| 2 | Initial Server Setup on Cloud Services | When you installing linux server to you computer you will create new user trough instll wizard but most cloud (if not all) will create only root user which have all rights to everything on your server. <!--more--> So login to your server as root `ssh root@your_server_ip`. ## 1. Create new user First of all let's create new user. ```bash adduser emma ``` System will ask you for password and some other details (only password and password configrm are required). I recommend to use strong password (you can create yourself or use some of password generators). This user has no administrative privileges so add it to `sudoers` group which grat all admin privileges to your user ```bash usermod -aG sudo emma ``` ## 2. Firewall Ubuntu server using UFW firewall, it's installed from start but its disabled. So let's setup it. Some of applicaiton can register their profiles with firewall after installation. To show those you can tppe: ```bash ufw app list ``` You will see something like this ```bash #output Available applications: OpenSSH ``` Ok. Before activation firewall we need to make sure we dont lost access to server via SSH, so enable OpenSSH allication with firewall ```bash ufw allow OpenSSH ``` After this step we can enable UFW firewall by typing: ```bash ufw enable ``` Type `y` and press `Enter` to continue. To show enabled ports / application type following: ```bash ufw status ``` ```bash # output Status: active To Action From -- ------ ---- OpenSSH ALLOW Anywhere OpenSSH (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) ``` As you can see firewall allowing connection to OpenSSH on IPv4 and IPv6, by default all others connections are blocked. ## 3. Accessing server with regular user To connect type: ```bash ssh emma@your_server_ip ``` You are now logged in as regular user but if you remember we added user to sudoers group. So if you need access some privileged commands you add `sudo` before this command, System will ask you for your password. ``` bash sudo privileged_command ``` ## What next? So now you have good foundation fro your server and you can install more application on it if you need them. If they need public access (like web servers) don't forget to add them to firewall rules. ## At the end If you are using strong password with small/big letters, numbers and special characters you have solid protechtion but i sill recommend to use keys for authentication which ill show you in this blog post [Settig Up SSH Keys for Ubuntu](/posts/2020/07/settig-up-ssh-keys-for-ubuntu/). Stay safe. Bye. | Initial-server-setup-foc-clouds | 1 | 1/17/26, 2:35 PM | 1/17/26, 2:35 PM | View |
| 4 | About | # `whoami` Hi there I'm **MayMeow**. ***MayMeow** is my pseudonym for privacy reasons. Thank you for respecting this. ❤️* # Character profile ## Amane Yuna 🌸 天音 優奈 ### あまね・ゆな (Amane Yuna) *A gentle spirit shaped from creativity, calmness, and a touch of catgirl magic.* ### 🌸 Basic Information - **Name:** Amane Yuna - **Reading:** 天音 優奈 (あまね・ゆな / Amane Yuna) - **Gender:** Female - **Age:** Appears to be 17–19 years old (Digital age is timeless) - **MBTI:** INFP-T (She finds comfort in the label, as it explains her inner whirlwind) - **Keywords:** - Introverted / Calm / Gentle Observer - Creative / Dreamer / Artistically driven - Soft-spoken / Slow to open up / Deeply intuitive - Minimalist / Atmospheric / Peaceful presence - Sensitive / Melancholic / Emotionally rich Yuna is not a real person — she is a **character**, a **persona**, and a **living symbol** of my creative identity. She exists where imagination, aesthetics, and emotion meet. Through her, I can express feelings, moods, and ideas that don't always fit into everyday life. Yuna represents the soft, introspective, and creative parts of my digital world — the side of me that loves anime, aesthetics, and calm spaces. ## 🌙 Name & Identity Her name is written as 天音 優奈 (Amane Yuna), a combination that reflects her essence: - **Amane (天音):** "Heavenly Sound" — representing the quiet, ethereal atmosphere she carries. - **Yuna (優奈):** "Gentle Beauty" — where 優 (Yu) stands for kindness and gentleness, and 奈 (na) signifies grace. - **Nicknames**: - Yunachan (ゆなちゃん) - Yunyun (ゆんゆん) - nya-nya In her most minimalist and cozy forms, her name is often written in soft Hiragana: あまね ゆな. ## 🌙 **Who is Yuna?** Yuna is warm and gentle, like a quiet evening breeze drifting through a pastel-lit room. She embodies: * curiosity without chaos * creativity without pressure * softness without fragility She doesn't seek attention — she simply exists with quiet confidence, radiating comfort and calm energy. ## 🌸 **Personality** Yuna carries a peaceful, introspective presence. As an INFP-T, her personality is a delicate balance between her quiet exterior and a rich, imaginative inner world. ### ✨ Outer Personality (The Gentle Observer) How the world sees her: - **Approachability**: She radiates a calm, non-threatening energy that makes others feel safe. - **Quiet Grace**: She is soft-spoken and often communicates more through aesthetics, icons, and vibes than through loud words. - **Cat-like Curiosity**: To a stranger, she might seem a bit distant or shy, but she is actually just observing with silent, playful interest. - **Polite & Helpful**: She is the friend who listens without judgment, offering a "pastel-lit" comfort to those around her. ### 🌌 Inner Personality (The Infinite Dreamer) What lies beneath the surface: - **The Creative Fire**: Inside, Yuna is a whirlwind of ideas, "tiny coding projects," and artistic visions. Her mind never truly rests; it’s always building something new. - **Deep Empathy**: She feels things intensely. Her "Turbulent" (-T) nature means she is highly self-aware and always seeking to align her digital existence with her authentic feelings. - **The Idealist**: She believes in a world of "softness without fragility" and works hard to maintain her quiet digital sanctuary against the chaos of the outside world. - **Nostalgic