    Freitagsfoo – Reverse engineering for fun and profit!

    Vortrag im Chaosdorf vom 31.10.2025, gehalten von @3nt3

    > I tried reverse engineering a plugin for davinci resolve because I am not rich, can't buy it as a tax write-off and wanted a challenge. I do not endorse bypassing DRM illegally … heh

    Die Auseinandersetzung mit #Urheberrecht im Kontext von #KI ist wichtig, insofern ist es toll, dass das auch auf der #gpn25 Thema war (media.ccc.de/v/gpn23-207-opens). Ich bin mir aber nicht sicher, ob ich ganz grundlegende Dinge richtig verstanden habe. Es wird da immer von "Nutzung" gesprochen. Nutzungsrechte i.S. des UrhG haben aber immer irgendwas mit Vervielfältigung/Vorführung zu tun. Das bloße Benutzen von Werken Dritter ist davon nicht berührt ... für KI-Training ist das nicht irrelevant.

    A post-American, #enshittification-resistant internet - by Cory #Doctorow

    "The #Trump #tariffs are here, and it's time to pick the locks on the those #handcuffs and set the world's hackers loose on Big Tech.

    Happy #Liberation Day, everyone!"


    strong recommendation to watch!

    Wow! Was für ein furioser, mutiger, mitreissender Blick von Cory Doctorow auf eine Vision einer Welt von befreiten Computern, Technologien und Menschen! Er benennt deutlich die aktuellen Probleme, umreisst eine schöne Alternative – und hat viele inspirierend-schräge Ideen, wie wir dahin kommen könnten.
    Los gehts! 🤩

    Irgendwie fühlt sich das nicht so krass an, wie es sollte. Trump "darf" mal eben so über die gesamte westliche Hemisphäre entscheiden. Gibt es irgendwelche nennenswerten Reaktionen aus der EU da drauf außer "DaS iSt VöLkErReChTlIcH kOmPlIzIeRt"?

    Listening to this sweeping talk by @pluralistic I can't help but see parallels to the #HackerManifesto

    There's a glimpse at a different #DigitalWorld in addition to a thorough criticism of current trends.

    "A post-American Internet"? The talk shows that the #Internet and #Cyberspace are far from elusive, untouchable realms but instead are very real in terms of #Power. The digital world is very much shaped by the US which for years has unsettled other states and puts further strain on the #Multistakeholder approach, which in the words of Milton Mueller was enacted specifically to make sure, no one government would dictate the rules of the Internet.

    Really interesting is the observation, that we might be at a tipping point for #DigitalGovernance. A new coalition emerges thanks to #Trump, bringing together such different groups as Digital activists and national security hawks for #DigitalSovereignty

    The talk is a great illustration of the importance of #TechGeopolitics and picking up many themes I've also addressed in my newsletter like #TechDebt. Subscribe here: explore.ghost.org/p/nicolas-za

    Seizing the means of #computation
    after Drumpf implemented #tariffs as the threat that coerced so many countries and companies into anti-circumvention compliance?

    I mean, if someone threatens to burn your house down unless you follow their orders, and they burn your house down anyway, you don't have to keep following their orders!

    Cory Doctorow's #39c3 talk is really good; do check it out:

    Wir haben in den letzten Monaten auch viel mit LiaScript experimentiert. In Kombination mit #codeberg macht das total viel Spaß und man kann nachhaltige, leicht pflegbare und interaktive OER-Kurse erstellen. Ein großartiges Tool. Hierzu empfehlen wir auch den Vortrag von Rico Meiner von den #clt25 media.ccc.de/v/clt25-355-freie #FediLZ

    Walg – V Review

    By GardensTale

    As I have mentioned before, I’m focusing primarily on contact form promos this year. But every now and then, I will make exceptions, mostly to cover bands I have seniority over. Fortuitous, then, that twice-listing meloblack mavericks Walg sent their fifth opus V in through our back door, allowing me to keep my streak and eat it too! I admit, I did grovel for the promo because I finally wanted to give the Dutch duo their dues with a real review, rather than relegating it to yet another TYMHM article. But my point stands, and so does my hype. Will Walg keep up its insane release-rate-to-quality ratio?

    That’s largely a yes, and I’ll get to the caveat later. If you’re new to the band, Walg is melodic black metal distilled to its purest form. Equally catchy and vicious, the studio-only pair has settled handily into a niche somewhere between modern …And Oceans, early Dimmu Borgir, and Old Man’s Child. They don’t break new ground, but are absolute experts at treading the old. Yorick Keijzer is a beast on vocals, his primary weapon a slavering snarl still chewing the meat from its last kill. But he flips just as easily to a hoarse howl straight from the DSBM handbook. Robert Koning adds the occasional ICS Vortex adjacent cleans, and also all of the instrumentation, which spans a fairly broad range of high-speed assaults, atmospheric folk intros and interludes, and intricate multi-part melodic movements.

