A firmware was written from scratch to replace the stock one on the Atten AT860D hot-air stations. It is implemented in PIC16F887 assembler, and buildable using the FOSS gputils toolchain. This talk describes the reverse-engineering of the hardware, the layering of subsystems from HAL to UI, and implementation of the subsystems. Ideas for improvement and lessons learned. This would be based on my blog post at https://tommie.github.io/a/2024/03/foss-firmware-at860d. The code is available under GPL-3 at https://github.com/tommie/at860d-firmware. A proof-of-concept of an event-based RTOS for PIC16F is in https://github.com/tommie/dios, which is an extension to the code structure used in the firmware. The duration is flexible 25-45 min, depending on the interests of the audience, and how deep they want to go on ZCC/PFC triac control, PIC assembler, and event-based vs state-based code structuring. (The form required me to add a session image, so I did, though the text suggests it's optional. :) about this event: https://fahrplan.cosin.ch/fahrplan/2024/events/cb639f26-9b25-5945-8226-45b5e04946da/

In den 60er Jahren revolutionierte eine von Jugend-Bewegung die westliche Kultur. Die Hippies schufen eine echte Alternative zu Kapitalismus und Patriarchat und strebten eine Welt an, in der Frieden über Krieg siegt, alle Menschen gleich sind und der Konsum nicht alles beherrscht. Diese „Gegenkultur“ spaltete sich bald in verschiedene Flügel auf, die sich heute gegenseitig bekämpfen. Welche zeitgenössischen Bewegungen knüpfen an diese Wurzeln an? Ist es an der Zeit, die Spaltungen zu heilen? Language: EN Translation: DE Recording: YES Back in the 60s a youth-led movement revolutionized Western culture. The hippies started a real alternative to capitalism and patriarchy, seeking for a world where peace prevail over war, all people are equals and consumerism is not ruling everything. This „Counterculture” soon split in different wings, which today fight against each other. Which contemporary movements are connected to this roots? Has time come for the splits to heal?

Leider ist die Bedienung eines Oszilloskop nicht ganz einfach, darum möchte ich euch in diesem Vortrag den Aufbau, Funktionsweise und die Einsatzgebiete des Oszilloskops zeigen. Das Oszilloskop ist neben dem Multimeter das wichtigste Messmittel in der Elektronik, weil man "sehen" kann was der Strom da so tut. Leider ist die Bedienung eines Oszilloskop nicht ganz einfach und braucht auch Übung. Darum möchte ich euch in diesem Vortrag den Aufbau, Funktionsweise und die Einsatzgebiete des Oszilloskops zeigen. Danach solltet ihr besser verstehen, wieso die Knöpfe auf allen Oszilloskopen so Gruppiert sind, wie sie es eben sind und was sie bewirken. Ziel ist es, dass ihr wisst - wann ihr welches Messgerät braucht - wie ihr das Messgerät so einstellt, das ihr das sehen könnt was euch interessiert - wie das Angezeigte zu interpretieren ist und wie genau eure Messung ist about this event: https://fahrplan.cosin.ch/fahrplan/2024/events/0b6d8225-d3b8-57cc-a220-412e140b4f19/

Eine Einführung in die dezentrale Verteilung von OpenPGP-Keys mit WKD, WKS und DANE. WKD (Web Key Directory) ist ein Standard, der die Verbreitung von OpenPGP-Keys via HTTPS beschreibt, wobei jeweils pro Domain festgelegt wird, von wo die Keys bezogen werden. DANE (DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities) ist ein Standard, der beschreibt, wie Public Keys (neben TLS- auch S/MIME- und OpenPGP-Keys) via DNSSEC-signierter DNS-Records verbreitet werden können. WKS (Web Key Submission) ist ein Verfahren, um OpenPGP-Keys mittels verschlüsselten und signierten E-Mails in eine WKD hinzuzufügen. Da ich bei der WKS-Implementation von GnuPG diverse Einschränkungen festgestellt hatte, habe ich meinen eigenen WKS-Service geschrieben, der Keys sowohl via WKD, als auch via DANE veröffentlicht. In diesem Talk gehe ich auch auf eben diese Einschränkungen und meine Lessons Learned ein. about this event: https://fahrplan.cosin.ch/fahrplan/2024/events/fdc0738b-d56d-50b6-9138-c9d88c19c35f/

