Bezugnehmend auf die Ausstellung “Rache. Geschichte und Fantasie” im jüdischen Museum Frankfurt am Main (seit März 2022) verhandeln Max und Benny aktuelle Formen jüdischen Empowerments: Von den Radikalen Jüdischen Kulturtagen zu den Tagen der Jüdisch-Muslimischen Leitkultur, von der Rache zur European Union of Jewish Students. Etwas ist in Bewegung geraten. Nehmt euch in Acht! (mit Filmausschnitten von Moritz Richard Schmidt) Referring to the exhibition “Revenge. History and Fantasy” at the Jewish Museum Frankfurt am Main (since March 2022), Benni and Max negotiate current forms of Jewish empowerment: from the Radical Jewish Culture Days to the Days of Jewish-Muslim Guiding Culture, from Revenge to the European Union of Jewish Students: something is moving.

Der Tod. DAS Tabuthema schlechthin. Trotzdem: wir alle werden sterben. Gerade jetzt, in Zeiten von Pandemie, Krieg und Flucht ist dieses Thema präsenter denn je. Doch die Distanz zu Tod und Trauer ist groß. Darum lasst uns gemeinsam in einer achtsamen und tabufreien Atmosphäre über den Umgang mit dem Unausweichlichen sinnieren. Die Workshopleiterin klärt dabei rund um das Thema Sterben und Bestatten auf. Death. THE taboo subject par excellence. Nevertheless: we will all die. Especially now, in times of pandemics, war and flight, this topic is more present than ever. But the distance between death and mourning is great. Therefore, let us reflect together in a mindful and taboo-free atmosphere on how to deal with the inevitable. The workshop leader will inform you about the topic of dying and burial. about this event: https://c3voc.de

In der Diskussion um Ursprung und Umgang mit dem Corona-Virus wird über alles mögliche gesprochen, nur die wirkliche Ursache wird meist unterschlagen: die Zerstörung der Regenwälder und das Verhältnis Wildtier-Mensch. Je mehr Regenwald wir zerstören, umso eher kommt es zu einer Übertragung von Zoonosen auf die Menschen und andere Tiere. Ibu Marianne von Rettet den Regenwald nimmt uns mit auf eine Reise durch Wälder und globale Zusammenhänge - und gibt uns trotz allem Realismus auch Hoffnung. When we talk about origin and handling of corona-virus we often forget the real reason: the worldwide destruction of the rainforests and the relation of humans and wild animals. The more rainforest we destroy, the more likely are zoonotic deseases of human and other animals. Ibu Marianne invites us to a journey through forests and global interrelations – and despite all realism she still gives hope.

In this talk, Pim will demonstrate high performance routing using open-source VPP and its underlying Data Plane Development Kit. This talk highlights the authors work on integrating the Linux Control Plane which makes BGP, OSPF, etc available with VPP. We’ll then turn to a popular DPDK based network load testing tool TRex, and discuss performance benchmarking results from the field using the author’s AS8298 as a practical example. About the speakers Pim van Pelt is known for SixXS, a global IPv6 tunnelbroker which ran from 2001-2017. In this journey, he found that IPv4/IPv6 routing at scale (many interfaces, many prefixes or many packets/sec) was better handled in user space rather than the kernel (both for FreeBSD and Linux). Today, Pim operates IPng Networks, a small ISP in Switzerland, using AMD64 based routers running VPP, which will give silicon-based routers a run for their money. vNOG blog: https://virtualnog.net/posts/2022-06-24-vpp/ about this event: https://c3voc.de

Im Laufe der Zeit haben wir im Laufe der Videospielentwicklung Fortschritte wie auch Rückschritte gemacht. Dieser Vortrag erzählt von einer Zeit, wo Unterhaltung durch Videospiele durch Qualität erzielt wurde, welche heute noch eine Daseinsberechtigung erzielt während gewisse Entwicklungen verbraucherunfreundlich sind und nicht konsumiert werden sollten.

