Excluding, say, here or the fediverse more broadly.
There have been some nice corners of the internet that have somehow kept going along their way that I’ve enjoyed lurking around like some alien observer. They are the few spaces I dare not pop in and ask, out of fear it would somehow break things.
All the Chaos Computer Events are like a different dimension. You can leave your laptop somewhere unattended and the worst thing that may happen to it, is that someone plugs it in to charge.
Going by the title it sounded like a place where you can destroy a laptop in different ways - smashing, falls, crush, blender.
I heard about CCC all the way in my UK university! Wish we had something that big in the UK. I remember beards, lots of beards!
EMF Camp is the UK equivalent. A lot smaller, but still 3500 geeks in a field.
Well… beards and dresses. Maybe some cat ears. It’s often very diverse (as in LGTBQ+)
