I’d always kind of wondered what a maintenance lift looked like, and in this instance the answer is “we only raise it a little bit”

The Teenager walked past an ad for a university then turned to me and said “BSc Honse” and now i can’t not read it that way
This is like going back to when checking your email was fun and exciting, except for phones
Chaos@shed.gay · 5d agoAnswering the question of what if we had dect at home with @doop.bsky.social
Weird realisation scrolling through my feed that I know people from at least three completely different social circles who are all at the same gig
i find mastodon is more autism posting and bluesky is more adhd posting
Anyway I’m still physically exhausted but otherwise i can’t remember the last time I found an event so invigorating: lots of plans for the next one, lots of things to try differently; was great to meet up with so many lovely people!
EMF was an exhausting slog but also tremendously fun and rewarding, and the highlight of the whole event for me was @shed.gay ’s nullsector set which tested to destruction the idea that you can make anything danceable by putting a donk on it on.soundcloud.com/2FhreqIo43da...

Many Thanks to the whole null sector and extended EMF team who spent countless hours making it possible. It's also the set which I've put the most amount of upfront work into and I really hope it sh

Kat Tenbarge@kattenbarge.bsky.social · 2w agoPeople are making fun of AOC for having a slight southern accent while speaking in Memphis but they clearly don’t know the pain of habitually and unconsciously imitating the speaking style of the people around you
I am no longer reachable on DECT 😭 It’s remarkable how much more positive the experience of carrying a phone around is when you know the person on the other end is almost certainly someone else at a hacker festival
Hiya, if you’re having post-EMF discussions in the group chat for your mates/fellow villagers/whatever then PLEASE PLEASE put any useful feedback into the feedback form. It will be read by actual humans when we are caught up on sleep. grist.orga.emfcamp.org/forms/cL1XSk...

Ok so i found the phone number on a sticker and rang it and it’s every bit as good as it sounds

“Why do you love EMF?” “Well, it’s a bunch of absurdly talented people doing clever stupid things in a field” “What sort of things?” “Ummmm…..” mastodon.social/@area/116939...

Uh ok so this wasn’t Ceephax it was someone else with the same name but nonetheless an absolute banger of a talk. I guess being called Andy Jenkinson endows you with uncanny beepy music ability!

I hate the fact that this is necessary but absolutely love that someone is doing it
I am on a train that is heading towards Here-ford although at this point if some random ex-CIA guy decided to ambush me with a cup of cwoffee that would actually be pretty great
The cool but also scary thing about boats is that they eat other vehicles.
OTOH I have just set up a server to work around the traffic shaping on the wifi on this boat so i can upload visuals for someone’s DJ set, which feels very slightly more like being a proper hacker
Family visit meant once again trying to get the same minecraft world playable simultaneously for my kid (java) and my niece (bedrock/ipad) and recompiling the custom server was a doddle compared to the completely insane barriers microsoft have chucked in there for no good reason
