After too many years of not being able to host our #fosdem and #offdem friends, @hsbxl hosted #bytenight again. I am happy and honored to have been the culprit of the party lighting again ! Twinkle twinkle little #blinkenlight ! Thanks to all the people that helped me setup, to Bugel Amplification for the original analog filter design and @eevblog for the peak detection circuit. Even bigger thanks to our wonderful guests, that help keep #hsbxl afloat, #bytenight alive and make it an awesome party to be at year after year, and to the volunteers prepping stuff all day and bolting around all night ! Be excellent to each other and see you all next year !

Uffff my body's a mess.... but much less than if I didn't hydrate as much as i did ! Did you ?

Last night at the bytenight i gave that usual tho necessary reminder to many drunk ppl and 2 of them still insisted for not to. I can't understand. Why would anyone desirably avoid drinking water ?
It's cheaper, healthier, refreshing, energizing. You can even refill for free, share it for caring, and eventually reuse the bottle for an ecological way to wipe your ass like lots of non-white ppl do.

I couldn't ever had danced so hard during 5 hours if i didn't drink more water than beer, club maté and ice tea. Neither could I have great conversations with super interesting ppl. Sad that some ppl refuse that opportunity. Would it be bc of (lack of) self-confidence ? Toxic masculinity legacy ? Sadness ? Please next time : drink water and go ask anyone for a hug, there will probably be someone up for it !

Anyway, it was cool to see you nerds dancing as much as you could at the #offdem and #bytenight.

Ok, time to get up, have a shower, visit a friend then -> see you at VSP for the lunch !

Tomorrow we will drive a van to Bruxelles for the #OFFDEM with 9 of us.
Can't wait to be there and meet everyone there !

We will discuss #gendersec and digital self-defense, sharing some feedbacks about our workshops and our cyberfeminist collective Hacqueen among other activists.

Saturday evening from 6pm, Papyrové Houby will play her livecoding set and @adalanerd will play a DJ set to keep warming up before going to the #bytenight at @hsbxl

Kindly hosted by an undocumented people squat with a limited capacity, the OFFDEM is a political venue is not an after-party for the official congress so be sure to come during the day to join in or let's meet after at the bytenight !

Shoutout to @natacha, @how, @ps, Voix des Sans Papiers, @XavCC, @becha, Délices Afghans and everyone else allowing such an event to happen !

Just entered @hsbxl for #bytenight #FOSDEM2020
