Scratch is a awesome language and tool to get started with programming in a playful and creative way. This workshop is intended for complete beginners as well as those who already have some experience with Scratch. Not able to attend the workshop? Follow the steps on the field or at home: https://scratch.cmptr.nl --- Scratch is een geweldige taal en een programma om aan de slag te gaan met programmeren door een beetje creatief te klooien. Deze workshop is bedoeld voor zowel beginners als mensen die al wat ervaring met Scratch hebben. Kan je er niet bij zijn? Je kan de stappen ook op het veld of wanneer je terug thuis bent volgen: https://scratch.cmptr.nl
You'll learn the basics by creating an example game. After that, use your creativity and problem solving skills to make the game unique with your own rules and graphics. Ask around for help or to get advice on how to add a next challenge. If you already have some experience with Scratch, you can also learn how to create beautifully colored fractal curves. In a few steps, you'll create Scratch code that will use itself (recursion) to draw a pattern that has the same properties, no matter how much you zoom in. --- Leer de basis door een voorbeeldspelletje te maken. Gebruik daarna je creativiteit en vindingrijkheid om je spel uniek te maken met eigen regels, afbeeldingen en animaties. Vraag rond voor hulp of om advies te krijgen om een volgende uitdaging aan je spel toe te voegen. Als je al wat ervaring met Scratch hebt kan je ook leren hoe je prachtig gekleurde fractals kan maken. In een paar stappen maak je Scratch-code die zichzelf gebruikt (recursie) om een patroon te tekenen die steeds dezelfde eigenschappen heeft, hoe ver je ook inzoomt. ### Practical information - Please check back here later, when more information about the location is available - The workshop will be a mix of English and Dutch, and you can read a bit in both languages. Händen und Füßen will be used if necessary. - You need to bring your own computer or tablet that connects to the internet. Don't forget to charge the battery and bring someone to help you with carrying and using it if necessary. - You can use Scratch with almost any computer or tablet that runs an internet browser. Try: https://scratch.mit.edu/create. Bigger, brighter, upright screens work best. - Scratch was designed for ages 8 and up. Bringing or asking someone to help you solve programming challenges together can be a lot of fun. --- ### Praktische informatie - Kijk hier nog een keer kort voor de workshop, als er meer informatie over de locatie bekend is - De workshop zal een mix van Engels en Nederlands zijn, en je kan iets lezen in beide talen. - Neem je eigen computer of tablet met internetverbinding mee. Vergeet 'm niet op te laden, en neem iemand mee die je helpt met dragen en gebruiken als dat nodig is. - Scratch werkt op bijna elke computer of tablet met een internetbrowser. Probeer: https://scratch.mit.edu/create. Grotere, heldere schermen die rechtop staan werken het beste. - Scratch is ontworpen voor 8 jaar en ouder. Het kan leuk zijn om iemand mee te nemen of te vragen je te helpen samen programmeeruitdagingen op te lossen.

This is a submission for a keynote talk at MCH2022. The Internet is both a familiar, comfortable place as well as a bottomless rabbit hole you can lose yourself in. The Internet has always been like this from its inception, the difference now is the scale and consequences are almost immeasurable - and it tests the limits of human imagination. When you look into the mirror of the Internet what you see reflected back depends on what you are looking for. It has become largely a reflection of ...

Have you ever forgotten a passphrase or lost a hardware token? Lost access to enough Bitcoin to buy a pizza or two? Encryption is fundamental to securing our liberties, but key and password management remain difficult even for professionals, let alone the general public. This talk presents Passcrow, an Open Source project attempting to address one of crypto's largest usability issues: password and key recovery in a decentralized environment.

Thanks to DNSSEC and DANE, it is possible to automatically verify user@domain.name identities by checking with domain.name servers. The real problem however, is integration with existing protocols, instead of inventing something completely new and perhaps web-only. The purpose of our work on Realm Crossover mechanisms has been to design generic solutions that extend many different application protocols, without changing their protocol specs.