Ich habe selber eine FPGA architektur in 7400 Logik realisiert und erzähle, was denn son ein FPGA überhaupt ist und wie dieser funktioniert FPGAs sind eine einzigartige Form von high-performance chip für Nichenanwendugen. Nur wenige kennen FPGAs überhaupt und noch weniger wissen, wie deren interne Architektur aussieht. Inspiriert durch Ben Eaters 8-bit CPU on breadboard habe ich selber einen simplen FPGA in hardware aufgebaut. Anhand dieses Models erzähle ich detailiert und low-level, was ein FPGA ist und wie ich meine Version entwickelt habe. about this event: https://fahrplan.cosin.ch/fahrplan/2024/events/289693b2-6203-5fb6-b569-aeb36c47020e/

Die plurale Gesellschaft wird rein statistisch betrachtet die neue Normalität, was uns vor drängende Verteilungs-, Repräsentations- und Teilhabefragen stellt. Statt die Transformation sinnvoll zu gestalten, wird Migration jedoch weiterhin zum Problem und als verhandelbar erklärt. Aktuelle Zahlen und Fakten zu Migration und demographischen Wandel durchbrechen das rechtspopulistische Narrativ und zeigen Wege in ein neues, inklusives Selbstbewusstsein. Moderation: Vanessa Vu Cihan Mutlu, Grundschullehrer (Berlin) Franziska Nguyen, DaMOst & Städteplanerin (Weimar) Nela Riehl, Gymnasiallehrerin (HH), EU-Kandidatin Volt Language: DE Translation: EN Recording: YES In statistical terms, the pluralist society is becoming the new normal, which raises urgent questions about distribution, representation and participation. Instead of shaping the transformation in a useful way migration continues to be framed as a problem and negotiable. Current facts and figures on demographic change and global migration disrupt the right-wing narratives and showways towards a new, inclusive identity.

Ohne DNS ist kein Webserver funktionsfähig. Neben dem offensichtlichen A-Record gibt es eine Vielzahl weiterer für Webserver relevanter DNS-Einträge, die in diesem Vortrag beleuchtet werden sollen. Neben den bereits bekannten DNS-Einträgen wie A, AAAA, CNAME existiert eine Vielzahl weiterer Einträge, die für Webserver von Nutzen sind und einer näheren Betrachtung unterzogen werden sollten (z. B. CAA, TLSA). Insbesondere werden wir uns auch mit den im RFC 9460 beschriebenen HTTPS- und SVBC-Einträgen befassen. about this event: https://fahrplan.cosin.ch/fahrplan/2024/events/ae97c307-be89-5c44-9938-d2bf66b4852d/

Die Graswurzelbewegung mobilisiert jüdische und palästinensische Bürger*innen Israels, um gemeinsam für Frieden, Gleichberechtigung, soziale und Klima-Gerechtigkeit einzutreten. Während die Minderheit, die vom Status quo der Besatzung und der wirtschaftlichen Ungleichheit profitiert, versucht, uns auseinander zu halten, wissen wir, dass wir - die Mehrheit - weit mehr gemeinsam haben.

Tech communities, like any other communities out there, face similar challenges around awareness, adoption, and management. But with open source communities we are typically designing and building software, all with the idea that if we build it they will come. However, we believe we know what our users want, because we are also users of the software that we build. But what if we build all of it and they don't come? In this session the speaker will delve into the how-to's of highlighting existing use cases and exploring new ones, in the context of noncode contributions made by an end user, such as outreach efforts, documentation initiatives, and contributor growth. They will also demonstrate how to foster community interaction on contributing content that drives adoption for an open source project.

In this talk, I will describe smart and intelligent open source based techniques you can use to monitor your Linux systems in order to avoid unnecessary outages and downtime. I will show how you can get quick and actionable alerts in case of system failures. You will learn how to use modern open source tools to receive timely notifications and information regarding your Linux systems. While email has traditionally been used to notify of IT system failures, it might not be suitable these days since there’s increased mobility. I will show how you can receive critical alerts on your mobile devices such as cellphones using XMPP Messaging. Alerts can also be sent in the form of voice notifications to smart home or office speakers. During this talk, you will also learn how to set up monitoring processes that watch for any signs of trouble on your Linux system. For example: High and unusual CPU usage, low memory, low storage space or failing hard disks, overheating, application failures. For application failures such as web and database services, I will share smart techniques you can use to recover with as little manual interaction as possible. Furthermore, I will outline the different open source based monitoring solutions that currently exist and how they can easily be installed and deployed on your Linux system.

