About me

Hi, I am Hexaitos (but please just call me "Hex"). I also like light-heartedly calling myself Hex the Archivist, as I tend to keep records and files of everything that is important to me.

My interests are quite varied. I like working with computers (especially Unix-derived systems, currently on EndeavourOS and Fedora on my main PCs) 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, reading, listening to rather obscure music, Pokémon and a bunch of other things, depending on what I am currently fixated on.

I am also very interested in older things and can often be found reading old books (been reading a lot of German stuff from the Middle Ages as of late) or watching old shows! 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 work as as systems and network administrator at a small ISP.

Projects

I am not really a programmer but I have worked on a bunch of things before. My biggest project to date is Theriodex, an open-source Pokédex written in Ruby with Sinatra. It also has a Pokémon guessing game will probably get a bunch more features over time!
