The last 20 of our badges are now up for sale on Tindie. If you missed out on 'da Bomb' during DC27, now's your last chance. Screens are up for sale too, if you want an extra.

@FreqyXin Aw, you framed it! Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

Our badge code from DC27 is now Deep in a glacier in Svalbard, Norway as part of the Github Archive Program.

I guess those bugs are now on ice forever!

It's going to be a sad summer without the stress of making badges. We'll still be stuck inside planning for next year. Hope everyone is safe and healthy.

As far as DC28 goes, we will probably not be doing a complex DC28 badge. Maybe something fun and simple this time round.

Still working out details. We will do a full badge for DC29 and we've gotta do something special for DC30.

165 days until DEF CON!

We've got two (2!) of "daBomb" badges left from last year, and then they're all gone. Forever. If you want one, now's your chance. https://t.co/PRDKq8Obj3

@badgeliife You're going to have to get about 80+ DEF CON Badge teams "off your hashtag." Good luck with that. :)

@donds Slackers. ;)

@GeekaBoo I realize. Adafruit has substantially more money than us and can weather the storm lost items and replacements. We cannot.

@GeekaBoo Yeah, sorry about that. The last two times we've tried to ship electronics internationally we've had issues with customs, tarriffs, ITAR, inspections, and things never getting there. I wish it were easier.

[Team Ides: Indie DEF CON Badges @teamides]

@Cisco4047 I have about 25 screens left, let me get that set up on Tindie. Alternately, you can paypal me and I'll just ship one to you today. Send a mail to [email protected] and we'll work it out. thanks!

One of the creators of FastLED has passed away in a tragic boating/diving fire off the coast of California. We used a number of functions from FastLED in our badge code and mourn their passing. RIP Daniel.

[Team Ides: Indie DEF CON Badges @teamides]

I added a fair amount of more detail to our post-mortem.

Gotta remember all of these things for next time. https://t.co/LEcrVTllmG

Our website should be back to normal now. Between DNS changes, Let's Encrypt Rate limits, and a power outage, it's been a fun last 24 hours. We've moved the site to a much better data center and shouldn't have an outage like that again. https://t.co/wAonKOO5A2

@Shane86 BLE L2CAP ftw? :)

[Team Ides: Indie DEF CON Badges @teamides]

Speaking of post Mortems, there goes the webserver. Massive Pg&E outage in downtown SF.

[Team Ides: Indie DEF CON Badges @teamides]

@allthe_lights back up! sorry!

[Team Ides: Indie DEF CON Badges @teamides]

After much thought, I've published our DC27 Post-Mortem. Learn from our mistakes! https://t.co/LEcrVTllmG

[Team Ides: Indie DEF CON Badges @teamides]

Well, we're back up. Time to move our site to something more reliable.
