lacrimosa - Letzte Ausfahrt : Leben. Nice choose, I must admit. xD I updated liquidsoap to 2.0.0 yesterday evening. Will see tomorrow if it happen again.

Some more Octoberland songs: Glowstream, Recurrent Stroke, Summer's Dying Twitch, and Wastelands.

Also: The Turtles - Happy Together (Remastered) and Vera Lynn - We'll Meet Again.

Octoberland: Angelwing, Faceless, Mindhaven, Obsessive.

Les Discrets: Le mouvement perpétuel, L'échappée, Les amis de minuit, Les jours d'or, Linceul d'hiver, Song for Mountains, Sur les quais, Virée nocturne.

Persephone's Bees - Nice Day, The AmpFibians - Adios, Tuco, The AmpFibians - Enigma of the Deep, :Wumpscut: - Remember One Thing.

I brought some client JavaScript to do quality of life additions to a file share. Now audio, video and images are opened in an overlay with a left click.

Some minor changes on a website. I added the address helper links for my i2p domains. Dunno why, but my registered domains on inr.i2p still didn't make it to alive hosts list, yet they are listed when queried through search and theirs jump service. Also submited them to identiguy.i2p, will see.

The outpost got updated as well. Further reduced, the about page was removed and contacts placed at the index page.

Oh! I've added a pictures directory. Now there are memes with Spidey! :^)

Was listening to Lacrimosa today and found a set of missed songs I MUST add to a playlist. :)

Here are the songs: Ein Hauch Von Menschlichkeit [Suche - Part II], Sacrifice [Hingabe - Part I], Nichts Bewegt Sich, Liebesspiel, Warum So Tief, und Letzte Ausfahrt - Leben.

Also two more songs: Young Leosia - Szklanki, D.H.T - Magic Melody (hardcore mix).

I decided to register a set of domains on inr.i2p. Now they need time to get into an alive hosts file. So I provide you with address-helpers: arav.i2p, radio.arav.i2p, files.arav.i2p, git.arav.i2p.

Farewell, your time is over. HTTP is just way more secure, easier to setup and reliable this days, and demands just one port to work. Ports 20, 21, and a range for the PASV connections are closed.

Long story short, there was a fiber-optic line breakage on 2nd of July that was eliminated in three days.

And good news. I bought a new 2TB HDD (Toshiba L200) for a laptop server, now that should be enough, I'm not a hoarder after all. :) 500 gigs was "fine", especially if I'd delete something, but I decided to buy a new one, since that one is already pretty aged (manufactured in 2013). I keep the old one as an offline backup of my important shit.

Three more songs were added to playlist: Alvvays - Next of Kin, Neko Jump - Poo (Japan ver), and Neuman - Battle Starship.

I rewrote it in a way more sane way. Now it is easy to write more parsers. I wrote a generalised parser for all Tinyboard based IBs (or with identical API).

Added --skip-posts (or just -S) option to skip given amount of posts.

Link to a release.

New songs were added: AllINAll - The Wave Most Surfed (The Road Most Travelled Surf Version), Electric Light Orchestra - Twilight, Hombres G - Devuélveme a mi chica, Hombres G - Separados (feat. Bebe), Morandi - Save me feat. Helene, Sylver - Lay All Your Love On Me.

A few weeks ago I wrote a handy HTTP service that returns a JSON object of process names with boolean values that telling us if process is running. It is written in Go and after a little rewrite and choosing a name I finally published it. Here is the link.

Now you can browse my Gitea instance via Tor and I2P. Alas, it requires you to have a fixed domain and root URL specified in a config. So some links are pointing to git.arav.top, like files in releases and a cloning URL.

Tor: qqitm7qlsbbubwmjos4cqzmvkqidg34rfnbyhuydhalep33fbvh22xyd.onion

I2P: p5nkflgogwv4esy3ainup6mgurpugmdyufizhuufauznreyvprsa.b32.i2p

Beborn Beton - New Born King and 相対性理論 - チャイナアドバイス were added.

From now on I will post what music I've added to the radio. And what I've added are: André Rieu - The Second Waltz, Cake - Hem Of Your Garment and Dernière Volonté - L'Appel.

All this time I was working on a look of a website. And just for a last week I said to myself that I'm tired of editing every single thingy across all pages. So I came to conclusion that it's time to try NodeJS. So I took Koa and Pug and ported my website to it. Well, it's really amazing. Code's so clean now (if you only saw a code of a PHP version of guestbook... xD). Template engines are an invaluably great invention. :)

Yeah, I got rid of Javascript on the outside, but instead, bring it inside. xD Anyway, I was always thinking that Javascript itself never was a problem. Problem is that it is often used where absolutely unnecessary. And browser's APIs brings many convenient tools for us alongside with the ways of doing malicious deeds as well (like fingerprinting, crypto-mining, viruses, etc.). Alas, this is one of the laws of life, everything could be used for evil.

