Many people didn’t notice the blue porta potty in front of the @defconscavhunt.bsky.social booth next to CTF. Did you make it to the contest area and look inside the Trauma Dump: Hacker Confessional?

I guess it’s my turn to #makeshitmonday since @elcannibal.bsky.social hasn’t yet. I decided I need a portable video server, since we travel to places with intermittent signal and limited internet. This is a #Lenovo M90n fitting perfectly inside a VHS tape

VHS tape taken apart and Lenovo M90n with the case removed on a table, some tools and bits of plastic from inside the VHS tape cassette strewn about.

Shucked Lenovo M90n mounted on the bottom half of the VHS cassette.

Our newest addition to the weird at the @defconscavhunt.bsky.social table; Trauma Dump Hacker Confessional. I created the logos and glitch art that played on our “priest screen” along side installing the cloud. A late start project, so it’ll be a little more dressed up in the coming years.

SCaLE22x! Only got to make it out for one day this time around, but it was a packed day full of pulling apart thermal printers, talking Meshtastic, shopping Etsy markets, 30+ for dinner, and of course the ever famous game night!

A contingent of Orange County hackers descended upon the 23b Shop for a night of installing a portable Proxmox cluster with me. How else would you spend a Friday evening?

The Southern California hacker community is thriving! Come join the meetups and hang out with like minded people.

I’m also the one who came up with the idea and hacked together the hardware for the Shell On Demand Appliance (S.O.D.A) machine. A fully independent virtual machine host inside a Dixie Narco vending machine. The software was developed by @balsa.info.

A vending machine with a rainbow of LED lights in the selection panel of nine button options. The flavors are all replaced with Virtual Machine guest operating systems.

A vending machine opened to reveal a server rack vertically mounted with four Dell R630 computers that host virtual machines for the Shell On Demand Appliance (S.O.D.A.) Machine. The door has two thermal printers in the center hole originally used for removing purchase drinks. Stickers embellish the sides of the machine.

A drink vending machine with green lights on the buttons. The front door signage has “Cold Drinks” in white text on a blue background is backlit. Next to the machine is five 24” LCD displays stacked on to of one another showing a user interface and vitals of the servers inside the vending machine.

A thermal receipt from the Shell On Demand Appliance (S.O.D.A) machine. The text on the receipt shows the IP address and credentials to log into the virtual machine being hosted inside the vending machine.

I suppose I should introduce myself here, in case you run across this account unfamiliar with my shenanigans.
