I don't really think its fair to lump hams into that behavioral bucket. It's certainly a personality type that tends to get attracted to lots of different technical hobbies. | ||

If you walk around Defcon and keep an eye out for small clusters (2-3) of 40+ yr old white dudes who are loudly, intentionally bitching about something minor/tangential and chasing anyone remotely interesting away from the area by their mere presence..... 100 times out of 10 they are hams. The phone phreaks have their own quirks too, but it's usually just being smelly and/or chomos. But also that's a tiny percentage. They're way more chill. Lockpicking is the best village. Honorable mentions to car/hardware hacking and biohacking villages. | ||