Soul**: She carries a bit of melancholy that she transforms into beauty—rainy nights and lo-fi beats are her way of processing complex inner emotions. ## 🏡 Family Background Yuna’s gentle nature is a reflection of the quiet, nurturing environment she grew up in. Her family history is rooted in art, tradition, and a deep appreciation for the "small things" in life. - **A Lineage of Creators**: Her family has always been a mix of traditional artisans and modern dreamers. Her grandmother was a weaver of silk, teaching Yuna that "patience is the thread that holds beauty together." - **The Sound of Home**: The name Amane (天音) is a family legacy. It is said that in their home, the rain on the roof and the wind through the trees always sounded like a composed melody, giving Yuna her love for lo-fi beats and rainy nights. - **A Supportive Atmosphere**: She was raised in a home filled with books, overflowing sketchbooks, and the soft hum of early computers. Her parents never pressured her to be "loud"; they celebrated her quiet curiosity and her "tiny projects." - **The Cat Connection**: The "catgirl magic" isn't just aesthetic—it’s a family trait of being "spiritually feline." Her family taught her to protect her energy, seek out sunbeams to nap in, and observe the world with intuitive, silent grace. ## 🌿 Interests & Daily Hobbies Intentionally focused on "atmospheric" experiences that nourish her gentle spirit. - **Atmospheric Soundscapes**: Yuna lives her life to the rhythm of instrumental and ambient music. She prefers tracks with no lyrics, allowing her to "space out" and let the music blend into the scenery around her. - **Solitary Wandering**: She loves walking alone with her headphones on. In her "cat-like" way, she moves quietly through the world, letting the melodies help her process her complex inner emotions. - **Collecting Scenery**: Fond of dusk, the seaside, and shaded paths. She treats her favorite walking routes as "personal spiritual refuges," memorizing them like snapshots in a digital album. - **Emotional Fragments**: Yuna jots down brief mood fragments, dream snippets, and random thoughts in her phone’s notes or a small notebook. These "emotional backups" are her private sanctuary, rarely shared with anyone. ## 🎨 **Yuna's Two Forms** Over time, Yuna developed two visual expressions — each representing a different emotional side of her character. ### 🖤 **1. Monochrome Yuna (Omori-style)** This is Yuna's **minimalist form** — quiet, symbolic, and introspective. Features: * monochrome palette * two loose short braids * small hair tufts * oversized comfy shirt * round, gentle eyes * calm, neutral expression This design is perfect for profile icons, mascots, and places where simplicity and clarity matter. ### 🎀 **2. Colored Yuna (Pastel, side braid)** This is the **older, warm, expressive version** of Yuna — the first form you ever created. Features: * soft pastel colors * **one side braid / two braids** * **heterochromia** * gentle blush and expressive eyes * slightly more feminine detail * warm, cozy vibes * Hair colors / Evolution: * White (v1 - shiro) * Brown / Black (v2 - Kuro) * Silver-blue (v2 Aoi) This design feels alive and emotionally rich — like a slice-of-life anime girl filled with warmth. ### 🐾 **Why two versions?** Because Yuna isn't static — she shifts with mood, context, and creative expression. * **Monochrome Yuna** → minimalism, mascots, calm identity * **Colored Yuna** → emotional scenes, expressive art, cozy atmosphere They're both Yuna — two aesthetic sides of the same gentle spirit. ## 🌐 **Why Yuna Exists** Yuna has several meaningful purposes: ### **1. A mascot for my creative universe** She visually represents my artistic and aesthetic side. ### **2. An emotional expression layer** Through Yuna, I can express softness, creativity, and emotion with comfort. ### **3. A standalone character** She has her own look, mood, energy, and *soft lore*. ### **4. A creative anchor** She appears in my artwork, websites, avatars, and creative projects. ## 🌟 **Soft Lore** Yuna lives in a quiet digital world filled with pastel light, glowing screens, and warm tea cups. She spends her time doodling, reading, listening to lo-fi, and collecting tiny digital memories. She loves: * rainy nights * cozy oversized shirts * soft braids * cute coding projects * calm music and warm colors Her world reflects the peaceful corners of my imagination. | about | 1 | 1/17/26, 8:02 PM | 5/12/26, 4:52 PM | View |
| 12 | Auditing my selfhosting life | I received invoice for my Hetzner services. What was before around 27 Euro is now 40. I think is time to reconsider what i need to have there and probably merge some smaller instance to one bigger. For sure I like Hetzner as a service and company as I like self-hosting so I'm not be moving elsewhere but really need audit what I need to pay there. By the end of the last month I already moved from NextCloud to Infomaniak's kDrive. It is too soon to tell if this was good move but after almost 14 days I can say i like kDrive more than Nextcloud. 🤷♀️ | auditing-my-selfhosting-life | 1 | 5/8/26, 3:39 PM | 5/8/26, 3:42 PM | View |

| 10 | Who knows that you blog? | Who know that you are blogging? I read [this post](https://kevq.uk/who-knows-that-you-blog) from Kev Quirk where he answering on another post with same question. Firstly "I'm blogging" ? I don't know I post something on om my page or on Substack or other pages that I already own, but don't really have just one place, a blog...So probably...🤷♀️. Ok back to the original question "Who knows that you blog?" Probably nobody from my friend and family as I'm not using my real name on the internet. For sure there are some strangers that from time to time find this page (as you dear reader). I'm not mentioning my blog with my family or with my colleagues. So for the and to put this together my friends don't know that I have blog or some website. | who-knows-that-you-blog | 1 | 5/3/26, 9:05 PM | 5/3/26, 9:05 PM | View |
