Stepping out of silence to share sad news.
Ondrej Mikle-Barat, whom I knew mostly from #brmlab and was around @nolog@chaos.social / @nologcz on #39c3 left us this month.
May he rest in peace.🕊

Schwarm required: auf den Congressen gab es auch immer ausgedruckte Plakate mit der #Photopolicy. Da stand n bisschen illustrierter drauf worum geht und nicht nur der Text aussem Wiki. Hätte die gerne für andere Veranstaltungen, bin aber zu doof die zu finden gerade und möchte jetzt auch keinen AI Müll dafür produzieren, hat also zufällig jemand n Link/Bild für mich? #38c3 #39c3 #40c3 #ccc #c3
During the Suitwalk at the last Congress we met a few nice Chaosfurs!

Hi! I'm missing an industrial computer, a Dell Edge Gateway 5000. I probably lost it at #39c3. I attached a pic of the exact device I'm missing with a description in the Alt. I'd be happy about a boost, if you're C3-adjacent.
And yes, I also asked Lost & Found. c:

Hacktivist deletes white supremacist websites live onstage during hacker conference
‚A hacktivist remotely wiped three white supremacist websites live onstage during their talk at a hacker conference last week, with the sites yet to return online.
The pseudonymous hacker, who goes by Martha Root — dressed as Pink Ranger from the Power Rangers — deleted the servers of WhiteDate, WhiteChild, and WhiteDeal in real time at the end of a talk at the annual Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg, Germany….‘

Them: Can you confirm you have no more than 15 personal electronic devices in your carry on?
Me: (excitedly infodumping) Well, it really depends what you consider to be a device. Many of these computers themselves contain multiple smaller computers. Consider these microSD cards (waves a small anti-static bag around), each of which has a tiny ARM processor - designed by a trans person from the BBC Micro team, if I might go off at a tangent for a moment. Or the battery controller chip on the LiPo pouch protection circuit, which significantly reduces the probability of a thermal excursion. And let's face it, nobody wants a spicy pillow in their lap at 30,000 feet-
Them: Just say yes. (Pleadingly) Just yes. That's all I'm asking. I'm begging you.

Second queue nerd: One of the most fascinating things is that some of these little computers run a full operating system. Obviously most people would expect this be a cut down Linux distro like Alpine (other queue members nod in agreement) or perhaps a declarative infrastructure-as-code type approach like NixOS (some people become visibly excited at this point), but actually there are some really weird edge cases, like when your 5G modem turns out to be running Android with some "interesting" apps installed by the OEM - instead of what you thought was just a proprietary blob of baseband gloop.
Third queue nerd: I'd just like to interject for a moment-
(Hysterical laughter from the entire airport security nerd queue.)
Antifa choir: (which has just manifested spontaneously like they do) "Scheiß AfD, und Scheiß RMS!"

I lost my money bag with all my cards in the Cory Doctorow talk somewhere when moving to another seat. In shock I went straight after the talk to “Lost and found”. I don’t know how, but it was there and fully complete!!! It moved faster than a human without loss! That’s only possible in #39C3 ! Thank you to the excellent persons who found it and make the magic happen ❤️!

Anyone in my followers who is at #39c3 that I haven't met up with yet?
