    The 39th Chaos Communication Congress (39C3) takes place in Hamburg on 27-30 Dec 2025, and is the 2025 edition of the annual four-day conference on technology, society and utopia organized by the Chaos Computer Club (CCC) and volunteers. Congress offers lectures and workshops and various events on a multitude of topics including (but not limited to) information technology and generally a critical-creative attitude towards technology and the discussion about the effects of technological advances on society.

    Day 1 is nearly over. Any favorite talks or other thoughts?

    edit: Wow... To sign or not to sign: Practical vulnerabilities in GPG & friends has the highest view count right now and I can see why. Pretty wild how broken GPG is!

      Personally I like to limit the number of big, recorded talks I go to and try to do more of the litttle stuff one can only experience at congress. That's also a recommendation I ususally give to first-timers. You can always watch recordings, but there's so much other exciting stuff to see, people to meet, and small things to attend - and four days is simply not enough. Of the big talks I only went to the GPG vulnerability one and the one by Linus and Marc-Uwe Kling yesterday.

    My hacker friends are all there. I only just heard about the conference a couple of months ago but am very interested and will be going next year. It's no 32 or 64, but the big 4-0 might be extra special.