In this panel, five experts from NGOs and MEP Patrick Breyer (Greens/EFA, Pirates) will present the current situation with the data retention of citizen’s personal location and connection data in the EU, focusing on Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Ireland, Portugal, the Czech Republic and the European Commission. A new generation of data retention laws threatens the fundamental rights of citizens in the European Union. While the EU Court of Justice allows blanket data retention only in specific and limited exceptions, these laws by their very nature aim to collect communications data from virtually the entire population, breaking the bounds of the EU Court's rulings. This new generation actually wants to turn the exception of mass surveillance into the standard. The panel shows for example what the concept of "targeted" data retention really means and how dangerous the systematic storage of IP addresses is. The speakers call on the European Commission and the governments of the EU countries to stop the concept of mass surveillance throughout the EU and to respect the Court’s rulings as the absolute limits for exceptional cases only.

What is the meaning of life? I once wrote to every philosopher in the UK to ask them. Their answers were meagre and dispiriting. One even included a death threat. Since then I've moved on study why babies have such a great time being babies. Anyone who has met a baby knows how much they delight in the world. As a baby scientist I set out to discover why babies laugh so much more than the rest of us and what it tells us about the human condition. I've written a whole book about this but to save you reading it I will summarise the secret of babies happiness and reveal how it fits in nicely with the best answers to the meaning of life. about this event: https://c3voc.de

Over the past year or so, I've become way too interested in tracking London Underground trains with greater precision than anyone else so far. Transport for London provides an API ("TrackerNet") to get departure boards for all the stations -- but (ab)using that information to track the journeys of each individual train has proven much harder than expected. I'll explain how I built a system to squeeze useful insights out of an API not really designed to provide them -- including a fair few workarounds for TfL's capricious signalling systems, way more graph theory than I have any right doing, and why I now really hate the District Line. You'll be able to see how applying a carefully tuned pile of random maths lets me go from a chaotic jumble of data to a near-perfect model of the Tube map! I'll also cover the practicalities of running this system, explaining how I packaged it all up into a website people can actually use without getting banned by TfL for using their API too much or overloading the server I run it on. Don't let the mention of graph theory scare you off; this talk should be appropriate for all audiences, and should appeal to anyone with a casual interest in railways, open data, or infrastructure. about this event: https://c3voc.de

Fashion tells a story of who we are, expressing the opinions and positions of both wearers and designers. Fashion-tech -- fashion embedded with programmable electronics -- offers more dynamic expressions for fashion. This talk will first discuss the importance and direction of fashion-tech in our society today and in the future. We will also discuss lessons learned from our collective 15 years of experience as fashion-tech designers and common issues designers face creating such garments. From our experience, we have begun research and development of a kit, that requires no coding and no soldering, to help designers move past technological barriers and enable more creative exploration during the design process. Lowering technical barriers not only affects fashion-tech but opens new possibilities for art and innovation. about this event: https://c3voc.de

I’ve made some installations and art robots over the years, getting gradually more ambitious, and somehow this has turned into a job and a robot company, Air Giants. This talk is about that process, and about how taking a daft idea more seriously than seemed sensible at the time has turned out to be the right thing to do. I’ll also be talking about luck and money and logistics, all the things that need to happen to make it work. about this event: https://c3voc.de

Back in 2018 I got involved in an arts project called Pick Me Up and Hold Me Tight, by ZU-UK. The goal was to raise awareness of male suicide by making all 34,000 UK pay phones ring at 11am on New Years Day. Initially I backed their crowd funder as it seemed like a good cause and also I was curious how they were going to make that many phone calls technically. This is the story of how I ended up as the technical lead on the project and what we did to make a lot of phone calls in a very short space of time. about this event: https://c3voc.de

