#CCC #CCC2025 is now following in the footsteps of #Kawaiicon and being smart about taking #CleanAir seriously! Fantastic ahead-of-the-curve reporting this past November from journalist @violetblue

Great talk, for non-infosec people too!

@voltagex – #39C3 are also doing CO₂ monitoring this year à la #KawaiiCon so that attendees can assess the level of risk for each room / space 🎉
I’ll take a look tomorrow (🥱😴💤) to see if their setup is documented… 👀

Hey #kawaiicon one more thing as we head back to work: if you're going to try taking your full lunch break or finish on time and feel like you're already "failing" that’s okay.
Consistency isn’t about being perfect; just show up and try your best each day.
🌸 xoxo 🌸

@schwa Saw a great session at #kawaiicon on the weekend that pointed out that to date, all the factorisation papers have been physics experiments rather than tech demos (in that they all started from pre-chosen numbers). Worth watching when they get the recordings published.

My day 2 photos of #kawaiicon are now online as well in the same album at https://www.flickr.com/photos/4nitsirk/albums/72177720330167259
Have a great Sunday musing over all the fantastic talks and conversations. Many thanks @kawaiicon Crüe, all the volunteers, contractors, venue staff, and helpers who brought the event to life.

Had a great time at #kawaiicon good mix of spending a little bit of time with awesome folk and watching some great talks. Also got a good look at the Hikitia, a lovely old machine.

Hi #Kawaiicon ☀️🌈 after getting extra extra extra sleep I’m ready for day 2!
I’ll be around the con if you wanna talk about Bullshit Jobs! 😆

Ooo, I touched an Enigma machine!
But even better in some ways was the "numbers station" generator. I remember reading about numbers radio stations on conspiracist Usenet groups in the late 80s.
Seeing and touching one resolved an open question in my mind that I hadn't even realised was still there.

Getting an early seat for the next talk... #kawaiicon

Watching the twitch stream of #kawaiicon today was great! Looking forward to being there in person tomorrow!

Holy crap @errbufferoverfl.bsky.social, that talk isn't what I expected, but it was so good. #kawaiicon

Big kudos to @kawaiicon for putting in co2 monitors and wrangling the venue tech to keep ventilation at such great levels for a very packed audience

Earlier today I did some 'light' reading of the NZ Cyber Threat Report for 2021/22 and was stoked that it wasn't just all gibberish to my eyes and brain. Thanks to having been at #Kawaiicon and #Chcon this year, some of the jargon was familiar as were some of the examples. #ProfessionalDevelopment for the win.

A week ago I came back from #Chcon, my first non-Kawaiicon #infosec conference. So it was quite a bit of fun going through some of my photos from 10 #Kiwicon / #Kawaiicon events and realise for how long I've known some people already yet usually only see once a year. What a treat now to have had the opportunity for a second time this year. https://www.flickr.com/photos/4nitsirk/collections/72157637469446115

These flickr stats for the #Chcon photos rival the stats for #Kawaiicon albeit it was a much smaller audience. I'll not tax the flickr servers for a while until the next conference. 📷
Yes, I'm at the point of procrastination that I'm even looking at stats just so as not to write minutes and deal with emails (non-work related).

Bye, bye #Chcon end 5 Stags and Hanmer Springs. See you at #kawaiicon

I see I just missed the rebranded KiwiCon for 2022:

Man, Kawaiicon (Kiwicon) and Purplecon sound extremely brilliant. Also this article is written very well, highly recommend: https://thespinoff.co.nz/society/11-11-2019/from-bogans-to-bubble-tea-the-wellington-hacker-war-that-wasnt/ #purplecon #kawaiicon #kiwicon

Back at work after three security conferences in 8 days ... the NZ scene is very well catered for!
Just to be clear - these are public grass-roots non-vendor conferences, sponsored heavily by some excellent people and businesses to keep costs down for us all.
#chcon #purplecon #kiwicon, sorry #kawaiicon :-)
All provided positive inclusion, codes of conduct and mh-positive values. Plus excellent security content!
