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/

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.

Climate change, wars, catastrophes, political uproar: Some things are going bad. Risk management on the higher OSI Layers has never been that important - so how well are you prepared? Is your company relying on software imports? Do you even know? do you have a clue where and how much open source software could one day be the one thing that safes your job, life, company? What is crucial for your setup, are your plans when things go bad? Don't get me wrong, this is not a prepper talk. This is about good enterpreneurship, good project management and about digital sobriety. Face it, you WILL run into problems. What's your alternatives? It's not only about digital sovereignty, sustainability, sobriety, or security. Whithout OSS, none of the above is possible. No matter if it's but the malware ransomware hacker attack that takes down your groupware, or the licensing server that keeps denying your requests. How will you cope? From OSI Layer 8 (the user) through managemennt (9 and 10) to 11 (global politics), everybody is affected, in the end this is a question of national security. Especially when spending tax money, you can rely, but you shouldn't depend on foreign actors, but we do. What's your plan?

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.

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.

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.
