#Thanks to all who made it possible for me to give my talk on #fascism, #society, #cyber & #resistance on the big stage @ #39C3 !

The talk is online https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-all-sorted-by-machines-of-loving-grace-ai-cybernetics-and-fascism-and-how-to-intervene as well as an #interview with #ARD #Tagesthemen https://www.tagesschau.de/tagesthemen/video-1539458.html

To all who noticed all the mistakes I made in my talk & my slides: #Happy to provide good natured fun - but due to an infection there was really no time. It was either quit or live with many mistakes

And the topic was too important to quit

I want to use the last day of the year to thank the community here on Mastodon.

Every day, I learn things here that are worth learning. The discussions are, by Internet standards, very polite and focused on the issues.

But most importantly, I see people here having a voice that they do not have in traditional media or in algorithm-driven social media.

That makes Mastodon extremely valuable, and we should all strive to preserve that.

The year 2025 has been a tough one, and I have little optimism that 2026 will be easier. We will likely see a further rise in authoritarianism, fascism, and racism.

To stem the tide, we must work together. My wish for the coming year is that we continue to see others fighting the same fight as allies, even if they have different priorities for where they invest their energy.

But please take care of yourselves. Do not feel guilty about time spent on self-maintenance. Keep this in mind: You can only help others if you are first in a position to do so.

Best wishes from Kiel, Martin

P.S. Special thanks to @jerry for maintaining this instance. I really feel "at home" here.

I have something else to be thankful for today. At this moment in time I am busy restoring functionality on systems so that I will be able to resume important remote tasks, which shall enable me to restore the level that I am used to, when it comes down to actual value of goods

This work is highly specialized and needs a set of computing systems, communication systems which use GSM messaging systems and other means of signalling, in order to properly Act, monitor react and deploy the remote systems, of which a set of those are managed deployed monitored and configured through Proxmox.

@gyptazy has made incredibly wonderful contributions to the community of Open Source and I'm specifically highlighting his work in for example the great Proxmox load balancer.

Through the Work Of Him and other hundreds to thousands nameless Open Source coders, programmers en hackers am I able to do this work.

I am fortunate enough to have virtually met him here on the FediVerse through a beautiful forward that @stefano has made, who also makes great contributions in Open Source

Without the work of these incredible people none of this would have been possible. I would be sitting watching this beautiful scenery that I would have made myself with props

There would not be any Open Source Operating Systems, plural, driving the displays.

Being Grateful is important. Giving Thanks sends a beautifully Modulated Pulse of Energy, through the Universe to everyone.

I am thankful to you all
