Everyone who is able to come back to #WHY2025, we are short-staffed on teardown volunteers, so *please* show up to help, either today (during daylight) or tomorrow. Given the shortage, even if this toot was a couple of hours ago by the time you read it, it will probably still be necessary, so please show up!
Back at #why2025 I met some wonderful people with whom we're now launching dotmeow. We're a group of queer hackers, organisers and builders who want to make this in-joke between some friends come true: A gTLD by and for the queer community. Community-run, community-supported and giving back community support.
We won't solve the issues trans and queer people are facing that way. But maybe we can contribute a little and have fun as we go!

Thought about starting a version for hacker camps, Harmonic Ancient Cosmic Kinetics, aiming for #why2025 was too soon... https://mastodon.scot/@ultrazool/113384772703696422
One completed #WHY2025 tetrapod. This might be comforting in a similar way to a weighted blanket (it weighs >2kg). Or it might be useful for managing extremely localised soil erosion
The slides of my talk at #WHY2025 "Safeguarding Research & Culture: Save public data from the digital bookburnings!" are now online:

Recording should be available in the coming days.

Last week I participated in the quadrennial large Dutch hacker camp, #WHY2025. It was a blast.
It's interesting how many ways there are to experience it: I helped organize in the Info team, hung out at the #NixOS Village, gave a talk about the IT infrastructure at Museum @EICAS , went into a rabbithole debugging the Linux kernel (more on that in a separate toot), joined jamsessions, caught some talks, met many interesting folks, and much more. Serious topics (like voting systems, global politics and security) mix with more lighthearted fun (Flamethrowers, Faxe Kondi and heaps of colorful LEDs). From the 40th anniversary of @phrack to teenagers finding their own way.
I think what unites us all is the sense of curiosity and creativity.

Eindelijk wat serieuze aandacht voor de idiote #chatcontrole-plannen bij Eenvandaag.
De @EUCommission wil al onze chatberichten scannen nog voor verzonden zijn. '
China verbleekt erbij en het is bovendien in strijd met ons grondwettelijk briefgeheim
Mylene Tabernal van @voltnederland en #DefenceForChildren is voor deze plannen.
Bert Hubert @bert_hubert is tegen, net als de @Piratenpartij, die aandacht kreeg in het #nosjournaal.
If you can't do that or you have no good idea: don't do it. There is no pressure on anyone to deliver a "badge" at a hacker event. It is a non-tradition.
Also: where is the creativity here? Hacker scenes find themselves to be super-creative (and they are) but often they fail to think from the user to the device not vice versa.
If you start with technology you will end up with technology. but there is no value in it itself.
Instead start with a problem and then solve it.
Morgen op TV, straks om 16:30 op de radio, nu al artikel EN filmpje online (onderaan), vol met #why2025 beelden inclusief de vuilniswagen van @synq! Verder wel een heel serieus onderwerp natuurlijk: https://eenvandaag.avrotros.nl/artikelen/toenemende-steun-voor-eu-wetsvoorstel-chat-control-tegen-online-kindermisbruik-maar-ook-zorgen-controleren-van-prive-appjes-is-ernstige-privacyschending-161053
