I found this (super short) episode inspiring, on the same topic: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5n6BYw5VU7cLipoRKE1COU (The Poetic Internet, with Kristoffer Tjalve)

I love the simplicity in this statement: "So average risk of death doubles in 8 years."

developer/organizer here. hi! arranging a stupid hackathon is almost too easy, and loads of fun. attendees are usually very forgiving and happy, and if something fails it is stupid and therefor on brand. i make them annually in sweden, and this was year no3. fantastic experience.

it just listens for silence and cues some audio files in the background. it works most of the time, but could definately be improved.

hai! developer here. uploaded it this weekend during a hackathon. the permissions are absurd, but my sleepy head couldn't figure out how limit the permissions yo youtube only.

we use the public keys from existing github accounts in our organisation. a little cronjob runs daily on all servers to fetch all keys. http://labs.earthpeople.se/2016/04/controlling-ssh-access-wi...

no idea how secure this is or what implications this could have but it's easy and works well for our use case.

hm it doesn't seem to pick up the wp installation if the WP_CONTENT_DIR is changed. should be an easy fix, se below.

this site is very much wordpress: https://www.berghs.se/ but wpdetective won't detect wordpress at all. it has a custom WP_CONTENT_DIR.

here's a similar but less polished version my team created some years ago: http://wppluginchecker.earthpeople.se/?wordpress-site=https%...

it tries a few common variables for WP_CONTENT_DIR, and runs completely in the browser, should you want to take a peek on how we detect WP.

Re:Stupid hacks from stupidhackathon.se on Tuesday February 14, 2017 @02:28AM (#13641892)
hi, organizer of swedish stupidhackathon here. i sent an email to the people at stupidhackathon.com. they were super sweet and told us to go for it. so do it - go for it.

https://labs.earthpeople.se/2016/10/stupid-hackathon-sweden/

what's nice about organizing a stupid hackathon is that it's really easy. if someting doesn't work out you can just shrug your shoulders and say hey that's stupid. like our livestream for instance. i forgot to plug in the microphone so there was no sound. very stupid!