The USB type-C connector has become the universal connector for modern devices. It is able to transmit USB, video, power, and more, Often doing several of these at the same time. All, while maintaining backwards compatibility with older hardware using relatively simple adapters. This talk will explore the methods used to make this possible and the consequences of not following the spec (e.g. Invalid charging cables, or the issues on the raspberry pi type 4). Some basic electronics knowledge will be beneficial to understand everything in the talk but definitely not essential. For those looking to start using the connector in their own projects the talk will give the knowledge to do so. about this event: https://c3voc.de

Using end of life or 'scrap' EV & Hybrid parts and opensource firmware I'm making an electric motorbike, having got tired of making dirty diesel ones! The scrapyards are now filled with slightly broken EVs and Hybrid cars, and almost no one knows what to do with them. As a result the parts they are made from are very affordable and available for repurposing and hacking into your own projects. The project is far from complete so there is nothing to bring to the show as I was hoping but there is lots to talk about and discuss regarding the state of play of hacking scrapped and discarded power inverters. The motorbike project uses a battery from a BMW i3 electric car, the motor is from a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV & the main power inverter for driving the motor is from a hacked Prius running open source firmware with the motorcycle running gear from used motorbikes and a whole host of other bits connected together in ways never intended. The project is only possible using the work done by the EV car hacking community Openinverter.org and their community forum which have reverse engineered the EV power controllers allowing you to run open source firmware on them with some minor alterations. about this event: https://c3voc.de

Stories from the frontline of those trying to redirect the next $3.6 trillion of global investment into demonstrably carbon net-zero outcomes. This decade is arguably the 'last roll of the dice' when it comes to acting on climate. We've spent the last two years digging deep into financial and policy systems, working out how to shift money away from fossil fuels and towards things that might not be awful—and that markets might actually do at scale. Building on the experiences of developing the Open Banking Standard, the Open Data Institute and AMEE, we'll report on how we're progressing to try and deliver a *demonstrably* net-zero future—by unlocking real-world data-flows. Learn about what companies, countries, markets and governments are doing today: the good, the bad and the ugly. Learn what you can do, wherever you are, to be an Icebreaker and help all of us address our climate, environmental and biodiversity emergencies. This needs everyone. about this event: https://c3voc.de

Writing a gameboy emulator is probably the most rewarding hobbyist project I've ever embarked on. Not only is the process educational and enlightening, but it's hard to describe the satisfaction of playing Tetris on an emulator that *you wrote*. An emulator from scratch is not a small undertaking, but the Gameboy is well documented, and just simple enough that's it's possible for one person to write an emulator on their own. I recommend it to everyone! In this talk I'll show some of the highlights of the journey, and what to expect if you embark on it yourself. about this event: https://c3voc.de

On the surface of it it seems simple: tech and maker types have skills they enjoy using, and community groups have unmet needs that could be helped by these skills. Why then does it feel so incredibly hard to make these collaborations happen in reality? And why does it feel even harder to do it while meaningfully fighting the Tories, transphobes, racists, and neo-Nazis? This talk takes it back to the roots of why we are here and what we’re doing to explore why. I will break down how harmful neoliberal methodologies that dominate tech groupthink such as Human Centered Design and Design Thinking fundamentally restrict what can be made whilst presenting a cardboard cutout “ethics” that falls over at the slightest touch. Instead I introduce Community Technology Partnerships, a methodology developed at Geeks for Social change in collaboration with Manchester School of Architecture, based on “the capability approach”. This is a human development approach used by the UN and WHO developed by Martha Nussbaum and Amartya Sen that asks what people are able to *be* and *do,* and works to remove blockers to these concrete actions and states. This approach recentres community strengths at the centre of more holistic tech interventions that restore power to the people who need it the most.

