Only setting a legacy mode and installing GRUB with BIOS loader fixed that. Something really fucked up with its UEFI. Just rebooted as usual and poof, no bootable device found. Well, I'm finally back.

Well, this time for an even longer time I hope. :) And it is even cheaper than a .top domain was! :) I set up DNS records, so it needs time to spread over the Internet, and I need to go to sleep anyway. :)

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.

It is written in Go and after a little rewrite and choosing a name I finally published it. Here is the link.

Now git is available as a hidden service.Updateupdate-20210311-1431Thu, 11 Mar 2021 14:31:55 +0000https://arav.su/mindflow#update-20210311-1431me@arav.su (Alexander "Arav" Andreev)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.

New year. Big changes.Updateupdate-20210208-2219Mon, 08 Feb 2021 22:19:00 +0000https://arav.su/mindflow#update-20210208-2219me@arav.su (Alexander "Arav" Andreev)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. :/

Article on userdir in NGiNX rewrote to be an article with recipes for it.Updateupdate-20201204-2227Fri, 04 Dec 2020 22:27:00 +0000https://arav.su/mindflow#update-20201204-2227me@arav.su (Alexander "Arav" Andreev)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.

So after minor links fixing I made this place work like a charm through darkweb. Currently only main website and file share are available.

Article on userdir in NGiNX.Updateupdate-20201126-2354Thu, 26 Nov 2020 23:54:00 +0000https://arav.su/mindflow#update-20201126-2354me@arav.su (Alexander "Arav" Andreev)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.

Recent updates.Updateupdate-20201123-0030Mon, 23 Nov 2020 00:30:00 +0000https://arav.su/mindflow#update-20201123-0030me@arav.su (Alexander "Arav" Andreev)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 I was replacing a thermal compound on my PC.Diarydiary-20201119-2251Thu, 19 Nov 2020 22:51:00 +0000https://arav.su/mindflow#diary-20201119-2251me@arav.su (Alexander "Arav" Andreev)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.

P.S.: Now it runs on 49-52°C. Nice.

Dark theme flickering fixed.Updateupdate-20201116-0010Mon, 16 Nov 2020 00:10:00 +0000https://arav.su/mindflow#update-20201116-0010me@arav.su (Alexander "Arav" Andreev)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. :)

Quick rundown on what happened since the december of the last year.Updateupdate-20200729-0000Wed, 29 Jul 2020 00:00:00 +0000https://arav.su/mindflow#update-20200729-0000me@arav.su (Alexander "Arav" Andreev)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.
