Hello nerds. Next month I’m going to be at @oggcamp in Manchester and I’ll be giving a talk on the main stage. If you want to learn something about Infrastructure as Code then come along, sit down, and listen intently.

You will be allowed to buy me a pint afterwards.

Infrastructure as Code is Cool OggCamp 2026

What's more exciting than infrastructure? Not much. But what's more exciting than repeatable, reusable infrastructure based on code? Sweet FA, that's what. Which is why Charlie O'Hara will show you how to build and maintain your own local infrastructure using nothing but OSS tools and a git repo.

I believe there is quite a contingent of #hamradio operators going to #oggcamp this year, as indeed there was last year... but I know of at least two new ones!

Has a friend, colleague or family member started behaving strangely? Are you worried they might have been recruited into a cult?

Come to Manchester for OggCamp 2026 on 25th/26th April, where I'll be talking about Large Language Models and generative AI

https://talks.oggcamp.org/oggcamp-2026/talk/FYYB3V/

I'll discuss some common and not-so-common genAI failure modes, how to deprogramme people who are being sucked into the genAI cult, and some practical sabotage techniques that you can take away and use at home. While they are still legal.

Remember: Model collapse is not inevitable, but together, we can make it happen!

Slime, Slop and Sabotage OggCamp 2026

Do you have a friend, colleague or family member who has started behaving strangely? Are you worried that they might have been recruited into a cult? Yes, this is a talk about Large Language Models and generative AI :-) I'll discuss some common and not-so-common genAI failure modes, how to deprogramme people who are being sucked into the genAI cult, and some practical sabotage techniques that you can take away and use at home. While they are still legal. Remember: Model collapse is not inevitable, but together, we can make it happen!

@cyberspice @saramg seems to me like #OggCamp would still be relevant overlap though and I'll take any excuse to see you both!

@jac Of course it will. If you get one more follower than you have on your blog, you're doing great, but here's the thing, most people don't realise. You'll have achieved something even bigger, you'll have produced something very few others have and loved doing it.

I loved our podcast. I met some awesome people along the way, laughed my guts out way too loudly and felt the love at numerous #OggCamp events, and our sound quality was appalling.

It's the presenters and the content that matter.