There's one project I'm working on (now developing database). It's a service for file uploading, but files could be downloaded just one time. Yeah, I called it "One-Time File". It'll be available by otf.arav.top link. A file would be kept for 7 days until it won't be downloaded, and size limit is 120MB. That'll be a really interesting experience, since I'll've to figure out how to be sure that file was fully downloaded before it can be deleted. :)

And speaking of my Neocities' site. Well, it looks like that I move out of there, but I definitely don't. That place would be my outpost with links to my website and services. :/

Yep, I think whole article for such a small thing is too much, so now there is an article with recipes and tips for NGiNX.

Now there is info on how to implement userdir functionality and a note about how NGiNX works with HTTP headers.

Today I replaced old 1333MHz 2GB stick with a new 8GB 1600MHz. Now laptop has 10 gigs. I am to figure out what to fill it with. :)

I was thinking why not to make my place available through Tor and I2P. So after minor links fixing I made this place work like a charm through darkweb. Currently only main website and file share are available.

Updated on 2021-02-10.

I thought why not to make an article on how to implement a userdir functionality in NGiNX. Maybe, someone will want to implement this on their server.

And, an article on e-mail server is hard to finish, because every time I sit on it I find flaws in e-mail server's configuration, LMAO.

I did a good work at this website. Especially I love that heading with a name of a site's section under the nav menu. And I finally made this section. I keep moving on. Next major step is to make a links page. My banners are ready, but no one would add me if I won't have a place for theirs banners. :)

Yeah, still no updates to Neocities' website. Now I'm working on a design of this place, and once I'll be satisfied that place will get an update. I work on it too, especially on an about page's content. Last not noticeable update was changing link of a guestbook to a JS-free new one.

Yesterday (19 Nov for me is it :)) I replaced a thermal compound on my PC, and, of course, it just couldn't be an ordinary procedure.

When I assembled everything back and turned on the PC it started swearing at me with 26 beeps and rebooting. I knew that it could be a problem with a RAM stick, but I didn't believe it. And I dissassembled it again and found that a few pins were bended and one missing (!). I fixed them all (around 5 didn't count) and was thinking what to do with that missing pin. I thought it was causing problem but searching led me to a pinout of the socket 1150 and that pin was doing something called VDDQ, and I found that it isn't a problem at all. There was a questionable pin SA_DQ57 (whatever it means), but I bended it a little and it's fine.

Oh, why I even took it from the socket? To clean it from an old thermal compound.

Well, I almost give in to a thought of taking a motherboard to a service and then I tried to put a RAM stick to the second slot and ... it worked! Shit, I don't know what happened. I've vacuumed the motherboard and was absolutely careful. No doubt I didn't break anything, yet, fuck. That vacuum cleaner isn't even powerful enough to suck in anything soldered.

But there's one breakage for sure. One of fixators of a cooler has broken. Shit. Now radiator isn't attached well to the CPU. Hopefully it led to the same temperatures as they was before at least. xD Don't want to whip up it with shit and bricks a zip tie, so I'd better get a new one. And I already ordered it, a little smaller, but supports socket AM4, so I will reuse it in the future, great.

What's next after all the stress I got? I'm going to replace a compound on my graphics card! Ahahahahaha! xDD

P.S.: I made a mindflow.html after I wrote this post.

Update: Okay, SA_DQ is a data bus for memory, so by bending that pin I lost first ram slot. Well, that's not because of cleaning at least.

Today I fixed most of noticed problems and released it. Changelog is behind the link.

I rewrote the guestbook without JS. Hooray!

Ok, in order to make flickering less painful I made dark theme default.

Is there a cure for it ... ? At least, I managed to reduce this soykaf.

Thermal compound replaced, not much dust there was. It used to work at 62°C. Will see later. :) Now it runs on 49°C after 11 minutes. That only means I did everything right.

P.S.: Now it runs on 49-52°C. Nice.

It's time to replace a thermal compound in the laptop, so radio, FTP and Gitea would be down for a while today.

Now a check for a current theme is inside a DOMContentLoaded event listener and script itself is now in a <head>.

I also added an async attribute to a guestbook's script so page won't wait for guestbook posts to load and won't flicker light theme because of that.

And I remade 88x31 banner and made banner's dark counterparts as well. So you have what to choose from. :)

I just found that my PGP key isn't available. Now it is. I apologise to those who wanted it. According to logs this was a problem since the second half of september. :/

I made new banners. They're pretty much the same as was before. I fixed frames order and logo now takes all width.

And maybe I'll finally do something with my neocities' website. Maybe...

At first I moved off to aravs.ru domain in december 2019 that I was gonna change with, maybe, old arav.icu if it'll be available for cheap because renewal prices are too high for me. But then I found a new registrar with dirt cheap renewal price and now I have arav.top domain I've payed for 2 years and if nothing change I'll renew it again and again. So, yes, I finally found my domain that I'm not gonna switch if only I will be forced to.nAnd mostly because of my lazyness I wasn't updating arav.neocities.org for fucking 3 months. That's also because I was trying to reduce its about page.nThen at July 13th my RPi suddenly stopped working. It didn't take much time to realise that the problem was a dying HDD. Hopefully, fsck fixed filesystem and I successfully moved all the stuff onto another drive I took from a laptop that was holding my data. And at July 16th a new SSD arrivedto replace old laptop's system drive that now holds all my stuff and I came back online.

Konnichiwa. I made banners for my websites of 88x31 and 240x60 sizes.
