Is it still so hard to get a ticket? In previous years I've looked at getting one but they seemed to be sold out constantly.

There are two open sale dates and they sell out 1s after the start.

Ah yeah I don't have the attention span for that.

I do go to the hacker camps sometimes but they don't sell out like that. Usually they're available for months leading up to the event.

I wonder why they don't just make the event big enough?

Holy moly people feel entitled about joining a volunteer run (even things like health and security) organization.

Did anyone tell you the story of the disastrous attempt to organise a gay trans furry orgy as a conference event at one CCC?

If you want some input; I have to assume you are getting downvoted because you are posting a vague unsubstantiated criticism that isn't particularly interesting and while perhaps a little germane also does not invite further conversation (you've essentially posted "I don't like this". What exactly is anyone else meant to do with this?).

the problem is it was a very interesting situation, but as usual I dont want to be too clear about it, to protect identities, but as as happened before, I get downvoted or told " without evidence I dont believe you".

Im not saying you are wrong its just I guess I wont bother as much, I just sometimes feel compelled to try and notify the community sometimes of something that was odd / of interest, but increasingly its just not picked up on.

At some point I wonder if its worth the effort.

But perhaps some readers pick up on it and figure things out.

If 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. Entry is completely free of charge, with a donation being appreciated.

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:

And thee weeks later there is Interfug in Chemnitz. Even smaller, but the intimate atmosphere can be quite cozy.

This year will be the first time I go to Interfug. I found it while browsing the CCC event calendar 2 weeks ago. I have no idea what to expect, especially because the program preview currently up only lists a few talks (but it clearly says it is still not the full program).

Still, even if there aren't many talks, I like the spirit of these conferences and very interesting conversations you get to have with very interesting people who go there.

Plus, it's only a 90 min train ride away from Dresden, so if I don't like it, I will just go home.

It's called the "hallway track" when you spend your time talking to people around, instead of going to one of the conference rooms to watch the talks at any conference.

Thanks for the tip! I've never attended anything like tyis before.

> extremely right wing misogynism of DefCon.

Can you elaborate? I thought a lot of LGBT people attend regularly?

pid0x17 5 days ago|||
I was also wondering what they meant, tbh, but I have never been to DefCon, so I don't know.

One ex-colleague from my previous employer was there, though, and he absolutely loved it.

mitxela 5 days ago|||
those can both be true at once though
drbscl 5 days ago||
Yes, but not commonly. Hence my request for elaboration

Is it specific about DefCon or are you describing the US?

Having been to defcon a number of times, I truly have no idea what you're talking about.
