Reprising my tradition from last year I finished my post #emfcamp collage featuring lots of great stickers
Automatic plant watering machine built with bits and pieces laying around and some stuff from the #emfcamp swap shop
150,000 marched yesterday in London for trans rights. Opened the Sky News app. Scrolled and scrolled. Nothing. BBC News app. Nothing. Guardian app. Nothing. This is what actual silencing looks like.
So happy with how big badge turned out for #emfcamp, strongly considering making a spaceagon front for 2028
Check out this fantastic talk featuring live film developling at #emfcamp media.ccc.de/v/emf2026-78... by Alexander Baxevanis. Clip below features my live reaction to him mentioning that he couldn't find drivers for the film scanner I just picked up from the swap shop 😅
So happy to see them preserved for posterity, especially on a Basingstoke flag as I was a member of the maker space there a few years back!
Vic@vicharkness.bsky.social · 2w ago@hevansdev.bsky.social Just wanted to let you know that the 26g robin was honoured on our camp flag
Congratulations to everyone who found all the Leo stickers at EMF, now all his palimpsests are destroyed he can again be harmed by conventional weapons.
I'm live at #emfcamp in 30 minutes streaming.media.ccc.de/emf2026/stageb
Finally getting around to replacing the seals in this camera a friend gave me, wish me luck
Doesn’t matter what it is, please tell me honestly, how much money do you spend per month on your main hobby? I’m working on a talk and I’m curious to get a wild figure. Feel free to reply, DM or email me. 100% no judgement, just amateur data research. Boost for reach please 💖
I had a fantastic time last week at @devbcn.bsky.social: the community were amazing, the organisers were super friendly and accommodating, and we had some great conversations at the Aiven booth and after my talk. 🧵
