I just sent out volunteer notifications for @pancakescon. Thanks to everyone who offered to help!! I really need a few things for this conference to succeed:
- More CFP submissions.
- Village submissions
- We are still seeking a CTF provider.
- Prize sponsors.
Please feel free to message me. This is entirely a community effort with zero budget. It only succeeds if people help out.

"Because our rural areas can provide the acreage, the water, and the fracked gas that these facilities require, many of these operations are being proposed for our own communities."
"The residents who will be directly impacted by the facility were not notified, either informally or by way of community meetings. One resident, who was contacted by a friend about these plans, says he knows nothing about them."

A lot of water will be needed to cool data centers, but where is it going to come from?
datacenterdynamics.com/en/opin…
Even the data center industry is beginning to realize how incredibly environmentally destructive it is.
The tech industry has, since the 1950s, sold a Big Lie that it is ethereal, in the Cloud. Nothing could be further from the truth. Tech is toxic and hugely resource intensive.

At the beginning of the month, the Greek Parliament passed a measure to stop #asylum applications from North African countries for three months.
Greece's far-right Migration Minister #Plevris says that the path for people fleeing their countries is now “either to prison or back to their country.”
Suspending asylum procedures is a clear violation of human rights and is almost unparalleled in its cruelty.
Hundreds of people are now detained to be deported without asylum procedures.
It has long been clear that harsh measures designed to prevent people from entering the #EU do not lead to fewer people fleeing, they just make their already extremely dangerous journey even more life-threatening.
We call on the Greek Government to immediately withdraw this illegal legislation and demand freedom of movement for all!
