Hi All,

The 39C3 (39th Chaos Communication Congress) was held in Hamburg from December 27–30, 2025. Organized by the Chaos Computer Club and volunteers, this four-day event featured over 160 talks and workshops covering hacking, hardware, AI, digital rights, and the societal implications of technology—under the motto “Power Cycles.” It brought together hackers, activists, artists, and technologists in a collaborative “temporary city” for critical discourse, creative exchange, and hands-on experimentation.

Hi All,

Until now, .swiss domain names have been primarily reserved for companies listed in the Swiss commercial register since their introduction in 2015. However, as of April 24, 2024, this exclusivity will change. Private individuals and sole proprietorships, even those not formally registered in the commercial register, will now have the opportunity to register .swiss domains.

Hi All,

In 2015 i wanted to know how many SMTP Servers used STARTTLS, SPF, DKIM, DMARC. I’ve programmed a Webspider with PowerShell and collected about 100'000 Domains. Then made another Script that queried those domains and made SMTP Connect to find out if STARTTLS was in the ELHO Response. The Result was a Report of about 100'000 Domains from the .ch Top Level Domain.

Hi All,

I’ve always asked myself, where on Google the Whatsapp Backup will be stored. It’s kind of hidden and does not count against the Quota of Google Drive.
