And so it begins - Wie unser Rechtsstaat auf dem Highway Richtung Trumpismus rast – und warum afghanische Kläger*innen für uns die Notbremse ziehen (de)

Eva, Elaha

Wenn die Regierung sich nicht mehr an das eigene Recht gebunden fühlt, markiert das nicht nur einen politischen Spurwechsel, sondern die Auffahrt auf den Highway to Trumpism. Zeit die Notbremse zu ziehen! Normalerweise trifft es in solchen Situationen immer zuerst diejenigen, die sich am wenigsten wehren können. Doch was passiert, wenn genau diese Menschen mit juristischen Werkzeugen bewaffnet werden, um zurückzuschlagen? Anhand von über 100 Klagen afghanischer Schutzsuchender zeigen wir, wie Ministerien das Bundesaufnahmeprogramm sabotieren, Gerichte sie zurückpfeifen – und die Zivilgesellschaft zum letzten Schutzwall des Rechtsstaats wird. Und wir verraten, warum sich Beamte im BAMF vielleicht lieber krankmelden sollten und welche anderen Möglichkeiten sie haben, um nicht straffällig zu werden.

Excuse me, what precise time is It? (en)

Oliver Ettlin

With PTP 1588, AES67, and SMPTE 2110, we can transmit synchronous audio and video with sub-millisecond latency over the asynchronous medium Ethernet. But how do you make hundreds of devices agree on the exact same nanosecond on a medium that was never meant to care about time? Precision Time Protocol (IEEE 1588) tries to do just that. It's the invisible backbone of realtime media standards like AES67 and SMPTE 2110, proprietary technologies such as Dante, and even critical systems powering high-frequency trading, cellular networks, and electric grids.

Doomsday-Porn, Schäferhunde und die „niedliche Abschiebung“ von nebenan: Wie autoritäre Akteure KI-generierte Inhalte für Social Media nutzen (de)

Katharina Nocun

Der amtierende US-Präsident postet ein Video, in dem er Demonstrierende aus einem Kampfjet heraus mit Fäkalien bewirft und das Weiße Haus zelebriert den „Star Wars Day“ mit einem pompösen Trump-Bild mit Lichtschwert. Accounts von AfD-Sympathisanten posten KI-Kitsch einer vermeintlich heilen Welt voller blonder Kinder und Frauen im Dirndl. Ist das lediglich eine geschmackliche Entgleisung oder steckt da mehr dahinter?

Breaking architecture barriers: Running x86 games and apps on ARM (en)

Tony Wasserka

Presenting FEX, a translation layer to run x86 apps and games on ARM devices: Learn why x86 is such a pain to emulate, what tricks and techniques make your games fly with minimal translation overhead, and how we are seamless enough that you'll forget what CPU you're using in the first place!

AI-generated content in Wikipedia - a tale of caution (en)

Mathias Schindler

I successfully failed with a literature related project and accidentally built a ChatGPT detector. Then I spoke to the people who uploaded ChatGPT generated content on Wikipedia.

Throwing your rights under the Omnibus - how the EU's reform agenda threatens to erase a decade of digital rights (en)

Thomas Lohninger, Ralf Bendrath

A spectre is haunting Europe—the spectre of bureaucracy. All the Powers of old Europe have entered into an unholy alliance to exorcise this spectre: The EU Commission, Member States, industry, even J.D. Vance. This threatens the digital rights and rules built up in the last decade.

The Eyes of Photon Science: Imaging, Simulation and the Quest to Make the Invisible Visible (en)

MarKuster

Science advances by extending our senses beyond the limits of human perception, pushing the boundaries of what we can observe. In photon science, imaging detectors serve as the eyes of science, translating invisible processes into measurable and analysable data. Behind every image lies a deep understanding of how detectors see, respond and perform. At facilities like the European XFEL, the world's most powerful X-ray free-electron laser located in the Hamburg metropolitan area, imaging detectors capture ultrashort X-ray flashes at MHz frame rates and with high dynamic range. Without these advanced detectors, even the brightest X-ray laser beam would remain invisible. They help to reveal what would otherwise stay hidden, such as the structure of biomolecules, the behaviour of novel materials, and matter under extreme conditions. But how do we know they will perform as expected? And how do we design systems capable of “seeing” the invisible? I will take a closer look how imaging technology in large-scale facilities is simulated and designed to make the invisible visible. From predicting detector performance to evaluating image quality, we look at how performance simulation helps scientists and engineers understand the “eyes” of modern science.

Learn from our mistakes during the first iteration of Network Operations for Europe's largest furry convention, Eurofurence. Dieses Jahr hat ein kleines Team aus dem Chaos, Furries und Chaos-Furries ein neues Netzwerk-OC gegründet, um die Eurofurence mit gutem premium 👌 Internetz auszustatten. Wir erzählen von unseren Erfahrungen und den sozialen sowie technischen Herausforderungen.

Life on Hold: What Does True Solidarity Look Like Beyond Duldung, Camps, Deportation, and Payment Cards? (en)

H-Shaaib, Eric Noel Mbiakeu

Lager, Duldung, Bezahlkarte, Essensscheine – Criminalization, Radicalization, Reality for Many People in East Germany This talk sheds light on how these terms shape everyday life. We dive into an existence marked by uncertainty, isolation, and psychological strain, both in anonymous big cities and rural areas of East Germany. We ask: What does “solidarity” really mean in this context?

From Silicon to Darude Sand-storm: breaking famous synthesizer DSPs (en)

giulioz

Have you ever wondered how the chips and algorithms that made all those electronic music hits work? Us too! At The Usual Suspects we create open source emulations of famous music hardware, synthesizers and effect units. After releasing some emulations of devices around the Motorola 563xx DSP chip, we made further steps into reverse engineering custom silicon chips to achieve what no one has done before: a real low-level emulation of the JP-8000. This famous synthesizer featured a special "SuperSaw" oscillator algorithm, which defined an entire generation of electronic and trance music. The main obstacle was emulating the 4 custom DSP chips the device used, which ran software written with a completely undocumented instruction set. In this talk I will go through the story of how we overcame that obstacle, using a mixture of automated silicon reverse engineering, probing the chip with an Arduino, statistical analysis of the opcodes and fuzzing. Finally, I will talk about how we made the emulator run in real-time using JIT, and what we found by looking at the SuperSaw code.
