The official IRC channels are #33c3-hall-X @hackint. They always take questions from the channels. Almost as good as being there!

it's irc.hackint.org right?

Yup, that's correct, the channels seem to be: #33c3-hall-1 #33c3-hall-2 #33c3-hall-6 #33c3-hall-g

Also quite cool: https://dashboard.congress.ccc.de/

That is cool! Looks like something like Zabbix. Any idea what it is actually?

That's Grafana[1]. You can build such dashboards from data in Graphite, Elasticsearch or other sources. IIRC, they now also have support for alerting based on these metrics (something for which we are using Bosun currently).

Are they doing quality control on submitted talks this year, or are they still fine with talks that spread outright and clear lies to people who come there to learn and don't know any better? Edit: They still let Rubin talk, so probably no quality control.

Care to elaborate?

For two years in a row Rubin has given talks about Perl, "exposing issues", in talks that are 99% straight lies or at the very least gross misrepresentations. They cannot in any good conscience be characterized as anything other than intentional trolling and spreading of FUD.

He has been thanked by CCC orga directly for his contributions as well, thus making it clear that they support such shenanigans.

As far as i am concerned, every talk at CCC is highly suspect, since they either don't give a damn as to whether it is correct, or they actively support talks being given in bad faith to an unsuspecting audience.
