Open discussion about the SCION Internet Architecture. We can dive deeper into points that haven't been addressed in more detail in the talk.
The SCION Internet architecture is not intended as yet another overlay network but actually aims to supersede BGP as the Internet's inter-domain routing protocol, addressing some of BGP's biggest
problems. The goal is to empower Internet users, giving them more information and control about the paths their packets take through the network. With the right kind of configuration, the SCION-enabled
networking stack of your device could automatically steer your outgoing traffic to, for example,
- boycott networks that are known to have unneccessarily high carbon
footprints (e.g., that buy power from coal plants),
- prefer networks that operate in areas where there is a (temporary)
surplus of electricity from renewables,
- avoid traversing networks that fall under certain dubious jurisdictions.
In this workshop we can discuss different aspects of the SCION Internet Architecture and go into a bit more detail about the various implications.
Possible topics include
- SCION addressing scheme and network structure
- (Dis)incentives to deployment
- Political implications for legislation / law enforcement
- Further reasoning about carbon footprint and green routing
- Different opportunities for user-based path-selection
- How to play around with the technology

Humanitären Prinzipien fungieren in der internationalen Not- und Katastrophenhilfe als Leitplanke. Sie sollen die Arbeit von NGOs (non-governmental organizations) unterstützen, und gleichzeitig Hilfesuchende schützen. Doch was bedeutet es eigentlich, sich an Prinzipien wie das der Neutralität zu halten? Etwa Schweigen, wenn offensichtlich Menschenrechte verletzt werden? Oder können humanitäre Prinzipien dabei helfen, eine kritische Haltung einzunehmen? Und wie schwer ist eigentlich die ...

## What Play a round of our FOSS funding programme with us and test our new focus "sufficiency". Since 2020, we support open source public-interest-tech projects in Switzerland with [our Prototype Fund](https://prototypefund.opendata.ch/). ## Why Global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, sufficiency and systemic innovation must also play a central role in the context of digitalisation. From 2023/24 onwards, we will therefore fund two projects per year in the field of "sufficiency" to ...

We can replace the operating system of an Android phone when we have the necessary hardware drivers. Using NixOS as the operating system allows us to reliably recompile most of the modern software that we rely on for the mobile operating system to get the benefits of using real applications instead of just the limited capabilities of mobile apps. For example, programs like databases, webservices, CAD, compilers, image processing can run natively on the phone when you get rid of the Android ...
