Emergente Systeme, nachhaltige Konflikte, Warum unsere IT nicht an Hacks scheitert – sondern an sich selbst
Most IT systems fail not because someone makes a mistake.
They fail because no one understands the overall behavior.
This SOS deals with emergent system effects:
situations in which correctly built components together produce something
that no one planned, modeled, or controlled.
Using real-world examples from IT infrastructure, cloud dependencies, API designs, AI usage, update cascades, and financial and identity systems, we show
how technical decisions can create lasting stress and conflict – often without a classic attacker, without an exploit, without a clear trigger.
In line with the 39C3 motto “Power Cycles – Rethink, Reboot, Restart,” the session asks the question:
What do we need to rethink before we restart?
What can be rebooted – and what needs a fundamental rethink?
The term “sustainable war” is understood not in a military sense, but in a systemic sense:
- as a state of permanent repurposing,
- overstretching, and creeping destabilization of IT systems,
which
- drives innovation,
- undermines resilience,
- and generates social side effects.
Especially in times of global upheaval – geopolitical, technological, social –
autonomy, dependencies, and resilience must be reevaluated.
Not as buzzwords, but as concrete system properties.
The session is aimed at:
- Administrators, security engineers, CISOs
- Architects, technical decision-makers
- People from think tanks, regulation, and technology impact assessment

Astrology is usually associated with horoscopes, prediction, or belief systems. In this self-organised session, we’ll test a different idea: using astrology as a symbolic language to reflect on daily routines, decision-making, and energy management — without fate, mysticism, or “the stars made me do it”. The session is interactive and experimental. We’ll look at how astrological concepts can function similarly to tools people already use: retrospectives, calendars, personality models, ...

Jujutsu (jj) is a new version control system that uses Git as its backend. Since trying it last year, it has completely replaced Git for me. It manages to be less complex than Git, while giving you more control. I think you'll like it too! Lately, when people ask me complex Git questions, my answer is often: "First, install jj…" And that's only half a joke. :P --- A few things I like about Jujutsu: There's no index, but instead you get a subcommand for splitting changes. Commits have stable ...

How can we work together to improve political decision-making processes in the long term? What do you want from democracy? Motivation: While our democracy can be shaped by the people as they wish on paper, the population seems to be largely dissatisfied with political actions: - The handling of many crises appears to be inadequate - Urgent problems seem to be postponed - Democratic participation seems tedious and ineffective Dissatisfaction mixed with these perceptions can lead to the loss of ...
