#defcon34

It’s the last couple of hours to order a @dcfurs@defcon.social #defcon34 assembled badge which has “LoRa radio, NFC, 48 RGB LEDs, an RP2040 processor, MicroPython scripting, touch points (including the return of booping), and support for a Shitty Add-on (V1.69bis)” and helps keep #defcon furs running and the charities DCF donates to! https://donate.hackyourlives.org/products/defcon-furs-2026-badge-assembled #badgelife

Well #DEFCON34 is over with. Time to reflect on what I did (or didn’t do). This year honestly was different and I think it will take some time for me to process it. #defcon means a lot to me, over the years it went from something I did for work to something I did on my own to see my friends. This year was dedicated giving back and helping others. Helping out when needed, not when asked. I even made one of the CTFs and watched as people were working through challenges and puzzles I worked hard to create. I don’t know how to process it yet. It’s different. Im just capturing my feelings to reflect on later when things have calmed down for me. I gave a lot of myself this year and I’m exhausted.

Looking for another #defcon34 badge? We’ve got you covered. Starting at 10am Sunday, you can pick up a spare at Registration for $100. While supplies last, of course. Punctuality is advised. #defcon #badgelife