Robotics stands at the forefront of technological advancement. It has had a great impact on both industries and our day-to-day lives, and with the recent advancements in AI technology, robotics will only get more important. Open source principles have been instrumental in driving progress in various fields, and it is true for robotics as well. A lot of software used in the field is open source, for example, ROS (Robot Operating System) and Gazebo etc. Linux distros like Ubuntu and Fedora have already established themselves as well known players in the robotics community. However, there is unique opportunity for openSUSE to carve its niche in this domain. This talk aims to explore this opportunity and outline a roadmap for building a robotic ecosystem with openSUSE. Drawing inspiration from existing initiatives such as Ubuntu's Robotics community and Fedora's Robotics Suite, I will propose ways to enhance openSUSE's relevance in the landscape. This includes the creation of specialized packages optimized for robotics applications, establishing partnerships with universities and research institutions to promote openSUSE adoption, and make a vibrant community of robotics enthusiasts and developers. Attendees can expect to gain insights into the pivotal role of open source in robotics and practical steps to advance openSUSE as a preferred platform. Whether you're a developer, student, or simply intrigued by technology and open source, this talk offers a vision for an innovative robotic future with openSUSE.

The last years have seen quite some improvements in Quantum Computers. As a sufficiently large quantum computer even if still several years in the future would be able to attack current day cryptography like RSA and Elliptic Curves, we need to start thinking and planning now about transitioning to quantum resistant / quantum safe or post quantum cryptographic ciphers where needed. We will give an introduction to the problem, talk about the state of the standardization and development, and what has happened already in SUSE Linux Enterprise and openSUSE. The last years have seen quite some improvements in Quantum Computers.

With immutable OS products like MicroOS and Aeon, openSUSE now offers a very different model of system management, one which emphasizes automation, hands-off management, and system self-care. It could be said that such products take the idea of "never touch a running system" and turn it into an operating model. This session will explore some of consequences of such a model, and encourage the shifts in mindset needed for those more used to "traditional" Linux systems to reap the full benefits available from products like openSUSE Aeon and MicroOS With immutable OS products like MicroOS and Aeon, openSUSE now offers a very different model of system management, one which emphasizes automation, hands-off management, and system self-care.

Juliet singt Songs über queere Selbstverteidigung mit ihren Fingernägeln oder das sich Verlieren in der passiven Rolle einer Lovestory. Mit etwas naiven Harmonien thematisiert sie dabei ambivalente Gefühle und arrangiert sie minimalistisch. Indierocksound und Ambientästhetik suchen Schutz in radikaler Verletzlichkeit. Kraft aus Brüchigkeit, Öffnung zum Anderen und neue Konstellationen von Gemeinschaft.

Es herrscht wieder Krieg in Europa, und die Lager formieren sich neu. Nukleare Drohungen werden ausgesprochen, Milliarden für die Rüstung mobilisiert. Die alten Abrüstungsverträge sind lange gekündigt, und Deutschland weigert sich weiterhin beharrlich, an einem Atomwaffenverbot teilzunehmen. Dabei muss mensch nicht mal pazifistisch sein, um bei Massenvernichtungswaffen die Linie zu ziehen. Leo ist gern gesehener Gast bei uns und nimmt uns mit auf seinen nimmermüden Kampf für eine Welt ohne Atomwaffen. Language: DE Translation: EN Recording: YES Europe is at war again and the camps are reforming. Suddenly we need weapons to defend friends from wars of aggression. Nuclear threats are being made, billions are being earmarked for armament, barely anyone speaks of a ban on nuclear weapons in this country anymore. But you don‘t even have to be a pacifist to draw a line at weapons of mass destruction. This is why we need international law more than ever as a moral compass.

