I do not have an antenna set up at my home QTH so my experience relies on my
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
portable operations here in this mountainous region. I enjoy some walks every
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
now and then but I can't carry my 16 to 18 kilograms portable equipment always
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with me---specially not after a work shift.

So that is the reason that my website grows very slowly, I haven't even found

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the time to write something nice about my used

|
|
|

For now, I only own some handheld radios for VHF/UHF so I do not reach
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
those repeaters from my terrace. I can sometimes open the first two repeaters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I scan those repeaters when I'm hiking and I can sometimes hear them, but they
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
are mostly around <kbd>S0</kbd> to <kbd>S1</kbd> combined with a lot of noise
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and when I try to reply I won't get picked up so easy (still 5W).

### 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.

## 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.
