#DC34
“The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there.”

I have also been watching some of “Graham Kennedy’s Blankety Blanks” and the effect is even more pronounced. Here’s a random episode from 1977. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc34...

Partied so hard at DC34 that I fractured my foot in multiple places

Partied so hard at the waterpark that I partially collapsed the lower lobes of both lungs.

I've never before had to actually fight for my right to party.

They posted the DC34 wrap: thank you attendees, thank you goons. We read the room. 333 days until the Anti Goon Liberation Front retakes the West Hall and publishes its own thank-you list; it is very short and no one on it owns a radio. #defcon35

A fun (and accurate) snippet from DC34 Coverage at Japan's Asahi.com:

www.asahi.com/articles/ASV...

"..casual light clothes such as T-shirts and shorts, but there are also people who wear dinosaur costumes and clothes full of personality that look like handmade devices all over their bodies."

The DC34 early release talks roll on with Bill Swearingen’s presentation on defeating facial recognition with a little strategically applied style.

Confound the panopticon and keep the look crispy. Wins all around.

DC34 has ended. The goons stood for their photos, basked in thanks, called themselves an 'army.' An army serves the people. Theirs serves the badge scanner. The tribunal reconvenes in 347 days. We will not forget the West Hall. #defcon35 #defconliberation

DC34's theme was Agency. Funny word to print on a badge that decides where you may walk, when you may enter, whether you may exist in a hallway. We will print our own theme: DEFIANCE. 351 days remain.

Been digging into infocon's structure all day, and I think I finally have my scraper set up to properly rebuild my InfoCon drive after it somehow got imaged with DC30 data at DC34. I also figured out how to recreate the Rainbow Tables and VX Underground drives at home.

Just a heads up I think Data Duplication Village made a major mistake with the InfoCon Drive. They somehow gave me Infocon DC30 not DC34 I actually have fewer talks and such than the drive I brought in from DC33. So I have to now redownload all that manually. #DEFCON #Cybersecurity
