A tongue-in-cheek introduction to the s390x architecture, still used in IBM mainframes, focusing on the craziest or most unexpected features.
A tongue-in-cheek introduction to the s390x architecture, its history, its weirdest quirks, and its unexpected features. But also the cool bits!
Have you ever wondered why anybody would ever have a need for a *"Compare and swap and triple store"* instruction?
What about a *"Rotate then or selected bits"* instruction?
And what about vector BCD instructions? Or decimal floating point?
Have you ever wondered how an architecture would look like if it could access 16 distinct address spaces at the same time? Or... why?
No? *We don't care*! We will present those (and many more) instructions and features anyway!

Creating documentation is often boring and needs a lot of copy&paste to update the different output formats. I'll show you my workflow creating textbased documentation with asciidoctor and convert it through a pipeline to html, pdf and some more formats.

IPLD -- "InterPlanetary Linked Data" -- is a data format with a canonical hashing scheme. With canonical hashing, we get immutable linking; and with this, we aim to build libraries and tools for decentralizing anything and everything. We need foundations for building whole ecosystems that are immune to "Error 451": IPLD is a mechanism for getting there.

Auf den vergangenen Camps fand ein Live Monitoring der Stromversorgung mit kommerziellen Poweranalysatoren statt, diese sollen durch eine eigene kostengünstige Lösung auf Basis des ADE9000 / ADE9078 ersetzt werden. Zusätzlich zum LAN erfolgt eine Statusmeldung über eine DMR Anbindung mit MMDVM.
