Just discovered that I can get dry ice from Leicester. Should I put the Americium-241 from the #emfcamp orphan source incident in a cloud chamber and video it before I return the sources to the manufacturer?

Today in making everyday life more like #EMFCamp, the Jontyverse beckons...
Should anyone be interested in this #EMFCamp #Tildagon badge case...
This is the original case design, I have used only the main hinge from here as the rest comes from the remixes below: https://www.printables.com/model/921786-tildagon-tildacase/comments
This is the base (and modified clip) that I used with the USB-hole, I fettled this slightly for my second print tho (as per my comment on this print): https://www.printables.com/model/947947-tildagon-tildacase-with-in-case-usb-c
And I used this for the top-cover as it gives the extra space to fit my top cover: https://www.printables.com/model/940651-tildagon-tildacase-fits-badge-with-both-bumpers
It works very well, there's a little extra height in there and I may add some padding to the inside top/bottom.

Hi, I'm me.
Made case for my #EMFCamp #Tildagon! Not my own design, it is thanks to the hard work of other folks and merely #3DPrinted by me, combining parts from three designs on Printables in order to fit my Tildagon with the bumper/cover that I designed on it, as well as accommodate a USB-C cable. I fettled the bottom case design slightly myself for the second print for Kat’s so it can take a USB connector without raising the tildagon off the case bottom. (That’ll be finished printing in about 30 minutes.) I still need to print the clips for Kat's, and I need to get some sort of 1.8mm rod/pins to hold them together, using drill-bits for now!
I also made a major step in my #allotment raised bed and greenhouse corner stakes by finally spending the time at the drill-press to drill the needed screw holes. Been procrastinating on that for weeks. They just need a clean and a bit of paint to inhibit rust now. (There’s no kill like overkill.)
Hello nice fedi.
My impression of the last few hackercamps I've attended is that they''ve become Queer As Fuck, and hurrah for that.
However, I've only been paying attention for a few years, and I'd like to gather thoughts/ideas/stories from other people. Maybe even for a talk at one camp or another.
Help?
I had to reflash my tildagon today because it kept crashing (too fast to see the error message). On v1.8.0 now.
But I can no longer set the wifi details. Trying through the webflasher doesn't update settings. Trying through mpremote doesn't update settings. And either I can't open settings.json, or it's empty. I can't even do it manually because I can't find the numbers in the menu.
Anyone know what's going on?
@futurebird We had a booth like that at EMF Camp this year. It was vey popular, and a lot of donated ‘junk’ got snapped up by people who thought they could use it.

Has planning for #EMFCamp 2028 started yet?
And so it starts... First volunteer kitchen team meeting for EMF is in the diary.

At #emfcamp I was tasked with sticking together the slides for the lightning talks for ease of speaker changeover. One of the talks had about 150 slides, that's 1 every 2 seconds for a 5 minute talk! Surely a mistake, I thought.
I've just seen the result and it's great, high density, stuff:

Finneeee. It’s not like I don’t want to do it.
This one goes out to all my #emfcamp pals: I’m mulling a project which would require sourcing a bunch (as many as possible) of used / scavenged 7-segment LCD displays. Where would you hunt for such things?
Yes I will next have to write or record a piece on what the Labour bill that’s passed the other week really does to uk railways, and which parts differ from my talk! #emfcamp
Oh, my #emfcamp video is up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBKrFXzx2X4
Want to hear me go on for a WHOLE 30 minutes about British Rail Privatisation and not even scratch the surface! I also added some fare hacks, because hacking is about understanding how it works in order to subvert it, and most of the fare hacks are byproducts of the organisational structures and relationships :D
Randomly noticed that the EMFCamp phone book was online while having my lunch, which means I could update my local VoIP server to have the correct and proper number for my own "Where is Tom Scott?" extension
This is not the first lock I have ever picked, I raked the odd padlock back in highschool and used to "crack" code locks for fun back then but never got properly into lockpicking and haven't done it since then (like 30 years ago)... kinda want to buy a proper set of picks and practice on proper padlocks. I regret never making it to #EMFCamp #lockpicking village... hoping to fix that in 2026!
I demo'd something at #BCLxiii that I was thinking of doing for #EMFcamp.
