hi again #FediFriends 👋 does anyone know of any #tailors / #sewers or online services in #Canberra (or elsewhere in Aus) that can re-do a #tshirt #neckline & insert a proper elasticsted neckband? pls #boost4reach thx (1/3)

the #SurvivalDay / #SovereigntyDay march in #Kamberri / #Canberra is happening from nowish in Garema Place, Civic – if you’re able to get down please come & join us 🖤💛❤️ ✊ #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe #InvasionDay #CBR #AustraliaDay 🚫

I’m off to #everythingOpen! See you later Melbourne! The maskless photo was taken before everyone else boarded. #wearAMask

safely made it to Canberra for #EverythingOpen, volunteer briefing has been survived, and i have spent the rest of the day catching up with friends i don’t get to see often. and got to spend the train trip down chatting to Jack and living vicariously thru a train nerd xD

Keynote at #everythingopen #eo2016 is Kylie McDevitt talking about IoT security standards and how devices are evaluated. It’s not hard to avoid poor practices. You can watch this conference online for a small fee, btw, see https://2026.everythingopen.au/

Huge thanks to @everythingopen.au for inviting me to open the conference. A genuinely thoughtful, engaged community, great conversations, and a reminder of why openness, understanding, and sharing still matter so much. Big appreciation to the volunteer team who made it all happen. #everythingopen

I'm on day 2 of the #everythingopen conference in Canberra. Good talks so far and I'm meeting and talking to lots of people.

Just got back from #everythingopen (formerly linux.conf.au). Legit was asked a dozen times "is DevOps still a thing" in response to me trying to explain my métier as a systems engineer. Only reply I could think of was to use your notion of feedback between developers and the systems they develop.

Andrew Donnellan (who you may know as @ajdlinux on other platforms) was part of the winding up of #OzLabs in #CBR #Canberra recently. If you're looking for a standout #Linux #kernel engineer or someone for #embedded pick Andrew. www.linkedin.com/in/andrewdon... #EO2026 #EverythingOpen

Really enjoying opening keynote at #everythingopen from @kyliemcdevitt.bsky.social about experiences determining patterns in device security [weaknesses]. What's interesting is although she's using IoT analysis examples, this explicitly all applies to the compute infrastructure we build, too #eo2026

Looking forward to Jacinta Richardson speaking about Chaos Theory and how it applies to software engineering. #everythingopen #eo2026.

This talk is brilliant. Jacinta has linked Chaos Theory to Observability. #everythingopen #eo2026

"Performance engineering isn't about making things fast, it's about making them predictably fast", using percentiles not averages, designing for tail behaviour, feedback loops, and the ability to observe. "Predictability is not the goal, stability is." —Jacinta Richardson, #everythingopen #eo2026

Okay @jrosenbaum.com.au 's #everythingopen #eo2026 slides are reconfiguing themselves in real time in response to audience polls. That is cool. Dr J tells us that "swearing at google" no longer defeats AI results, alas.

This will be a treat: an update on the Square Kilometre Array from JC Guzman #everythingopen #eo2026

My slides are up for my #EverythingOpen D&D themed AI slop talk. The typeface is all messed up, but you can see everyone's interactions which is fun! There are a great many Easter eggs in the responses! I love shrimp fork, try rolling and rm -rf! jrosenbaum.com.au/event/everyt... #eo2026

Yesterday I talked about the tricks I use for fact checking an image for news outlets at #everythingopen. Every so often, I don't need to rely on those tricks... yes this was an official fact check image this morning, #eo2026

Enjoying an overview of the Australasian Inter-Service Incident Management System from @aduckismyfiend.bsky.social. Getting people to collaborate effectively in an emergency is hard! #everythingopen #eo2026

Finished my talk about the Technique procedures language at #everythingopen #eo2026. Such a delight to finally speak publicly about something I've been working on for over 20 years. 2026.everythingopen.au/schedule/pre...

At #everythingopen #eo2026 Vik @vik Olliver is detailing his micron-accurate 3D printer that has a workspace the size of a sugar cube.

Experienced web dev @doubleedesign.bsky.social talking about pitfalls when you decide to build your own code. Not that you shouldn't! but there are many ... sins ... that you can be trapped by. #everythingopen #eo2026

Slides for my #everythingopen #eo2026 presentation “The nineteenth century smartwatch” (about turning mechanical watches into epaper smartwatches) are up at https://c19-smartwatch.surge.sh (that is a temporary site, will go up on kit.biggs.id.au when i can un-bork that server).

Thank you #everythingopen #eo2026 volunteers <3

And <3 the #everythingopen #eo2026 organizing committee

Last talk before I had to get on the road, Andrew Bolin speaking about lessons learned programming FPGAs for the SKA-Low at #everythingopen #eo2026. Nice to finally see some technical detail about a fascinating topic.

More conference venues should have hammocks. #EverythingOpen

I HAVE A QUESTION BUT FIRST A COMMENT OKAY NOW MY QUESTION IS *PSYCH* MORE COMMENT. #everythingopen #eo2026

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Sometimes its invisible because the work doesn't produce artifacts folks can see. The time I spend researching for video is one example. Sometimes its invisible because you make it look so easy they don't understand how hard it was.

A strong statement of resistance to the relentless marketing of "AI" in education spaces. I encourage all educators to have a look and consider signing on: openletter.earth/an-open-lett...

I’m almost entirely over on #Mastodon these days, come find me at infosec.exchange/@itgrrl 👋

fyi: [@]itgrrl.bsky.social is no longer me 😢 someone else registered it after I switched to my @itgrrl.com domain handle back in the days before bsky started reserving your original vanilla bsky handle in case you ever needed to revert to it (& I assume also to preserve your skeet history) 🫠

welp, I got my domain handle fixed 🎉

This is extremely important science and everyone should read and enjoy the figures in this paper: arxiv.org/html/2503.23...

🌟🌟🌟 A HUGE thank you to all the organisers and volunteers of @everythingopen.au - a wonderful conference made possible by your efforts 🌟🌟🌟 #EverythingOpen #eo2025

#EveryThingOpen that's a wrap hung up on the family conference badge hanger.
