Last year at #WHY2025 I sat under the right canopy at the right time. The EMF badge people approached Arturo182 to design a keeboard hexpansion, which he sadly had to decline. But I sat there saying:
"maybe I can design something" 👉👈
Two prototypes, one job termination and a new friend @sodoku (who wrote the firmware) later and we somehow ended up here: an official hexpansion for you to get for EMF camp.
:BoostOK: ORDER NOW

two (2) whole interaction-free days of wheel-spinning, nose-following, generally doing a little bit of a lot of stuff <3
a background task is to get a couple of things together for the #emfcamp CfP...
Who knows if they'll accept "Synthercise, the chiptune dance fitness experience" again, but it's fun to do, @discontinuity seems to be up for co-teaching, and most of the effort has already been made, including new tracks added for #why2025
Yes i did say at the time "I never want to hear this tune again", but my tic80 cover version of Dolly Parton's "9 to 5" is unstoppable

Spent some time this monday preparing the machine including installing 2.11BSD to the M2322 hard drive, as my DIY disk emulator showed some reliability issues at #why2025 . I'm still in the process of applying the latest updates to the system, as rebuilding kernels and part of the userland on a 1MB RAM, less than 1 MIPS system takes a fair bit of time.
Once I'm done updating the system, it will be at patch level 499 - the latest available for #211bsd , released on January 14th 2026!
If you want to play around with this system, visit the open day at RevSpace The Hague next saturday:
https://revspace.nl/OpenDag2026I will be attaching a few physical terminals to it (including a VT55 and VT100!) as well as allowing telnet from the local network.
Besides this, if you do visit and want to trade PDP-11 parts, I have a large collection of mostly QBUS cards that I want to part with, and am looking for PDP-11/84 (PMI) and PDP-11/44 (EUB) memory boards as well as spare CPU cards for the /44.

CW: mentioning cum
Look, I get what they were trying to do with the black-on-black print on the #WHY2025 merch, but at first glance, it almost always looks like cum stains.
Provides some amount of plausible deniability though … 🤔

I just got myself a #WHY2025 Badge and I can’t get the up arrow and enter key to work. Other keys (down, a, esc) work like expected. It works when I unscrew the top plate and move the rubber keyboard ever so slightly, but when I try to assemble the badge like that the screw holes are not aligned and aligning breaks the functionality again. I also looked if the membrane was dirty or misaligned, but it seems to be clean (especially underneath) and aligned to the frame printed on the PCB. I’m a bit lost. Some of the keys work like a charm. Anyone got a similar problem and found a solution?

Missed #39C3
I remeber #WHY2025 hacker vibes
I'm posting to Mastodon + BlueSky + Farcaster + Nostr + mainstream platforms so that my content is less likely to be deleted.
Missing the times with singular version of reality.
Now multipolar world order.
Here are 20 images that tell a story: https://planetarycouncil.org/payload/

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:
Spamming some hashtags, boosts welcome! :blobfoxwink:

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:

To anyone who wants to bring their why2025 badge to 39c3, don't forget to bring your antenna. If you don't have yours anymore, I am bringing a few kits with an antenna and connector (thanks to @a51c ).
I have 7 of them with a half-decent antenna for €6, and 2 of them with a the original badge antenna for €3.
The LoRa module on the badge also requires two bodge wires to be soldered. Two pieces of wire and instructions are included in the kits.
On some badges it may be required to remove some epoxy around one of the battery holders, and even if it isn't, it may make soldering the bodge wires easier. You may also want to make your badge safer and more compact by removing the battery holders entirely.
I am also bringing some epoxy removal kits for free (they're just alcohol wipes and disposable vinyl gloves).

After implementing an #RC5 infrared protocol prototype on the #MCH2022 badge and succesfully tweaking the frequency to 38kHz (because my Marantz apparently doesn't like the official 36kHz), it turns out that the infrared emitter on the #Badge is underpowered:
only from about 30cm does it read my signals 😩 -- not so useful for a remote 😂
Back to the drawing board.
(BTW: The helpful #FlipperZero could use an IR-read-RAW-always mode improvement.)
