Summertime is Hacker Time [HACKADAY]() Screwdrivers and Nuclear Safety: The Demon Core [Read Article Now»]( Chaos and Camping By [Elliot Williams]( In a field somewhere north of Berlin right now, around 5,500 hackers and their family members are blinking, coding, building, giving talks, and simply hanging out. Once every four years, the German hacker scene gets together and gets burned by the day star, despite the ample warnings to apply copious sunscreen. CCCamp is a must-attend-it-to-get-it type event, [but it's also chock-full of talks on numerous stages](, and these you can see from the comfort of your own home, without even getting a mosquito bite! We loved [Harald Welte]'s [complete guide to the mysterious world of eSIMS](, for instance. What's most amazing about Camp, though, is that it brings together hackers of all ages and interests. Someone with a tape-measure direction-finding radio, who is probably participating in the foxhunt, just walked behind another group learning yoga. There is UV tape art, and a stinky diesel train. Old greybeards mingle with kids, all of them playing with the bubble machines. Two folks are playing bocce with old hard drives. I think one camp was working on an autonomous model boat. Everyone bring what they're interested in, shares it, and helps anyone else get started if they're interested. It's a hacker paradise, even if just for a few days every four years.
