This is a great explanation of git for people who have not yet had to work with it: https://speakerdeck.com/alicebartlett/git-for-humans

The Tragedy of Systemd is a wonderful talk by Benno Rice, which I highly recommend to anybody with opinions on systemd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_AIw9bGogo

He talks about attitude regarding change, and contempt culture, and the ideas that made systemd happen. It's a very informed calm discussion of both systemd features and community development. It's once again confirmed my positive impression of the BSD communities. #systemd

Wow, if you have access to a running ubuntu laptop, and you put it in suspend mode, and then remove the hardware, you can just log on to the running system afterwards (no password needed) and look at every still open/cached application, extract passwords kept in RAM (full disk encryption, anybody?), etc.

Dear chaos.social inhabitants – please be reminded that we ask you not to create invites for this instance that are valid indefinitely / for infinite people! We're looking for slow, organic growth, not a sudden onslaught as we've experienced in the past.

So feel free to invite friends and other people you want to see here – but please be responsible with this option.
Invites with indefinite availability are occasionally disabled by us, to prevent mindless use/abuse.

Zwei Profi-Software-Entwickler unterhalten sich:

Btw, if you want to see the #35c3 talks together with their descriptions and linked to their speakers, you can browse the pretalx mirror, which embeds the talk videos directly from media.ccc.de on the talk pages: https://pretalx.com/35c3/talk/9607/

Hmm, und wieder findet sehr viel interessante abschließende Diskussion zum #35c3 leider nur auf Twitter statt – wenn ihr zum Congress ne Meinung habt, die ohnehin nur in einen ganzen Tweetthread passt, macht doch nen Blogpost draus! (Das gilt fürs Fediverse auch: nicht alle sind hier, und Texte auf Webistes sind schöner zu linken und zu lesen.)

Alex Gerst ist da schon enorm anrührend. Nehmt euch die fünf Minuten. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UfpkRFPIJk
