Hello, my name is **Dominic** and I maintain this website.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am a licensed ham radio operator since 2019 and my callsign is **OE7DRT**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
My QTH is **[Längenfeld]**, [Tyrol], [Austria]. The locator for that is [JN57lb].
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is currently no antenna set up at my home QTH so I operate portable only
|
|
|
|
|
|
since the end of 2021---I've not been very active recently but I'm sure my new
|
|
|
|
|
|
lightweight equipment can help me out on that matter.

Have a look at the pages under [/equipment/]({{< ref "/equipment/" >}}) for
|
|
|
|
|
|
an overview of the equipment that I use (or have used/had). :wink:

## What's up?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I publish new articles whenever time let me do it. As I am working 10h shifts a
|
|
|
|
|
|
day on a building site I am quite worn at the end of the day and I can't gather
|
|
|
|
|
|
myself up enough to go out in the field when I'm just hungry (and tired)
|
|
|
|
|
|
:tired_face:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I do not have an antenna set up at my home QTH so my experience relies on my
|
|
|
|
|
|
portable operations here.

## About this website
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
My website is a **personal storage** of a set of information about many
|
|
|
|
|
|
**different things**---mostly about **amateur radio** and **linux**'isch
|
|
|
|
|
|
computer stuff. The main goal of my blog is for my **personal usage**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
That is because some articles may not explain everything---I hope I can
|
|
|
|
|
|
reproduce a working setup (for me) with all the steps provided in these articles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I could have saved some links in my bookmarks, right? Well, I have. But I do
|
|
|
|
|
|
that now for a long time and it sometimes happens, that one or another link
|
|
|
|
|
|
becomes unavailable and hosting my own set of information does not result in
|
|
|
|
|
|
these situations in any way. As long as I'm willing to host them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can **use** the **information** on these pages for **yourself**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Just keep in mind, that some of them may **not be objective** or even accurate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The opposite is true. I fill them with **my opinions and experiences**; some
|
|
|
|
|
|
with solutions---some not.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
_Also, keep in mind that the information on my websites could go offline at
|
|
|
|
|
|
any time (although it is online since 2019)_.

### Statistics
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Google Analytics (evil) and Microsoft Clarity (much evil) are common
|
|
|
|
|
|
statistic-plugins for your website. I've tried both as well as matomo. They
|
|
|
|
|
|
have one thing in common: they collect data, that I personally wouldn't want
|
|
|
|
|
|
to be collected from me. And what you don't want to be done to you…
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Luckily I found the website of
|
|
|
|
|
|
[Fathom Analytics](https://usefathom.com/ref/CQWXMA). They collect statistics
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. GDPO compliant and
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. they do not collect so much "useless" data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Please do not send me guest articles. This is not a tech magazine but **my

|
|
|
|
|
personal website**.

## Server location and networking
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The webserver, which converts my website's git repository into
|
|
|
|
|
|
static html files is located in **Finland**. The domain is registered
|
|
|
|
|
|
at `name.com`, which points my domain to nameservers at **Cloudflare**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
My website is also **cached** and **distributed** by the Cloudflare
|
|
|
|
|
|
network.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
That is also true for my personal single-user instance of Mastodon, which is
|
|
|
|
|
|
located at [fedi.oe7drt.com](https://fedi.oe7drt.com)---except there are a few
|
|
|
|
|
|
more modifications done at Cloudflare because I do not host the media files
|
|
|
|
|
|
on my server but in a
|
|
|
|
|
|
[B2 bucket at backblaze](https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage.html).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cloudflare rewrites a few headers and URLs in this case. For example: the
|
|
|
|
|
|
`Cache-control:` gets expanded to a high value at Cloudflare as well as the
|
|
|
|
|
|
`etag` gets generated at Cloudflare in case the original file changes at
|
|
|
|
|
|
backblaze before the cached file gets removed from your (actually my) cache.
