North Halvorsen, also known by online handles ha1vorsen and Solo, is the webmaster of Halcove and its supplementary sites, like this Wiki. Halvorsen started developing this website as a pasttime, partially because they were bored, but mostly in order to archive their projects, memories, and share blog content on a website format most people are already familiar with.
North is a mobile device technician who started around 2015 modifying Nintendo handhelds, such as the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Switch. The homebrew community sprung a newfound interest in device maintenance and customisation. This interest lead to the acquisition of new skills, such as data forensics and reverse engineering for hardware and software. When it comes to electronics, I hope you can trust me to know what I'm talking about.
North uses gender-neutral pronouns exclusively, in order to avoid erroneous assumptions based on inconsistent definitions of gender. I will respect you the same way you respect me. Please don't feel free to describe me improperly just because I'm not in the same room as you.
Introduction
If it involves some form of enthusiast technology development, you can count on me to be caught up on it. To this end, I like to be inside of things and understand their history and capabilities, so that I can eventually take advantage of or produce them for myself. This isn't just limited to repairs, but also software and firmware architectural design as well, music creation, computer-aided design, and more. I appreciate the security of knowing exactly how the world around me works so there I don't run into unfortunate surprises.
I also enjoy gaming! You can always feel free to hit me up for a session of Super Smash Bros. matches or compare experiences in story-based games like OMORI.
I am a hardware collector and data hoarder as well.
Above all, my goal with this site is to have documentation about my experiences, actions, and projects - documentation that hopefully outlives me and doesn't become lost to history. I hope that isn't too much to hope for.
Contact
While centralising online identities is often considered poor practice from a privacy perspective, this site wouldn't exist if privacy was a vital concern. My personal policy is to make any of my potential shortcomings easily auditable by making my identities easily trackable. In general, my online username is primarily "ha1vorsen" for most accounts.
Discord - My username is Halvorsen. If you require urgent contact, this is the number one method to use.
Email: hal[at]halcove.com. This will be the second best method to use.
My phone number will be my third best method.
Reddit - ha1vorsen / LinkSoraZelda
Conflict Resolution
If I ever get in a conflict with you, the number one thing to keep in mind would be to highlight factual flaws in my approach, and to keep opinions and assumptions out. There's no issue for me to admit that I'm incorrect, if I can be shown that I was incorrect.
The following may seem like a rulebook or "manual", but it's really just basic steps for being a decent human being. If you know how to decent without needing to be prompted, we will get along. If you can't, then I don't have an issue reminding you to correct yourself before engaging in any further interactions. I don't believe in "special treatment" and will treat everyone with the same amount of praise or criticism that they deserve. If you act like a child, you'll be treated like one. If I have to treat you like a child despite your age dwarfing mine, or if you happen to be in some sort of "authoritative" position... do better? It is on you to be a decent person. I promise that I will take your lead. They say to treat people like how you'd want to be treated, so please try to reflect my demeanor in the same way. I will be direct in most situations, and I would appreciate your directness and truthfulness above all other qualities, namely in terms of "niceties" which I see as wasted energy. Actions speak louder than gestures.
If you show respect, there is no reason for me to be disrespectful to you. That is to say, I won't pretend to extend any angelic grace towards you just because you're in a "bad mood", which isn't an excuse to be a jerk.
With that said, I generally don't partake in niceties, but this isn't inherently disrespectful. For example, "It isn't, I'm sorry." is probably going to be truncated to "No, it isn't.". It answers the conditional question succinctly, and is rather frank communication, which helps cut out potential for misinterpretation.
I do not respond to emotional pleas as a form of persuasion. If you want me to take an action, you'll need to present a form of logical justification for it. If you actively demand me to go out of my way to help you when you've never given me the time of day or have ignored times where I've asked for similar help, search on Google for the nearest circus -- there are plenty of clowns who will take you in as one of their own.
Donations
If I've helped you in any way, and you'd like to show appreciation, there are a few methods you can use to donate via cryptocurrencies. It helps me continue to host cool sites.
My primary address is ha1vorsen.x, which accepts XRP, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.
My direct XRP ledger address is rPd4SDanuU1qDoD8jExfTbu6vv5EGnvrFg. There is no destination tag.