Why is central logging so important? Convenience, availability and security. Convenience, as you have a single place to check instead of many. Availability, as you can check log messages, even if the sending host is unavailable. Security, as logs leave hosts as soon as they are produced, so an attacker has no chance to modify them. Developers, operators, and security have a single view of the whole network and can easily correlate events from multiple hosts. Often, the various tools to analyze log messages provide you with their own agents to forward logs to SIEM or other analytics tools. However, this is inefficient for several reasons. Most importantly, it is a waste of computing resources. You install multiple applications to do the same job: forwarding log messages. And these messages then travel through your network multiple times. So, what you should do instead is build a dedicated log management layer for central log collection. This ensures that log messages are collected only once. Using the OpenTelemetry protocol, logs, traces and metrics can be collected together, simplifying the architecture of collecting data about your infrastructure even further. From this talk, you can learn how to implement central logging using syslog-ng and how OpenTelemetry changes logging. Syslog-ng in openSUSE Tumbleweed already supports the OpenTelemetry protocol.

NeuVector is a open source container security platform. Key strengths are vulnerability and runtime scanning. I demonstrate in this talk how you ensure that only container images without a detected vulnerability move to the next stage in your Pipeline. How you define the baseline of allowed activities of your application. And how you can block the deployment into production if an unexpected behavior at runtime was detected in your testing stage. I'll use AWS CodePipeline, AWS CodeDeploy and AWS CloudFormation. The procedure is applicable to other toolset and Hybrid environments as well. NeuVector is a open source container security platform.

openSUSE is a project with a long proud heritage, however at it's heart we've always had a recurring problem. openSUSE is not SUSE. This session will investigate the problems that the Project and Companies shared names have caused both over the years. Assumptions will be challenged, expectations will be broken, and the session will kick off a grass roots effort from a number of community members to propose openSUSE finds a new, less ambiguous name for itself. openSUSE is a project with a long proud heritage, however at it's heart we've always had a recurring problem. openSUSE is not SUSE.

Am 9. Oktober jährt sich der antisemitische, rassistische und misogyne Anschlag von Halle (und Wiedersdorf) zum 5. Mal. Jana L. und Kevin Schwarze wurden dabei brutal ermordet. Der Anschlag ist Teil einer langen Geschichte rechten Terrors in Deutschland. Der Prozess gegen den Täter war ein besonderes Beispiel linker Solidarität, geprägt durch das beeindruckende Engagement der Überlebenden und ihrer Unterstützer*innen. Seither ist es in der Linken leiser um den Anschlag geworden. Nach dem 7. Oktober und dem Krieg zwischen Israel und der Hamas stehen viele Bündnisse auf der Kippe. Wie kann linkes, politisches Gedenken aussehen, das die Perspektiven der Überlebenden und Angehörigen der Ermordeten ernst nimmt, einbezieht und den Anschlag nicht in Vergessenheit geraten lässt? Wie kann ein Gedenken in 2024 aussehen, das rassistische und antisemitische Gewalt und Diskriminierung nicht gegeneinander stellt, sondern zusammen erinnert und bekämpft? Language: EN Translation: DE Recording: YES October 9, 2024 marks the 5th anniversary of the anti-Semitic, racist and misogynistic attack in Halle, part of a long history of right-wing terror in Germany. The trial against the perpetrator was an impressive commitment of the survivors and their supporters and a special example of left-wing solidarity. After October 7 and the war between Israel and Hamas, many alliances are on the brink of collapse. What can a commemoration 2024 look like that does not set racist and anti-Semitic violence and discrimination against each other, but remembers and fights them together?

IoT application developers that need to leverage the emerging cloud-edge continuum are faced with a number of challenges. Many of them derive from the limitations imposed by resource-constrained edge devices, infrastructure heterogeneity, and the need to meet criteria such as performance, resilience, security, data sovereignty, and energy efficiency. To overcome these obstacles, the EU project COGNIT (https://cognit.sovereignedge.eu/) is developing a new distributed Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platform that enables application developers to off-load tasks to a cognitive computing continuum. Through Artificial Intelligence enabled orchestration and automation, this Horizon Europe project will implement a disaggregated architecture that fits the nature of edge environments and abstracts the complexities of the underlying cloud-edge infrastructure. It enables for dynamically managing and adapting resources and workloads in response to incidents, security aspects, and other metrics that are relevant to the evolving needs of the workloads and applications. In this talk we will explore some of the sectors and use cases—including Industry & Manufacturing, Smart Cities, Cybersecurity, Wildfire Detection, Energy—in which the open source technology that we are developing in this project will bring an immediate benefit to IoT/edge application developers and end-users.
