"still issues with things like sound equipment"
For the $500 entry fee you would think they could provide earphones and someone would hack together an app that would let you listen through those earphones based on some sort of proximity detection. No doubt the first year someone would find a vulnerability in it and would need parallel deployment to the existing infrastructure, but still.
- tekla 1y agoCool, whats your handle so I can suggest your name to organizers to set it up for them
- giantg2 1y agoI'd be open to working on it if they actually want to pursue it and want to provide contact info for whatever subgroup handles the comms/networking.
- tekla 1y agoJoin their discord or forums and whatever and get crackin https://defcon.org/html/links/get-involved.html https://defcon.org/html/links/get-involved.html
- spydum 1y agoWould be a great idea, except they couldn't even operate WiFi with any stability (to which I heard was a LVCC problem, but I don't know that for sure).
- giantg2 1y agoDoesn't have to be wifi. There are many different ways to communicate. It's a matter of finding the best one. Unfortunately, the largest drawback is the potential for malicious/mischievous actors to interrupt them given the crowd. Something as simple as FM transmission, like at a drive-in, could be an option.
- singleshot_ 1y agoCould use Meshtastic maybe
- immibis 1y agothis is probably why it never works - silly overcomplex ideas. There's not even a need to create anything. Rent from a silent disco company. Done.
- singleshot_ 1y agoI think you may have a need to create a sense of humor. Perhaps you have heard about the Meshtastic talk at defcon by now.
