Welcome to my website!

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 -aitos is just an uncommon transliteration of the Ancient Greek word for eagle (ἀετός, aetos) and Hex- is from hexadecimal and also just because I thought it sounded cool.

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.

As my actual job, I make computers go brrr (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.

If you want to get in touch, look at the contact 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

This website is still very much a work-in-progress and it was last updated on the following day: 19 November 2024. I also have a blog where I will be posting things mostly about computers, games and birds (who’d’ve thunk?).

Other projects

You can also find me on bateleur.org. 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 gemini://terathopius.com or to https://terathopius.com for an HTTPS proxy of my Gemini capsule. I also have my own Gitea instance over on git.bateleur.org.

I am also running a Mastodon bot that posts a random photo of a bird of prey from Wikimedia Commons every six hours. You can find it over on @botofprey@social.bateleur.org. This bot uses the API of my website birds.bateleur.org which displays a random image whenever you visit it. More info on the API can be found on the website.
