devs, compress your load

Some websites load an insane amount of data, and most of it is useless, please, every dev out there, it's our responsibility to try and compress all dataflow and save energy and cost. For humanity!

I have had a lot of bloat in my code as well, all the copy/paste from stackoverflow and such. If you are a dev, I'm cheering on you to get that stack compressed and having a nice optimised efficient data flow.

Respect and prosper the fundamentals; gzip, deflate, WCAG, RFC 🥳

Switch from Samsung S23 Ultra to Pixel Pro 8

I realized my Samsung phone was just being a "middleman" in my life, because I only used the phone as hardware to Android/Google mostly, not Samsung's other services, so to remove dependencies and annoying bixby and samsung products I don't use, I switched to Google Phone, and damn it's nice!

One can be nitpicky about "the best camera" and such specs between the two, but in the end a phone is a tool in the life.

All that being said; The S23 Ultra is an insane phone, it's a masterpiece of engineering. Good job Samsung, I love you too 😜

What is HÆX?

I don't know. An internet alias used by me?

The domain name was available, and it's a cool combination of "hacks" and the norwegian Æ.

It's pronounced like "hacks", as in "That dude hacks everything".

Also HEX (magic and spell casting) is pretty cool because I love games and mysteries.

All together, HÆX. Seems to describe me 😅

Internationally (where the æ is not common) the domain name can be used as xn--hx-1ia.com (Internationalized domain name)
