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.
