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…

Somehow it did not get much attention, but Signal president Meredith Whittaker (together with Udbhav Tiwari) spoke about the risks and threats from AI-enabled systems. AI Agent, AI Spy https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-ai-agent-ai-spy I also found the talk about Asahi interesting, both from a technical standpoint but also as a nice update what the current status is. Asahi Linux - Porting Linux to Apple Silicon https://medi…

Meredith's talk was extremely scripted, not very original and then she ducked out of taking any audience questions. Udbhav awkwardly stood there but seemed like he could have had much more to say. It was hard to watch.

Mona Wang's talk early on Day 2 wasn't recorded but was the polar opposite -- Original, off-the-cuff, engaging, and just fun to witness.

Unfortunately, the congress is getting worse and worse every year. There are fewer and fewer interesting and technical topics. "It used to be better" moment.

None of these interesting as "technical topic"? (only examples)

Lessons from Building an Open-Architecture Secure Element

And of course some of the Lightning Talks...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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 a…

> For OMG eye opening factor the FreeBSD jails talk (how the hell is this thing still so buggy?) Because everything that complex is going to be that buggy. With the bugs they found fix a constant number of them still remains.

Linus said 'many eyes make all bugs shallow', but compared to Linux, there are not many eyes looking at FreeBSD.

No tolerance for the intolerant.

Can you show me, where exactly Joshua Bach stands for intolerance?

You've read the email exchange with epstein?

How billions dieng to famine would be a good thing or culling the elderly and infirm?

Don't even know why I bother answering.

I read just parts of it. Can you link or explain what you mean here? I do not understand the connection to intolerance.

It's linked right above in this chain. I am not going to discuss why killing people is intolerant. That's just silly even for hn standards.

You edited your post after I commented and there was nothing about killing there before. (Just something about haters)

Indeed not HN standards. And if Joshua said killing people is good, I am interested in a full quote.

Every of the lightning talks itself had about 20 short different topics, And as I wrote these were examples, you didn't expect someone to re-enumerate them here all to refute your statement. You can easily find them yourself. Have look at this page, where others listed their favorites, there are many more. But I don't think from your reply you didn't look at the list of sessions yourself.
