Arav's dwelling Welcome to my sacred place, wanderer

Updates on websites and servers, my very important thoughts and opinions no one asked for. Therefore, there is almost no activity here.

Rambling: Been reading a blog on notbob.i2p last night.

Yesterday was reading a blog on notbob.i2p and found reviews on my main website and a file share. Reading through them first time made me feel somehow embarrassed . :)

Hmm, interesting, how screenshots are made that an SVG logo got broken? :/ Same thing on neocities. I used Firefox and Chromium for testing how my websites look, and had to experiment to find a right font size for chromium.

> My only real complaint is how infrequent and short the blog entries are.

Yeah, true, I'm not wordy most of the time. :)

And, 3/5 for using JavaScript (on main website), for me, using JS to add some additional (foremost convenient) functionality is absolutely appropriate. :) I'm the one of those who doesn't blame an instrument because it is being used for doing evil things. On a mindflow page it allows to filter posts by category. And on a guestbook page it allows to refresh CAPTCHA without having to copypasting your message.

> Blog entries going back about two years.

Before that I was hosted on neocities and those blog entries are left there, and there wasn't much since 16 April 2018, just 14 (including latest after a move to self-host) at the time of this post.

Since that review about the main website (19 December 2022) there was almost no changes in terms of content. Since then I was working on rewriting all the sites from NodeJS to Go. Absolutely worth it. :)

As for the review of the file share. I see it was made just in time when I was writing my own HTTP router and slashes was a little broken. xD

Also, I see in the comments complaints about rate limits, well, yeah, seems that rates I set in NGiNX turned to be way too restrictive. Which is strange, because I did tests, and 12 reqs per sec seemed legit. :/ Okay, decided to turn rate limiting off, will see if it was justified in the first place.

> The stock Java I2P ratelimit is rather extreme.

All this time I had 3072 kB/s up and down, now, after replacing an SSD, I upped it to 6144 kB/s, so that was the rate limiting of NGiNX. :|

It is always awesome to read such messages. Glad I helped you. <3

Also, been running i2pd for a week, and got back to java version, and that's because under i2pd browsing my sites was extremely slow to do, files on the file share just didn't load, and an upload service was the same. I wonder why is that, is it a real speed and the java router just detects that I'm accessing my local sites though it and route it directly, and to test I should install i2p router locally on my PC, or i2pd is really that slow to host services..? A rate for i2pd was set to 6144 kB/s.

And what's most important is that from there I found that my RSS was broken, and, after a brief look around, was found that that happened because Jade treats link tag from RSS like a link tag from HTML which is self-closing, so had to (and did of course) find a workaround. Also, I found that a date format was wrong, fixed this as well. Sorry, I don't read my own feed. :) Now it is 100% valid.

Also, to mindflow posts a url field was added to hold a link to a topic of a post. In RSS such link replaces a default link to a post on a mindflow page, and on the mindflow page it is showed at first line of a post as this: "Link: ...". Also updated all 69 (lel) previous posts.

So, if you, anon, have my RSS feed in your reader then I strongly suggest you to re-add it, because it was really fucked up.

Thank you for your attention. Have a good day. <3
