About
This is a project that provides some useful services for free.
I started it on January 13, 2023, to learn something new and improve my GNU/Linux skills.
We currently have five servers:

History
At the beginning of my journey, I used 1984.hosting; I bought the cheapest VPS (which cost $5 at the time), with 1GB of RAM, 25GB of disk space, 1 CPU, and 1TB of traffic on January 12, 2022. It was a pleasant experience, although the server experienced some downtime. The support was good and fast. I changed the provider because I wanted something better in terms of specs and closer to my physical location, so I chose kyun.host, which I found on kycnot.me.
I had a mixed experience with Kyun. At first, it wasn't bad; the VPS experienced downtimes, which was acceptable. However, there was one instance where the network became unusable, and I had to wait for a migration, which ultimately helped. Unfortunately, my experience with Kyun.host was eventually marred by constant DDoS attacks on the servers, which made it impossible for me to use my server for extended periods of time. In search of a better solution, I discovered Datalix.eu through monerica.com, and so far, it seems like a good choice.
I used Incognet for the bloatcat.tk domain that I bought on January 14, 2022, as it was cheap. If I were interested in continuing, I could easily buy a new domain without wasting much money. It took more than 24 hours to set up the domain, but I simply contacted their support, and everything went smoothly. I chose bloat.cat because it consists of two words: 'bloat' and 'cat'. I love cats. As for bloat, I don't particularly enjoy it :D. However, I thought it was funny and somewhat unique. To be honest, I've never had a compelling idea for something like this.
Other projects
I am also an administrator of poridge.club and its Fediverse node. It's a semi-free-speech instance with open registration and a Tor address. You can learn more about it here.
Currently, I'm working on an Ansible playbook to deploy websites like bloat.cat with services using just one or two commands and a playbook. This will automatically install Xray with VLESS + XTLS to bypass censorship.
