@gsuberland there’s rumblings of a box or something in the lounge.
@fastness on the one side, there isn’t much time left. On the other though, that would be bad ass.
I found a 1TB SATA SSD today and somehow it’s worth twice what it was when I bought it 5 years ago. Flash storage isn’t meant to be an appreciating asset lads.
@fesshole god forbid people have hobbies. Better to just go to the pub and get pissed every night.
@feijoa @mdione the secret to a well functioning wireless network is wires. Get some wired access points and put run ethernet/fibre to the places you want them. I like Unifi kit because it’s rock solid but really anything will be fine so long as you wire it. Mesh networks are generally snake oil which is deeply annoying to troubleshoot.
@Thayer @Psychiatrix SIP is fine for playing with the phones. DECT is more reliable but I doubt missing the odd internal call will matter at all.
@simonbtemple @info put it on the schedule as a meet up. https://www.emfcamp.org/attendee-content
We’ve just received a report from site that the current ratio of people to 3D printers in the field is 2:1. #EMFCamp
Relatedly I love the rabid enthusiasm of everyone for making things. Literally all that had to happen was the design team going “hey, let’s put some pages for stamps in the booklet” and we’ve got more stamps coming out the woodwork than a Chinese lawyer’s office. #EMFCamp
I’ve just seen the Unaffiliated Village’s stamp and all I’m going to say is that you owe yourself a visit to get one. To say any more would take away the joy of experiencing it without further information for the first time. #EMFCamp
@Workshopshed @jonty thats somehow not as reassuring as you might think (pretty sure everyone in orga by this point has had at least one nightmare in which gates open and we forgot content/tents/food/power/something else critical)
Spending my day working on "Gooseventure: The Valued Goose Game" which is the text-based adventure game I'm developing for #EMFCamp. It'll be available online after the event as freeware, but the current aim is for it to be playable in the EMF arcade next week.
@yvan get whatever Gigaset handsets are cheap on eBay, don’t worry about base stations or chargers, you’ll need neither, just slap some decent AAs in instead and you’ll be set for the weekend.
At the risk of angering the gods and a million more tasks spawning, we are two weeks out and the end of my EMF todo list is in sight. I think this might be a first, at least since I fell down the orga rabbit hole in 2018.
@gsuberland @pascoda this is the shit I love about EMF! People just going “this is a thing that I think should happen so I’ll make it happen”.
@Workshopshed by “somewhere near Leeds Hackspace” I assume you mean the actual Leeds Hackspace in Leeds given that criteria.
@CatherineFlick @jonathanhogg is it even a thing at EMF if you haven’t attached some RGB LEDs to it?
@joenash you know I’m not convinced we’ll even *need* Windows for that. The only person with exotic Windows based needs is bringing their own Windows machine.
Climbed for the first time in several weeks yesterday and my shoulders are really letting me know about it today. Don’t skip exercise for a while and then jump straight back in where you were before folks.
@TomF @JamesWidman technically yes but it can be buried somewhere in the settings menu under a mysterious option nobody but the real sickos go looking. Also if you don’t enforce it then practically anybody with someone who handles these things will do so and anyone who doesn’t will be oblivious of their obligations whatever license you choose.
I just had an ad tell me Nando’s are “shaping the future with AI”, I can only assume they mean a different Nando’s because the one I know sells chicken.
@TomF kind of depends on your objective though. Do you want to encourage as wide a use as possible, or would you like to subtly put off big corporations from using it? If the latter the wtfpl mentioned in another reply is great because all the super serious lawyers don’t like to put the word Fuck in their documentation.
