The videos are online from the 38^th Chaos Communication Congress (38C3). It took place in Hamburg, from Friday the 27^th through Monday the 30^th 2024. The conference is organized every year by the Chaos Computer Club e. V. (CCC) which is Europe's largest association of hackers. The CCC also organizes campaigns, events, lobbying, publications, anonymizing services, communication infrastructure and even hackerspaces.

The Congress is always interesting, so picking semi-randomly from the English subset of talks at the 38C3 highlights include:

• We've not been trained for this: life after the Newag DRM disclosure - a follow up to last year's presentation on DRM in passenger trains in Poland
• From Silicon to Sovereignty: How Advanced Chips are Redefining Global Dominance - chip manufacturing
• Breaking NATO Radio Encryption - a weakend ÆSderivative
• A fully free BIOS with GNU Boot - an overview

  Just keep in mind a significant fraction of talks are "Queersupport - weil junge Queers ein offenes Ohr brauchen!"

  I would abhor a conference drifting off-topic in such a way. However, this seems to be the only talk about queerness/gender issues, which is tolerable IMO, as there is overlap (and possibly enrichment) between queer and computer-affine people. Actually, there seems to be a second one totaling roughly 2%.

  Certainly, there also some politics talks as well, the slant being left-leaning. Just skip what you don't like.

  Historically has not been a viable long strategy to entryism in any form of media. More enter until the legacy population who started the thing leave entirely. Rinse and repeat in the next environment. Hopefully you're right and I'm wrong as I do like conferences.
