<p>Hello and welcome to my website ^v^ My name is Hexaitos (or just Hex). I am a bateleur eagle from Germany and I live in a mystical city that is rumoured not to exist. Also, because this has shocked some people before, my name does actually have a meaning! The <q><i>-aitos</i></q> is just an uncommon transliteration of the Ancient Greek word for eagle (ἀετός, aetos) and <q><i>Hex-</i></q> is from hexadecimal and also just because I thought it sounded cool. {% include emoticons/buzzard %} </i></p>
<p>I like working with computers (especially Linux, currently on EndeavourOS) and networks, playing (video) games, learning languages (I speak German, Swedish and English pretty well and know a good chunk of Ancient Greek), taking photos and a bunch of other things, depending on what I am currently fixated on. I, obviously, also really like birds with birds of prey being my favourite – but any bird is good. I also want to get into VR soon-ish. I am also a big fan of FOSS and self-hosting things.</p>
<p>As my actual job, I make computers go <i>brrr</i> (well, sometimes at any rate). I currently (October 2024) work as as systems and network administrator. I am trying to find a new place, though, because the company I currently work at is a bit… eh, to say the least. </p>
<p>If you want to get in touch, look at the <ahref="contact.html">contact</a> page! You can find me on plenty of websites or just send me an email – I am always happy to talk to new people! I don’t usually bite. Unless you want me to >:3</p>
<p>This website is still very much a work-in-progress and it was last updated on the following day: {{ 'now' | date: "%-d %B %Y"}}. I also have a <ahref="blog.html">blog</a> where I will be posting things mostly about computers, games and birds (<i>who’d’ve thunk?</i>).</p>
<p>You can also find me on <ahref="https://bateleur.org">bateleur.org</a>. At the moment, it is simply a mirror of hexaitos.com but hosted entirely at home. Additionally, you can find me on Gemini as well. Just go to <ahref="gemini://terathopius.com">gemini://terathopius.com</a> or to <ahref="https://terathopius.com">https://terathopius.com</a> for an HTTPS proxy of my Gemini capsule. I also have my own Gitea instance over on <ahref="https://git.bateleur.org">git.bateleur.org</a>.</p>
<p>I am also running a Bluesky / Mastodon bot that posts a random photo of a bird of prey from Wikimedia Commons every six hours. You can find it over on <ahref="https://birds.town/@botofprey">@botofprey@birds.town</a> and <ahref="https://bsky.app/profile/botofprey.bsky.social">@botofprey.bsky.social</a>. Both of these bots use the API of my website <ahref="https://birds.bateleur.org">birds.bateleur.org</a> which displays a random image whenever you visit it. More info on the API can be found on the website.</p>
