What happens when photography becomes a tool for social change rather than just documentation? In this episode, Michael Dooney speaks with acclaimed British photographer and artist Mark Neville about his journey from art school to the front-lines of conflict, and how he uses collaborative photography projects to empower communities, challenge social norms, and effect real-world impact. Neville shares stories from his time as an official war artist in Afghanistan, discusses the making of influential projects like The Port Glasgow Book Project and Stop Tanks With Books , and reflects on his ongoing work in Ukraine. Listeners will gain insights into the ethics of documentary practice, the power of art as activism, and what it means to make photography for—and with—the people it represents. Timestamps (00:00) – Introduction and welcome (01:49) – Artist and photographer living and working in the Ukraine (04:54) – The Port Glasgow Book Project: Art for the community (08:04) – Getting attention of the art world (12:00) – Turning point towards a social engaged artistic practice (14:42) – Stop Tanks with Books Project: Art as activism in Ukraine (17:56) – Russian invasion of Ukriane (20:55) – Postcode Ukraine Charity (25:06) – War Artist in Helmand, Afghanistan (27:33) – Battle Against Stigma, book project (33:34) – Invitation to start making work in Ukraine (34:54) – Diary of a Volunteer, book project (37:51) – Individual experiences of Postcard Ukraine charity members (39:48) – Support for Ukrainian people (42:06) – How can listeners learn more and get involved? Mark Neville (b. 1966, London) is a British artist and photographer renowned for his socially engaged practice at the intersection of art, documentary, and activism. His projects often involve close collaboration with communities, aiming to empower subjects and address issues such as inequality, mental health, and conflict. Notable works include The Port Glasgow Book Project , Battle Against Stigma , Fancy Pictures , and Stop Tanks With Books . Neville has exhibited internationally, worked as an official war artist in Afghanistan, and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize by The New York Times in 2012.

[Rivulet](https://github.com/rottytooth/Rivulet) eschews keywords entirely. This is not done to move *away* from natural language (as in APL's use of mathematical symbols) but instead to draw from an aspect of natural language usually ignored in prog language design: calligraphic writing. Rivulet code is written in flowing lines inspired by handwritten natural and constructed languages. Its logic is alien to most programming languages but makes perfect sense in support of its visual representation of tightly-packed tangles of lines. In this short talk, I'll introduce this new language alongside other esolangs that draw from less-considered aspects of natlangs and conlangs, embracing their ambiguity and expressive power. Here is a piece of code in the [Rivulet](https://github.com/rottytooth/Rivulet) language. It shows seven different ways to write the number zero: ``` 1 ╵ ╰──╮ ╭───╯╭──╯ 2 ╰─╮ ─┘ │╰─╮ └─ ╭─╮ 3 │╰──┐└─╴│╰───╯ │ 5 ╰─╮ ╰─╮ └─┐ ╭─╯ 7 ╶─┘ │ ╶─┘ ╰─╮ 11 ╶─┘ │ 13 ─╯╷ ``` Each zero is written as a *strand*, a tangle of which is called a *glyph*. Strands of different types each have their own reading in how they move through the glyph. The language's visual style is inspired by the satisfying compactness of mazes, Anni Albers's Meanders series, and space-filling algorithms. Its rules are more like a natural language that evolved over time than a typical programming language favoring clarity above all else. I will show how the rules for Rivulet came together and contrast the language with several other others that bring the ambiguity and expressiveness of natural language into code. This includes the polysemantic esolang [Valence](https://github.com/rottytooth/Valence) and an as-yet-unnamed alphabet that functions simultaneously as conlang and esolang.

Auf dem Hackover 24 hatten wir uns das Jahr 2023 im Kontext des globalen Klimawandels angeschaut. Der Vortrag endete mir der Aussicht, dass wir im Jahr 2024 das häufig medial beschriebene 1,5 Grad Ziel zu überschreiten dürften. Das haben wir auch erfolgreich geschafft. Der Talk stellt eine aktualisierte Version des Talks vom letztem Jahr dar. Wir fassen nochmal ein paar Punkte des globalen Klimaberichts des IPCC zusammen und ordnen dann die Messewerte des Jahres 2024 ein. Einige Teile sind daher für wiederkehrende Besuchende vielleicht vom letzten Jahr noch bekannt. Als neue Dimension (weil es Stand Juni 2025 in den Medien auftaucht) gucken wir zusätzlich auf das Grundwasser, da der Sommer für uns ja gerade erst beginnt.

