If you hear bagpipes at #EMFCamp you can blame Sean.

GooseVenture is now LIVE in the #EMFCamp arcade! Do you want to play a text-based adventure game?

Have you ever wondered how you might value a goose?

This is the game for you. Huge thanks to @joenash and the arcade team for the hard work getting this up and running!

"Hello?"

"Are you the goose person"

"I mean..."

"Where's the goose"

We’ve see a preview of web 4.0 at #emfcamp It’s privacy enhanced with no cookie banners, no location pop ups, no notificatio requests, you can’t like or subscribe. Pages load in about a minute and they’re aggressively concise to minimise the time the user spends reading. Fabulous demo, we can’t wait for it to go mainstream.

There’s no simpler joy than watching a Dalek chase a child whilst yelling “I want to play tag!” #EMFCamp

Having a drink with my new bestie!

Thanks so much to everyone who came along to my #EMFCamp talk. I’m now in the Q&A tent for the next 20-30 mins and have books for signing if anyone would like one!

Seeing all these kids at #EMFCamp having the time of their lives and wondering how different my life might have been had I known at the age of ten that these people, this energy, exists in the world

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@leymoo/116937845717970555

I apologise for misjudging - I misunderstood the sequence of statuses on the phone status screen when I was using it to locate my last phone ping and I was a bit overwhelmed and tired last night. I’m so glad the magic of #emfcamp has not ended and yes I have my handset back ❤️💖💜🚀🔭🛰️🪩🏳️‍⚧️🌈😻

To whoever just stole my dect handset off my waist just now in null sector - I hope you never get a ticket again. #emfcamp

Edit for clarity: I was tracking it down via the phones page maybe 3-4 min after, as I’d assumed it was dropped, then watched as someone detached the phone from the number.

Edit; that might have been it was merely switched off! There is still hope, will update.

Edit: it was handed in! Emfcamp is still magic ✨

We will once again have a telescope out at Test Village from a bit after sunset (20:30) until moonset this evening, if you want to look up close at a big lump of rock! #EMFCamp

We just passed 300 players with over 1,000 duck befriending actions - and we're only halfway through #EMFCamp 🤯

Oh wow, https://duckfriend.online now has more than 250 players at #EMFCamp! You’ve befriended ducks 408 unique times, and today is already more active than the whole of Thursday was!

Queuing for a shower? Waiting for breakfast? Befriend a duck! The leaderboard is all still to play for.

All printed "receipts" will need to digitised if maker wants to preserve.

Thermal printed materials fade very quickly. No conservation techniques are currently available. Colloquially paper conservators call it cactus paper.

I’m on #EMFCamp Stage C in one hour. After that I promise I’ll stop plugging my talk.

Our afternoon talk in Stage Q is ‘5 Reasons humans take your eggs. Number 3 will shock you!’ Followed by ‘Pancakes - Friend or Foe?’. Moorhens welcome. #EMFCamp

There are three types of people at #emfcamp :

1) interesting
2) Interesting
3) INTERESTING

These are all entirely different things.

GCHQ has hundreds of checkpoints around #EMFcamp to collect. This has the side effect of making you stumble upon even more neat things.

Periodic reminder that #EMFCamp main schedule talks are (mostly) live streamed, recorded and released online to beguile and bewilder an unsuspecting world. Visit https://streaming.media.ccc.de/emf2026/ to ReLive the Streams, or watch the Released Recordings.

Thanks to everyone involved in making this happen, especially @video ​and @c3voc and the volunteers working as heralds, sound, lighting and video engineers on the stages

i have been popping stickers around in swap boxes but i've also just dropped a bunch in the middle of the bar for peeps to grab, if you want an easy place to look! #emfcamp

The Spaceagon is a thing of beauty isn’t it? I’ve tested the solar system app and that works fine on the new firmware. Also figured I should get a photo of it with the JWST hexpansions. I’ll have a very small number of these at the hexpansion thing in the night market later. @badge did you still want a set for the tent? #emfcamp
