Where were people's favourite lectures? I attended 7 talks. My favourite talk by far was hacking the GPG. Brilliant, really: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-to-sign-or-not-to-sign-practical... The "In-house electronics manufacturing from scratch" was a very inspiring talk: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-in-house-electronics-manufacturi... The rest were less good for me personally. Either over-dramatic and shallow (with a se…

Just for sheer geekery's sake probably the ISDN talk.

For OMG eye opening factor the FreeBSD jails talk (how the hell is this thing still so buggy?) and the talk on unencrypted satellite links

For excellent follow-along value and dedication to ridiculously pointless cause the Freebox talk. "Technically I don't own this box so instead of risking damaging it I'm going to take the extremely long and entertaining route around, somehow involving Doom WAD files"

For showmanship probably the Tegra talk

I can’t not see Catbert in the video player iconography. Someone tell me they did this intentionally.

The icon is supposed to represent one of those waving cat figurines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maneki-neko It has some long tradition placing those visibly on the podium. As the story goes, the idea is that you can immediately see if the video stream freezes up (because the cat in the video suddenly stops waving). You wouldn't immediately catch that in between talks (when you have some time to fix the issue) if t…

Thank you both!

Absolutely Cory Doctorow's, for the showmanship alone. Lovely background slides. The message itself might not resonate with everyone.

The talk "Look Up" about unencrypted data over DVB satellite links was also though provoking, both in presentation and in technical content. If there's that much data unencrypted over a mainstream IP link, imagine how much is still on legacy protocols in 2025.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I shared this link on my personal FB page couple of times and it was automatically removed within seconds.

Then why continue to donate time and attention to censorship platforms? Having a Facebook account is completely optional.

Network effects, obviously.

One interesting detail: In previous years, Joscha Bach gave a talk on AI, consciousness, and related topics (see e.g. [0]). A similar talk was planned for this year as well, but after emails between him and Epstein were made public (see his comment on this in [1]), his talk was canceled. Instead, there appears to have been an event that critically addressed the situation [2]. Unfortunately it was not recorded. Did an…

Well that discussion talk is not an open discourse about the situation... He quoted what he believed was scientific evidence in a private conversation that became public, has comments on fashism being efficient are clearly anti-facist and believed to observe a gender stereotype. No matter if the facts were true, it should be possible to discuss such things (especially those you think are facts) in private without get…

I think people have little patience lately for tolerating private discussion they find objectionable with Epstein.

https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-a-post-american-enshittification... Cory Doctorow's talk is quite strong.

Precisely the first video I started downloading and I didn't even realize it was from Cory.

It carries even more weight now that "post-American" is coming from...an American. This guy stands for his ideals, I envy such resolve.
