TL;DR: We’re trying to make an on-site event happen. There will be, in any case, an online part. More info later in the year.

It’s an early time in the year, especially for blogpost regarding the congress. Nevertheless we want to inform you about our plans regarding an event end of the year. Even though it’s not clear how an event end of 2021 could be like, we are going to try to make an on-site event happen at the usual time of the year. whether that is possible or not is uncertain at this point.

In any case, there will be an online part.

We’re optimistic that we’ll have more information for …

DiVOC Reboot to Respawn in English

Wir spielen gerade ein sehr gefährliches Spiel auf unserem Planeten und jedes Mal, wenn wir sehen, dass es uns und unsere Lebensgrundlage zerstört, drücken wir dennoch immer wieder auf „continue“. In Wirklichkeit wird nur – wenn überhaupt – ein kompletter Reboot helfen, sowohl politisch als auch wirtschaftlich, sozial und auch kulturell. Wir haben nur eine Erde als Hardware und unser Life-Support läuft aus.

Dabei ist die Diskussion, ob etwas getan werden muss, ehrlich gesagt auch schon durch. Deshalb muss jetzt endlich darüber geredet werden, was getan werden …

tl;dr:

We’re looking for sessions, angels, and maps. To make the first DiVOC this year a full success, we need three things: angels, self-organized sessions, and maps. Therefor, here are three calls in one. And we have merch!

Call for Maps

The rC3 world was great, and for r2r we’d like to continue it on a smaller scale, so r2r will have a lobby. If you’d like to contribute one or more maps and hook them up to the lobby, please mail us at welt@diese-welt-ist-schlecht.de. Please let us know your hack space/group/project, the link your map is hosted at, and the start layer we …

It’s been exactly one year since the pandemic crashed our party. The DiVOC (German: Digital Verteiltes Online-Chaos, means Digital Distributed Online Chaos) will be celebrating its first anniversary under the motto Reboot to Respawn (R2R) and will allow us to have a place on the net to meet and exchange ideas. Framed from Good Friday to Easter Monday (02.04. – 05.04.2021) with a program of talks, art and music.  :-)

To ensure that you can communicate undisturbed and unwatched as usual, there will be again a telephone infrastructure, which will technically correspond to that …

tl;dr

This year’s first DiVOC, the #r2r, will be taking place from Good Friday to Easter Monday, 2nd – 5th of April 2021.

It is a very dangerous game we’re playing on our planet, and although we seem to realize, at least from time to time, that we’re …

Once upon a time, the people of the nerds wanted to celebrate their annual festival. But the lands were struck by a pestilence, and it was dangerous to go out and meet other entities. The nerds lamented, for their festival was the highest holiday in their world. But they were all wise creatures, and since wise creatures do not let other creatures come to harm, the committee decided that the celebration would be canceled in the year of the plague.

But the people were strong and wise, and so they pondered. And someone suggested to create an enormous artificial island, which everyone could enter …

Sometime on the morning of Day 4, with the core orga-jitsi’s clock showing hour 48, we sat together for the handover. We pondered, mused, nerded, and asked what we could write to conclude. We settled on a well-known popculture-quote that the 2D-world-developers of this event used to describe their internal channel:

“In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.”
— Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

At the end of this event, after 96 hours of remote Chaos Experience, we ourselves cannot put …

Warum gibt es so viele leere Talks auf media.ccc.de? Wir ‘veröffentlichen’ automatisch Vorab-Mitschnitte aus den Live-Stream.

Wir haben zu diesen Themen viele interessierte Fragen bekommen und möchten Euch in diesem Beitrag kurz die Technik dahinter vorstellen.

Wie kam es zu Relive?

Früher™ hat es manchmal Wochen gedauert, bis Mitschnitte von Vorträgen online waren. In der Community gab es dann sogenannte „Streamdumps“, die man sich kompliziert zusammensuchen musste bzw. schwer auffindbar waren. Leider war auch die Qualität der Streamdumps meistens auch nicht gut oder wurden durch Dritte …

This year we further extended our cooperation with ddos24.net as an #rC3 Gold Sponsor. We are pleased about the great demand, which we will be able to fully serve again shortly.

It’s that time again – the remote Chaos Experience (rC3) is coming! This time with a new format, with tickets for special virtual extra features – we are not sure how many people will visit this new event, nor what will exactly happen. In a way we are all first time visitors, aren’t we? Some people – you too? – may need some support to have a good start.

Who are the Chaos Mentors for?

Are you a member of an underrepresented group in the hacker community, and unsure if you will feel safe and comfortable at a digital distributed event? Or do you have specific needs that make it more difficult to …
