EMF-IX Returns

EMF-IX, the #emfcamp / #emfcamp2026 internet exchange will be returning for EMF 2026.

Complete with our best switch yet (the "no cost spared" Juniper LAN) this will be the best EMF-IX yet, run a personal network or similar? Reserve your (in person) port today: https://emf-ix.benjojo.co.uk/

This year the EMF Camp network itself will be peering on the exchange as well!

@xssfox @benjojo do it like mains electrical appliances - make all the cables M->F and put at most one M port on any bridge

(enforcing this in the Linux bridge driver is left as an exercise for the reader)

@xssfox @benjojo now this is reminding me of FDDI and its A/B/M keyed connectors
