Set up one of my SIP phones with the details for #EMFcamp - and it all works!
Thanks @phones ❤️

Sign in the swap shop that says "no orphaned sourced. do not leave radioactives unattended. do not supply the spider nuclear program. it has been 1 days since the furry nuclear program was dispatched"

Photo of a sign which reads "Triffid Zone - Seeds may contain <1% ambulatory carnivorous plants". It is attributed to something calling itself Exotic Mango Flavours 2024.

Just left my first #emfcamp

Stunning venue, planning, people.

Hats of to the EMF team , and everyone involved in the camp.

Couldn't have wanted to camp with a better set of 3000+ people:)

Thankyou.

🧮 EMF in numbers

The power team tells us that they have now reached 20 metric tons of cabling and distro.

How many km of cable do you think that is? And is it more or less than the length of the film reels that will be shown?

In other news, the kitchen has ordered 43kg of tofu and the arcade cabinets have 256 bolts in them.

PSA: You can filter the EMF Phonebook by device type so you can see all the available modem and fax services.

Thanks @phones 🙌

Does anyone heading to #emfcamp have a radio they don't use and want to sell? I'm not sure what I'm even asking for, but I'd like something small enough to be portable, which can take an external aerial if needed, that I can listen to as much and as wider range of stuff from around the world on.

New stuff on the #EMFCamp schedule

Text on a fabric surface reads "GEEK THINGS" in bold, colorful letters featuring a galaxy design. The background is a light, textured fabric.

@Extelec @lpbkdotnet When #EMFCamp introduces six digit numbers you'll be able to Phone A 374363 (FRIEND), which will be nice

In the meantime we'll just have to make do with Phone A 34363 (FIEND)

*Not to give anyone ideas, but the number is currently still available

More #EMFCamp mood on the streets of E15 this morning

#EMFCamp Fax2Fedi services are now also available on their forever home of 3334 (FEDI)

904192 will still work, but 3334 is so much quicker to dial - and your dialing time IS important to us!

(Think of the shenanigans you can get up to now we've saved you all that effort)

#emfcamp doing Good Work!

(This is not a gag or stunt, this is for real)

(Yes, this also has the possibility for “drunk holiday tattoos” regret)

Genuinely surprised that nobody appears to have made a silly "age verification" app for the #EMFCamp #Tildagon. Yet.

@queekusme

I spotted your wink only after I'd replied

Anyway, #EMFCamp 2028, I'll find some way to do a talk on Quantum Railways

Stuck in a pub quiz? Need some obscure knowledge about a Canadian city to out-nerd someone? Well I have the #emfcamp phone service for you! Send a fax to Halifax facts (on extension HFAX) to get a random fact about Halifax!

Anyway, getting into the #EMFCamp mood this morning

Imagine this playing really fucking LOUD from some tent at 11:00 in the morning while the sun is blazing and you're off to a talk about quantum railways or some shit

#EMFCamp

Going to create a giant physical button for #EMFCamp that is labelled "press here to give direct thanks to the organisers."

The button is not connected to anything.

By existing, it gives the organisers that precious gift of uninterrupted time to do things they need to do or - perhaps even - to take a break and do nothing for two minutes.

Equal parts alarming and exciting

When you search for "EMF phones" you do not get the #EMFCamp phones website, but you DO get some very interesting conspiracy theories about telephone manufacturers influencing election results through mind control via electromagnets in phone handsets.

Suddenly it all makes sense.

Big Phone ™ is behind EVERYTHING.

Right, that's our village registered on the #EMFCamp phone network ☎️

The number 7531 is back, and now live on #EMFCamp phone system...

So if you want to validate any #siteswap #juggling notation while you're at camp - I got you fam!

If you don't know what siteswap is?

Then you really should go see @ColinTheMathmo explain the beautiful mathematics of juggling!!

hello ^^ i have a Dutch friend seeking an #EMFcamp ticket, if anyone has a spare

🧮 EMF in numbers

It’s that time when many of us are full time on EMF and we’ve been hearing some interesting numbers from the teams.

We have ordered:
1.2 chairs per attendee
1 acre of flooring
5000 earplugs (assuming <2 ears on average)
A quarter of a ton of potatoes
Five bathtubs of milk
1 tent per 48 attendees

Since the #EMFCamp announcement about dropping Mullvad sponsorship yesterday, we've had about £500 of new Art & Installations donations, which is super cool and we're really grateful. It will go towards supporting the amazing makers who bring their weird and wonderful things to the festival.

If you have a spare few quid and love the sort of quirky stuff that appears at the festival then you can find the donations page here:

RE: https://bookstodon.com/@reconnectpress/116833481215477840

Not only did I talk my publisher into coming to EMF to sell queer books (in an official capacity!) but it's their first time at any kind of hacker/nerd festival and the person coming will be there Thu through Mon taking up volunteer shifts and getting into the spirit... please do show him and them some real #emfcamp love!

At #EMFCamp I’ll be giving a talk about lightning!
(Not to be confused with the lightning talks)

ooh!

The DJ line up has been added to the #EMFCamp schedule

The excitement builds!

Also you've now got two opportunities to come and enjoy my nonsense!

LETS 'AVE IT!!!

A very exciting package has arrived

Our final batch of #EMFCamp stickers are here

Some stickers, bearing the legend "I went to EMF and all I got was this sticker"

I have been cursed with one more #EMFCamp sticker idea

Let's see if I can get this old thing fired up again *pats bonnet of the Tildagon*

A series of miscommunications means I have an extra #emfcamp ticket, is anyone interested in it? (EDIT: actually taken, sorry!)

Hey fedi, does anyone have an #EMFCamp ticket they can't use?

I'm looking for one more to get a friend there.

I've already got feelers out a few places (including on the ticket exchange wiki page) but I'm trying all available avenues at the moment!

Let the repairs begin! Bit of patching and paint then it's good to go 👍
Now just need to avoid the stickers.