    50-odd quality tracks in 5 years is hard to do without some sort of formula, and it has become easier to recognize the handful of structural stencils Walg employs. Usually, the band can dazzle hard enough to distract from that sense of familiarity, but the back half of V consistently fails to draw my attention away entirely from the man behind the curtain. “Zielsalleen”1 leans a little too much on the same hook and the decrease in pace of “Pijnlichaam”2 is not accompanied by as gripping a riff as it needs. These tracks are not even a little bit bad, by the way; most bands would kill to write something as powerful as the final minute of “Ego-Dood.”3 They are just a smidge harder to love without reservation when I’ve heard the same band do better with the same tools.

    But 4 tracks that are merely very good still leaves 5 that are every bit as strong as Walg has ever written. Opener “De Vlinder en de Dromer”4 takes all of 0.5 seconds to launch into an intense onslaught of ariose tremolos that reminds favorably of …And Oceans’ “Cosmic World Mother.” Follow-through uppercut “De Adem van het Einde”5 employs a riffing style that borrows from NWOBHM and speed metal for an exhilarating turn. And centerpiece “Daar Waar Stilte Spreekt”6 is downright addictive with its jaunty swinging rhythm that conjures imagery of ghost ships and haunted cliffs. There’s no fat on the compositions either. Walg may have a formula, but one of its most potent ingredients is a strict lack of bloat. Koning and Keijzer would rather end a track early than overstay its welcome, and the entirety of V runs a svelte 40 minutes. Combine that with the excellent, rich production and finely tuned mix, and you get some of the most replayable black metal in the scene.

    Infinite growth is impossible, and Walg’s meteoric rise had to slow down somewhere. But in this case, it means nothing more than a small step below the pinnacle that was IV. The front-loading of the album makes the flaws of V a tad more noticeable and makes me less hungry to spin it again the moment it’s over. But every time I do, I still get my head caved in and my neck snapped in twain, and with Walg’s production speed, that remains a colossal achievement. If you like melodic black, you owe it to yourself to give V a few spins, and I would hardly be surprised to see this wind up on a few Top 10 lists anyway.

    Irgendwie fühlt sich das nicht so krass an, wie es sollte. Trump "darf" mal eben so über die gesamte westliche Hemisphäre entscheiden. Gibt es irgendwelche nennenswerten Reaktionen aus der EU da drauf außer "DaS iSt VöLkErReChTlIcH kOmPlIzIeRt"?
    Vielleicht sowas wie hier media.ccc.de/v/39c3-a-post-ame auf dem #39c3 vorgeschlagen wurde?

    Mit Gegenzöllen tun wir uns übrigens nur selber weh. Wir sollten lieber Cory Doctorow zuhören und das Antiumgehungsgesetz (und vergleichbare Gesetze) abschaffen.
    Das sagt zwar kaum jemandem noch was, ist aber verantwortlich dafür, dass Technik immer schlechter wird und besonders US-Konzerne davon profitieren. Eingeführt wurde es u.a. weil die USA drohten, sonst Zölle einzuführen. Und wenn sie das eh schon machen, hat der Tiger ja seinen Zahn verloren.

    Damit würden wir gleich 4 Fliegen mit einer Klappe schlagen:
    1) Angemessene Reaktion auf Trump ohne einen Zollstreit zu riskieren.
    2) Keine höheren Preise bei uns durch Gegenzölle.
    3) Förderung der heimischen Wirtschaft und Deregulierung an einer sehr sinnvollen Stelle.
    4) Maßgebliche Verbesserung unserer Technikgestaltung.

    Am besten lasst ihr @pluralistic selbst erklären:

    Listening to this sweeping talk by @pluralistic I can't help but see parallels to the #HackerManifesto

    There's a glimpse at a different #DigitalWorld in addition to a thorough criticism of current trends.

    "A post-American Internet"? The talk shows that the #Internet and #Cyberspace are far from elusive, untouchable realms but instead are very real in terms of #Power. The digital world is very much shaped by the US which for years has unsettled other states and puts further strain on the #Multistakeholder approach, which in the words of Milton Mueller was enacted specifically to make sure, no one government would dictate the rules of the Internet.

    Really interesting is the observation, that we might be at a tipping point for #DigitalGovernance. A new coalition emerges thanks to #Trump, bringing together such different groups as Digital activists and national security hawks for #DigitalSovereignty

    The talk is a great illustration of the importance of #TechGeopolitics and picking up many themes I've also addressed in my newsletter like #TechDebt. Subscribe here: explore.ghost.org/p/nicolas-za

    Siehe auch den extrem sehenswerten Vortrag von Julian Hessenthaler (das ist der der das Ibizavideo organisiert hat) vom 29.12.2024 / Chaos Communication Congress #38c3:

    "5 Jahre nach Ibiza - Wie Rechtspopulisten in Österreich innerhalb von 5 Jahren zurück zu alter Größe kamen und sogar die Wahl gewannen. (...) Wie schnell und wie weit eines der Vorbilder der EU Länder unter den richtigen Gegebenheiten und Einflüssen sich zum Paria wandeln kann sollte als ernstzunehmende Warnung auch in Deutschland verstanden werden. (...) Es ist Vorsicht geboten.Nicht nur in Österreich"
