rC3 Fahrplan – The Chaos Communication Congress 2021 schedule

I'm depressed about rC3. I totally get that we can't meet up in person and hack all day but this year I've been so unexcited about rC3 that I didn't even bother to get a (free) ticket.

Of course, I value everybody's enthusiasm towards continuing a tradition. I'm happy the scene continues to do their best and I'm grateful to be able to listening in the talks.

But it still feels off. The congress and other chaos events are so much more than what the live streams portait. It's exhibition halls full of nerds. Waves of applauses and cheering of everyone's excitement. Pixelflut, tschunk, blinking LEDs and having an awesome time with my haxor friends for 3 days a year.

Fingers crossed that we can meet in person next year!

I miss the sound system. :(

I liked club music okay, but had never experienced a proper German 8(12?)x18" thumping club system until CCC. I went back to America and built my own folded horn, 6kW system after that, but it's still not the same..

yeah agreed. The disco areas they had in 2019, the sound was so super crisp. I wish I could reproduce the high fidelity clicking they played in some tracks

Function one soundsystems are the crisp bomb

Some related events took place normally this year, e.g. Camp++. Hackerspaces in some cities are also active, open and provide some of that atmosphere.

Don't passively expect the real Congress to come back (I think it's dead). Work towards finding substitute events that suit you instead, they will grow and eventually replace what Congress used to be.

There is no reason to assume that the meatspace Congress is dead. It's no more dead than any other event with large crowds. The demand is there and the will to organize it is there as well.

Dude, I think you forget about the pandemic.

There's no way any other event could be a in-person event right now.

Yeah, if congress happened in say, August instead of late December, I'm sure it would have happened in person.

There were multiple of the European hacker camps scheduled for this year and all the large ones had to cancel, I very much doubt Congress would have been able to happen either.

Not dead at all - there would've been a "real" Congress this year, had the situation allowed for it.
