<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. <imgsrc="/assets/icons/buzzard.png"height="16px"width="16px"alt="An icon that combines the Greek letters theta and delta. A symbol for therianthropy."loading="lazy"></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: 20 November 2024. 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>
<dd>This is my Gemini capsule. Gemini is an alternative network protocol (like HTTP) and you will need a special browser to be able to see it. There is an HTTP proxy of my Gemini capsule that you can access through <ahref="https://terathopius.com">https://terathopius.com</a>, however.</dd>
<dd>A small website that I made that displays a random image of a bird of prey from Wikimedia Commons. It also has an API that you can send a GET request to. I am working on remaking it in Rails (it’s currently running on Sinatra).</dd>
<dd>A Fediverse / Mastodon bot that posts a random photo of a bird of prey from Wikimedia Commons every six hours. It uses the API of birds.bateleur.org to get its data. </dd>
