To Name is to Own - Autonomous Name Spaces, Verifiable Identities, Assets and Services at the Edge

Bits&Bäume Workshops
With a lightweight method of using the DNS trust root, decentralised communities can establish and self-manage secure hierarchies of trust for identities, assets and distributed services. This can be deployed outside the data centre monopoly and into the decentralised and local infrastructures at the network edge for complete autonomy with minimal resources and management. Why use blockchains with eternal history and ever increasing storage and resource requirements, when you can leverage and liberate the most highly distributed network service in existence?
This workshop offers participants the hands on opportunity to discover potential uses of dynamic DNS updates, authorised and signed utilising DNSSEC as a trust root & SIG(0) keypairs for update authentication. - Learn how to configure and deploy an authoritative dynamic DNS service with DNSSEC enabled. - Discover how to publish cryptographic SIG(0) public keys to delegate and update resource records. - Configure secure wide area DNS service discovery to allow any device to securely publish services browsable over the global internet though avahi or dns-sd (DNS Wide Area Service Discovery). - Securely delegate DNS subdomains to servers, even on a battery powered Raspberry Pi.

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 ...
