Mmm, time for some toast! :breadbounce:

#OggCamp #OggCamp2026 #TalkieToaster #Toast

I had a good time at #OggCamp at the weekend. There were a few familiar faces, but there was a poll during the intro session where the presenter asked for how many people it was their first time, and between 25%-33% raised their hand, which made for a nice mix.

Polarian (from the XSF) wanted to give talk about Jabber / #XMPP, and I said I would help 😨 .

We originally wanted to have an XMPP stand at EMFCamp, but neither of us got tickets 😭
We managed to get some slides together which we when presented on the Sunday at OggCamp instead.

I tried to record it here: https://pt.gogreenit.net/w/7YzvYkDJVM1e5FcmnCpqkj and the slides (as you can't really see them on the video 😡) are here: https://codeberg.org/chewie/OggCamp-2026-XMPP-Talk, but the funky little USB-C wireless mics worked nicely with my phone!

Note to self for next time - reduce the contrast between the foreground and background of the slides if you want to record it with your phone...

#OggCamp #algorave? It's more likely than you'd think! Today at 1600 in breakout room 2 :aMarxParty:

There could be #nudel, #strudel and #hydra, perhaps with a sprinkling of #basil

Bringing in a bunch of Psions, a Z88 and possibly some #RC2014 to "Retro Computing - Birds of a Feather" tomorrow at 11am. Bring em if you've got 'em, or just come and play. #oggcamp

Slides from my #OggCamp #OggCamp2026 talk: #Slime, #Slop and #Sabotage

(includes bonus #tetrapod content)

The next #LightningTalk at #OggCamp was about Self-hosted Observability, using various #Grafana projects and #Prometheus etc.
Alan was using some #YAML files to provision the services via docker etc.

I didn't quite understand it all, but there's a few extra Grafana products I should check out - Alloy and Mimir.

Just heard an interesting talk about #BioPlastics by [email protected] at #OggCamp.

Alex was trying to make plastics from various materials at the Manchester HackSpace.

He was mostly using a material called Kylozin, which can make a substance called "Nacre", which has potential as a plastic replacement.

His end goal is to make an I-beam from the stuff.

#LightningTalks

I've suggested a #retroComputing BoF for tomorrow at #oggcamp2026 based on the interest of people stopping me to ask about the #appleNewton I'm note taking on today.

#oggcamp #oggcamp26

Learning a lot about fonts and language writing directions #CollaboraOffice #oggcamp2026 #oggcamp

Hmmm. Turns out my #NextCloud has #Collabora - but not the required CODE server. So the only way to demo it is to use the slow demo server.
Looks OK - but I find it baffling when Open Source projects don't have lots of demo screenshots or demo sites to play with.
No one is randomly installing a few GB of stuff just to have a play.

#OggCamp can have #Slime, as a treat (also #Slop and #Sabotage)

#OggCamp preparations intensify!

#OggCamp2026 #Fungible #Slime

Gonna bring my #appleNewton to @oggcamp

Anyone else in #uk got one to bring ? We can beam like it's 1996 ...

Has a friend, colleague or family member started behaving strangely? Are you worried they might have been recruited into a cult? :brainworms:

Come to Manchester for OggCamp 2026 on 25th/26th April, where I'll be talking about Large Language Models and generative AI :blobfoxwink:

https://talks.oggcamp.org/oggcamp-2026/talk/FYYB3V/

I'll discuss some common and not-so-common genAI failure modes, how to deprogramme people who are being sucked into the genAI cult, and some practical sabotage techniques that you can take away and use at home. While they are still legal.

Remember: Model collapse is not inevitable, but together, we can make it happen!

You are a hacker on a train, whatever that means. But what kind of train? Multiple choice #UKHackerTrainPoll :trainpats:

*Trams are also trains. And funiculars. UPDATE: And monorails, steam powered or otherwise :monorail:

If there was some kind of semi-organised UK hackers-on-a-train type meet up, how interested would you be? Further polls could occur... :trainpats:
