Opt Out October: Daily Tips to Protect Your Privacy and Security Trying to take control of your online privacy can feel like a full-time job. But if you break it up into small tasks and take on one project at a time it makes the process of protecting your privacy

Take some time this weekend to get caught up in our #OptOutOctober series, where we’re providing daily tips to reclaim your privacy, one small task at a time. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Thank you all for attending Northsec, it was a blast. We are looking forward to meet you again soon

Quick little evening project to convert an old 54.4V battery to a power bank with an 110V inverter. Gonna use it tomorrow for an outdoor event to power RGB lights

#northsec badge final evolution 😁

Quick 60 seconds summary of the assembly process of for the lever of the slot machine Northsec 2025 Slot Machine Mech Assembly [Preview]

Wanted to show a snippet of how I made the mechanical component of the #Northsec 2025 slot machine for the CTF www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCLc...

A rare sight of a full manufacturing panel for the #northsec badge

I wanted to say thank you to Northsec's incredible soldering village and badge team for their overwhelming dedication. I said it at the closing ceremony and will say it again: Northsec's #badgelife is only possible because they are involved. Thank you again for making it spectacular.

Post-northesec, i slept 11 hours 😁

If you don't want to keep your badge, you may return it at the entrance front desk

I may or may not be responsible 😁

Instant noodle always hit the right spot after midnight

Damn I love cybersecurity conferences 😂

The screen was showing garbage. A subset of screen our supplier provided didn't like the i2c channel risetime (pullups integrated). A solution was to add resistors in parallel to tighten the risetime. That fixed this particular problem. So we thought it would be cute to have little bandaid PCBs 🩹

Some of you might have seen some badges with a "bandaid" SAO. There is a story behind that. The failure rate of the OLED screen was incredibly high this year. It lead to a overall badge defect rate of ~13%. (1/2)

Reminder that you can take a break and do an SAO at the soldering village. 3 types of SAO remaining

#northsec's CVSS Bonsecours is departing soon ⛴️

First beer of the CTF #northsec

Psst, there are sponsors docks here #northsec @badgelife

I might be a bit biased 😁 but I think #northsec have the best and most unique parties among conferences

Barbada is in the house 😍

Little hint: if you want to level up the green bar at the bottom of the badge, you have to dock your badge at docking stations available with the sponsors #northsec #badgelife

Headsup, you don't have to be super close to each other to sync. 10 to 20cm is ideal for the infrared to handshake

Cheers to the amazing soldering volunteers. Soldering village is almost reading to go
