This year, we had fewer workshops and presentations, allowing more time for relaxation and holiday activities. Of course, there were still talks and discussions about several software projects connected by ActivityPub, soldering and building blinky devices, pen-and-paper sessions, cross-golf, and video presentations.

- In the evenings, the warming bonfire was a highlight, where music was playend and songs where heard, being commonly shared among all participants and guests, while kids roasted marshmallows and enjoyed the building of fluroscent glowing rings, glasses and other objects. This again created a soothing and communal atmosphere.

- - We were once more reminded of the environmental impact of nuclear power usage during our tour to the nearby atomic storage facility. This sobering experience underscored the catastrophic risks of operating nuclear power plants and producing waste that requires maintenance for 10,000 years and beyond.

- - Strolling through the forest, engaging in tech talks, and relaxing in the sun made this year's Fedi.Camp truly charming. The unique combination of activities and wonderful participants created an unforgettable experience.

Insight on network infrastructure

At 'KABI Fancy Media and Communication,' we again, built the camp's data network infrastructure. Given the lack of reliable mobile coverage and inadequate common landline infrastructure, there is typically no usable internet connection at the camp site.

- - So, we stepped in to ensure connectivity for all. We utilized a combination of Starlink and Vodafone 5G for data uplink. Despite a brief period of heavy rain when even the 5G connection dropped, the internet remained fast and reliably stable.

- - All traffic was routed through our datacenter infrastructure for sanitizing incoming traffic and ensuring privacy. This connection was then distributed using Ubiquiti Cloud Gateway Ultra hardware to form the local network. We deployed a 10.0.0.x IP range net to support up to 512 devices, though we had about 78 concurrent users. Participants brought their cars, phones, laptops, smartwatches, etc. all may require a connection, so it was best to be prepared. The signal was transmitted through a POE (Power over Ethernet) switch and distributed to six Ubiquiti Nano HD access points with WiFi-roaming, providing seamless connectivity as people walked around the camp site. This setup involved approximately 450 meters of Cat6 cables, rain covers, countless cable ties and a few additional POE injectors for the farthest access points to reach a 99.9% coverage of the whole camp site, houses and fireplace.

- - In total, we facilitated about 790 gigabytes of internet traffic during the camp. It was fun building it and watching the traffic roar.
