- pid0x17If you live in Germany and would like to experience this on a smaller scale THIS WEEKEND, come to the CCC conference in Dresden, called Datenspuren, run by our local CCC Erfa-Kreis C3D2. It takes place from 18.09 - 20.09 in Zentralwerk Dresden.It is a beautiful and inclusive environment that highlights not only a lot local hackers, but also a lot of artists.I was there last year and it was amazing! I totally recommend it.You can find more info about the event and the featured talks and events here:https://talks.datenspuren.de/ds26/talk/https://datenspuren.de/2026/#start
- MashimoI have been to a couple of CCC events in my late teens'ish. Around 26C3.Over all can recommend, at least as a groups. I used it to meet some online friends for the frist time. Wifi / wardriving nerds that I spend a lot of time with online.But man, I think I have never been at a place with so many small negative experience with other people. Death by a thousand paper cuts. One older man out of nowhere loudly proclaimed I was Anti-semetic, because I was wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh. When sitting in the cellar in the "hacking area", friends of mine and me where coding on kismet or aircrack-ng, when someone from the neighboring desk asked what we where doing. After I told him he only lifted his nose slightly and with a smug smile said "Oh, that's what you call hacking today?"At one camp, where there even was an event on photography, someone I met almost went into a rage every time he saw a camera. Not pointed at him, just someone with a camera. Off he went to tell the camera owner about how it was last camp and his opinion ..Everything just minor interaction. But as a whole it's just not people I want to hang around with any more.
- teteHoly moly people feel entitled about joining a volunteer run (even things like health and security) organization.
- throwa356262"27 to 30 December 2026" I have always wanted to attend CCC in person, but these dates for the main conference only work if you are 20 and single...
- lolcIn the past it was "The Usual Suspects", now it is "Model Citizens". Back then smoking indoors at conferences was a topic hackers would discuss. Now I'm sure it will be a very serious conference full of grown-ups.Will not be able to attend this year :'-) Have to ask friends to get me a "Model Citizen" shirt!
- scientifikCliff Stoll was at DEFCON this year, would be great for Markus Hess to be at CCC to tell his side of the story.Link to Cliff's talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=656058JxTM0

- ionwakeI heard security failed to treat someone correctly after an attempted robbery, tbh put me off CCC. Not trying to be negative just hope they address this I was kinda taken aback.

- 749952599760806Hacker conference: against authoritarian government, with talk about security, privacy, opsec etc.Also: can only buy ticket online with credit card and real name, no onsite sell available, your name is probably give to conference administrator for checking ticket, he will probably give it to third parties or keep it for "good reasons", etc.Don't get me wrong, I like the talks, they are very good. It is just a bit funny for me. They can't try harder to be hackers? Or is it like this in germany always?
