What I learned from making an 1836 LED dodecahedron
Going through the reasoning and design decisions made while creating pentagon shaped PCBs and a case for a 12 sided platonic solid.
Inspired by a huge dodecahedron installation by xHain hack+makespace and seeing Greg Davill's D20 LED cube at #36C3, davedarko swore to himself to make an LED covered dodecahedron.
Two years later the design process started, by deciding on a way to distribute LEDs. Then the next questions formed. How many LEDs can I put on it? How do you control 1836 LEDs that are spread over 12 PCBs? Do you chose neopixels or find an LED controller? What size is the angle between sides and what is it even called? How do you power it? Can I make new friends with it?
Be warned: This talk will cover enough information to make you consider building a platonic solid covered in LEDs yourself!

A few years ago I came up with an idea to help myself that would later develop into a video game project. It has taught me more than I would have expected so far and I would really like to share those things with you! DISCLAIMER: This talk may touch on some triggering topics. We will give a heads up before mentioning them within the talk so you can choose to leave the room or put some headphones on temporarily. We hope this works for you!

The world is getting more digital and activism is as well. But the world of It security can seem overwhelming and its easy to feel lost and helpless. In this talk I want to present the IT security guidelines that I am developing right now. They are meant to help for activists to find fitting security measures for a given activism project, without being 300 pages long or overly complex. Ideally they empower non technical individuals to protect their data better and make informed decisicions about ...
