In honor of cDcDay 2025, let it be known that we have deposited a Big Box o' cDc Booty (not that kind, y'filthy bastards!)... somewhere.
Where could it be? Who can say! Mebbe there'll be hints later, if we don't smoke too much nutmeg and forget.

Wow. HOPE (Hackers On Planet Earth), one of the most important hacker cons in the world, has been booted from their venue due to a right-wing extremist complaining about a single attendee's written pamphlet that was deemed to "espouse an anti-police agenda".
That's... really screwed up.

CULT OF THE DEAD COW can neither confirm nor deny widespread media reports that the Revised Edition of the cDc book contains ascii art of Dildog's butt and/or the activation codes for the cDc Monster Truck Launcher buried somewhere beneath the Mojave desert.
Able to share any info on the differences for those that have already read (and thoroughly enjoyed) the first edition?

His memory is a blessing. Cheers, man.

CULT OF THE DEAD COW is saddened to report that longtime cDc Ninja Strike Force member, Delchi, has passed over the great rainbow teleconference bridge.
He can now be found amongst the most blessed celestial engineers, venerating the great DemonSeed Elite, k-rad be his name.

For those that aren’t aware… He was also a committed DefCon Goon and gave back to the community any opportunity he had.
Goodbye my friend.
I’m glad we were able to spend time together recently.
Thanks for the hug and thank you for showing me you kept the fire in your eyes through the very end :)

The picture is Delchi at one of the famous L0pht parties.
People attended from around the world.

I performed Guitar (Berklee College of Music),
Delchi DJ’d (and auctioned underwear?),
Schneier, Weitse Venema, et al, shared thanks…

@delchi.bsky.social was SUCH a huge cDcNSF booster and organizer. He had a tough time of it, and it affected him a lot of ways, some of which were hard for him and others, but man he put in the work. He was particularly focused on disability access and awareness at hacker cons. RIP.

They can monitor who is USING a vpn, but not what people are using them FOR.
Absent a wholesale rebuilding of internet access/infratructure in the UK, they can't prevent VPN use, either.

The British government admits it is now monitoring VPNs use by UK residents. Regulator Ofcom has contracted with an AI-powered surveillance service to detect the number of citizens using VPNs to evade the Online Safety Act.
The UK tech minister has said a VPN ban is on the table.

Dylan Shea is one of the kindest, smartest people I ever met in the hacker scene. After he moved from San Francisco, I got to spend time with his family when I would travel to the Boston area to record music. When I heard this news, I doubled over in shock. Join me in supporting his son’s memory.

it's going to be like when we got rid of smoking in restaurants and on airplanes and within a matter of maybe a year everybody was like "we allowed WHAT?"
It's weird - but now in Oslo, there's so many EVs that you notice the noise and the smell from individual ICE cars, and you realise how much we've been normalising it for ever. You can smell them half a street away.
And inside parking lots are just *quiet*.
And inside parking lots are just *quiet*.
It's absolutely astonishing: In just about 13 years, Norway has skyrocketed from virtually no sales of zero-emission battery electric vehicles to nearly 100% of all new passenger car purchases.
