I year of scheinism

Original (in polish) released right at birthday, 14/06

Two days ago (A bit late I know, but anyway) first year of szwajn.net has passed. Because
of that I've decided to write what happened in that time and such crap

As written in FaK-u, this crap started as a matrix homeserver. Need for such came from
dissatisfaction with Signal which simply speakin' was piece of Electron bullshit
Being the only that had any courage and knowledge to do that I've bought a domain, did a
test Debian 11 + Argo Tunnel (ye, lack o' public IP && open ports...) installation on one
of my ol' Compaq d510 SFFs. As test got out well so I got "temporary" server, did similiar
(albeit more refined this time) installation and finally got matrix homeserver up

That "temporary server" happened to be a cheap (for 90PLN which is 'bout 20€) HP
Point-Of-Sale which got called lassie-with-a-tankgun (or shortly LSTG)
As the case is with "temporary" things, she remains till this day, still being the primary
server (though since March under name of "victoria"). Turns out she's perfect for small
sites like this one - costed me nothing, draws little power and being designed for harsh
retail environment - basically indestructible and very reliable

I always wanted to host my own mailserver and put some crap into this site, however being
behind CGNAT (one IP across multiple customers, ports blocked) prevented from the first and
for the second I had no motivation && no idea in what topic I could do content in

Later I threw matrix away because of horrible half-working python-written "server" and
both server and domain got useless. To bring some sense back into it I managed to get
long-desired connection and set up a mailserver and finally throw that Argo Tunnel crap
away. Siteh was still same as it ever was... merely a declarator of domain's existence

Nothing really changed till this March when I did general rebuild of entire network...
and of meself, heh.
Had bad time recently and, as a way to raise myself up, broke long dead / toxic relation-
ships and put some time into myself... And finally this fuckin' siteh...
It took me pretty long to realize it doesn't have to be a news feed but instead my own
lil' personal site where I put crap *I feel and when I want to*, not do something that
artifically abides to pre-defined topic. From other side, it's better late than never!
Now the hardware part: LSTG, because of my concerns towards Linux in general, had a switch
to NetBSD 10.0 and got renamed to "victoria". Also recently hired yet another half-gratis
Point-Of-Sale new server, wurstwerfer, as a off-site backup solution

So here I am. What time will do with me and szwajn.net? Hell knows...
I have few ideas for crap to write, some thingies to put into archive, servers are
reliable and self-contained and domain recently got extended by half of decade.
So let's keep bloodey goin'!
