You have until 2pm tomorrow to order a Tildagon badge - after that, we can't guarantee that there will be any more available until 2026!

Order your badge here: https://www.emfcamp.org/tickets/badge

This badge will be reusable at the next EMF and beyond. You can read more about our new approach to badges on the blog: https://blog.emfcamp.org/2024/03/18/tildagon/

We urgently need more @emf sponsors - if we do not secure more, we will have to make tough decisions.

Tickets cover base costs, but sponsors pay for lovely things like our free childcare and talk transcription. Every little helps!

I made something to watch the 2024 eclipse remotely!

This is every public webcam in the path of totality, with a live-updating view of the umbra.

Since it’s @emf ticket sale day, it’s a good time to mention that EMF is in part funded by sponsorship! If you would be interested in helping make EMF happen, or know someone who might be, (most of) the details can be found at https://emfcamp.org/sponsor.

Contact details on that page, but you can also reach out to me here, or get us via the EMF IRC. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions!

#emfcamp fans, boosting this post would be much appreciated 💖

Hello!

It's me again: Your yearly reminder that drives fail, SSDs bitrot, and you probably need to do a review of your backup strategy. You should have at least two copies of anything you care about.

This message brought to you by a second drive in my ZFS array failing while the first one was still rebuilding. Happy holidays.

Inspired by @pnorman’s animation, here’s a year of daily OpenStreetMap tile traffic. One frame per UTC day, from the start of September 2022 through end of August 2023. It’s from the public log aggregates, so some low-traffic tiles are left out for (I assume) efficiency and privacy.

A visualization of tile traffic data. It takes the form of a translucent-seeming world map, colored roughly by affluence or online-ness, with a wide variety of transient artifacts and odd features like yacht races moving around the oceans.
