whoami
I am hex, short for hexlocation.
My overall interests are reverse engineering, networking, linux system administration, and last but not least software development. I also enjoy refurbishing old laptops and electronics (like my Atari 1040ST).
You'll usually see me experimenting with my homelab, creating websites like this, or trying assembly for no reason at all. I just do that sometimes. I am not neat in my work at all. A bit chaotic even. But unless I discover something very interesting to me, I try to be neat, both online and offline. I fail miserably at it, but hey, I'm just an unemployed teenager with too much time on his hands so...
In recent years I have gotten more interest in the theoretical side of computers and computer history, which is mostly why I do not have many public projects. I haven't been doing too much hackery anymore, because I am always trying to learn something. I want to do more of them though.
My interest in computer (science)/internet history consists mostly of finding old 90's/2000 websites and exploring them, seeing what everything was like, reading old (IRC) chat logs, but also the more well-known stuff e.g. older hardware (like my Atari ST), or reading about old algorithms designed by 80 year old mathematicians.
Finally, I think the Internet should be a free place for all to enjoy and write things on, not some locked ecosystem controlled by Google like they did with e-mail. After all, if I did not have access to a free internet, I wouldn't be here, having learned all the things I have.
I am always open to discussion. In fact, all of my contact details are down here somewhere! I try to maintain respect at all times, since we are hoomans after all, and we all make mistakes. Some bigger than others. You should try the same :)! If you don't like me, if there's something wrong with my website, you have suggestions on what to host, or you just want to talk to someone, I'm pretty much always available!
projects
iwakura.rip (formerly penhub.nl & clatter.cc) is basically the domain I use for my homelab. I host services for myself and friends on there, and also try to provide hosting space and resources for them if they need. The domain is obviously inspired by Serial Experiments Lain.
Cursed blogging engine I wrote in TypeScript a while ago. I reaallyy want to rewrite it in Nim, and make a frontend that's actually good. I don't really enjoy making frontends though...
My personal cheatsheets which I use on the daily. These are cheatsheets about a variety of topics like e.g. (Postgre)SQL I haven't been updating them too much though. If you see any mistakes, send patches to my e-mail! :)