A section of an airliner wing, born in North Wales and brought up in Toulouse, France and operated in South America, now lives in the Aerospace Bristol museum. This talk shows our experiences with building it into an interactive exhibit explaining how aircraft high lift devices work, and discusses what we've learned about using hobbyist electronics for an installation that has to run 24/7 for visitors. Using videos & photos of the exhibit we also go into an explanation of how the aerodynamics, structures, performance and systems topics make the wing what it is. For over a century, Bristol has been at the forefront of aeronautical and space technology, breaking boundaries to create the fastest, the biggest and the highest. Aerospace Bristol entertains & informs visitors with stories of human endeavour, individual genius and ordinary people achieving extraordinary things. about this event: https://c3voc.de

For years I've dreamed of building a scale model of a large railway station in the UK. I've also want to fully automate that layout, running trains in "real time" because I like a challenge. A few years ago I discovered that Network Rail provide access to loads of their data for free, and the part of me that loves half-baked ideas said "You could use that to run the model railway instead of coding it all yourself" In this talk, I'll be talking about my progress so far, what the challenges have been, and where I want to go next with it, as well as talking about how you can do the same using cheap hardware and open-source software. Now all I need is a large field to build a scale model of Cardiff Central... about this event: https://c3voc.de

"The Enigma Machine was an electro-mechanical device used in the mid-20th century to encrypt communications. An ingeniously simple and elegant combination of cogs, wires and lamps, all fitting into a portable case, it provided some of the strongest encryption possible at the time. During various Covid-19 lockdowns, I decided to re-enact this important development in the history of computing, through a project to build an Enigma machine at home, using modern components and digital design techniques. The completed project is made out of cheap hobby electronics parts and laser-cut wood, and can be assembled entirely by hand, with no gluing, screwing or soldering. I will reflect on what this process taught me about the challenges of electromechanical computing, security and usability, the changes in modern manufacturing and supply chains, and their impact on computing. This will be followed by a Q&A and a demonstration where you can see the home-made Enigma machine in action and have a go at encrypting and decrypting a message." about this event: https://c3voc.de

Scratch is a programming environment aimed at children ages 8 to 16. It's simple and easy to learn, but lacks many features that experienced programmers have come to expect, such as version control, bitwise operators, or integers! This talk provides a high-level overview of authenticated encryption with ChaCha20-Poly1305, and X25519 Elliptic-Curve Diffie-Hellman key exchange (both used in modern protocols), and how we overcame the challenges of implementing them efficiently in Scratch. The talk is aimed at those with an intermediate background in programming and maths, but not necessarily cryptography. Hopefully I'll make modern cryptography look a bit less inscrutable, while also showing that Scratch is a "real" programming language. about this event: https://c3voc.de

You put a bunch of scooters online and you have an app that can tell you if you're near one so you can hire it. But what can people do with that knowledge? What can you figure out if you can track a scooter's position in real time? What insight do you have into businesses? And how do you do this in the first place? This talk covers how to reverse engineer an app so you can obtain information yourself, poor design choices that allowed extraction of terrifying amounts of data, and a really cool picture that turns out to basically be a Chinese railway map but with extra steps. about this event: https://c3voc.de

A few of us struggle with completing projects. They pile up, often literally. A multitude of unhelpful feelings follow. Project management tools help but never seem to address what really holds us back. We start a new project, and the pattern repeats. You are invited to break this cycle. Come gain a deeper awareness of what stands between you and the future-you who finishes what they start. Leave with an alternative perspective of space and time, some solid strategies for overcoming barriers, and the confidence that your next project will be different. about this event: https://c3voc.de

What, exactly, does a gender transition involve? Over time, it has increasingly become the case that there is no simple answer. The degree to which people can now pick and choose what they want in terms of (de)masculinizing and (de)feminizing effects/procedures is astonishing - even to many transgender people and medical professionals providing them care. Much of this customization is especially attractive to non-binary (neither strictly male nor female) individuals. From simply unbundling things that have historically been considered package deals to experimental surgeries and outright biohacking... come learn about the gender transition "secret menu", compared and contrasted with the traditional options. This talk will cover the following topics: Social transition (briefly), including presentation, pronouns and name changes. Medical transition, including hormone replacement therapy, surgeries and specialized drug regimens. about this event: https://c3voc.de