In diesem Vortrag schauen wir uns an, wie der Game Boy Advance Handheld grundlegend funktioniert und wie mit gezielten Softwaretests neue Erkenntnisse gewonnen und die Kompatibilität von Emulatoren verbessert werden kann. Nintendo veröffentlichte den Game Boy Advance im Jahr 2001. Seitdem verkaufte sich der Handheld über 80 Millionen Mal und ist damit eine der meistverkauften Konsolen. Kurioserweise kam der erste Emulator für das System bereits vor dem offiziellen Release heraus und konnte bereits erste Demos ausführen. Seitdem hat sich das Verständnis der Hardware signifikant verbessert und damit auch die Detailgetreue von Emulatoren. In diesem Vortrag schauen wir uns an, wie die Hardware grundlegend aufgebaut ist und wie mithilfe gezielter Softwaretests neue Erkenntnisse gewonnen werden können. Dabei lege ich einen besonderen Fokus auf die 2D GPU / Pixel Processing Unit.

Ein Gespenst geht um im Feminismus – das Gespenst der Unlust, des Überdrusses, der Enttäuschung über unerfüllte Glücksversprechen.

After _certain_ events caused massive upheaval in the virtualisation landscape, many companies using that technology have found themselves dropped into the deep end, with skyrocketing infrastructure costs and furious upper management. Promising a stark opposite to high costs, limited flexibility, and vendor lock-in, Harvester takes the stage. Harvester is an open source hyperconverged infrastructure solution built by SUSE, and provides a complete package for everything compute, networking, and storage. This presentation will take a peek under the hood of Harvester and how it leverages existing open source solutions to provide a scalable and resilient virtualisation platform - in particular Longhorn, which is the distributed block storage engine powering storage in Harvester and Kubernetes clusters around the world. Attendees will leave this talk motivated to replace their existing production infrastructure with Harvester, powered by the flexibility and high availability of Longhorn. So, whether you are looking at bringing the cloud back to your server room, or reducing costs with existing infrastructure (while ensuring prod isn't at risk), then this talk will get you started!

In this session, I will show you how to use Agama, the new next-generation installer, to perform effortless advanced unattended installations on openSUSE Linux. Whether you are installing just a few desktops or a fleet of servers, Agama makes the process fast, smooth, and hassle-free. This modern installer is poised to transform not only openSUSE installations but also deployments across other Linux distributions. While older tools like AutoYAST work well, they are not always easy or user-friendly for unattended advanced Linux installations. Agama solves this with a simple yet modern web interface that makes unattended installations easy and possible for everyone. I will demonstrate how to use Agama’s latest features, including how to set up and initiate remote connections using IP addressing or Multicast DNS for a fully unattended OpenSUSE installation. You will also learn about Agama’s main key features such as its simple JSON-based configuration language to create auto installation profiles, an HTTP API for integrating with third-party application tools, and how to import your existing AutoYAST profiles. Join this session to see how Agama can save you a lot of time and effort by making your OpenSUSE Linux deployments easier and more powerful than ever before.

„Haare ab, Haare hoch, steil, ein Gebirge aus Haar, Haare wie Messer, die aus dem Kopf stechen.“ Eine jugendliche Punkerin spricht am Ende der DDR über ihr Leben und ihre Erfahrungen. Ihr älteres erwachsenes Ich kommentiert und reflektiert aus der Zukunft. Es geht um Kunst und Liebe, um Anarchie, um das Rumhängen mit Freunden, um das Baden in der Kiesgrube und darum, dass sie nicht Frau sein will, sondern Punk, aber immer wieder Frau sein muss. Durch die Ich-Figur gehen diverse politische Diskurse hindurch und kommen spielerisch zum Ausdruck. Noisiger Live-Sound unterstreicht die Wortspiele. Language: DE Translation: YES Recording: YES “Hair off, hair up, steep, a mountain of hair, hair like knives sticking out of the head. "A young punk talks about her life and experiences at the end of the GDR. Her older adult self recalls the past from the future. It's about art and love, anarchy, hanging out with friends, swimming in the gravel pit. It’s not wanting to be a woman but a punk, and always being put back into a woman-shaped box. Various political discourses are coursing through the first-person narrator in a playful way. Noisy live sound underscores the juicy words.

With the integration of systemd-boot or grub2-bls bootloaders in the distribution, both (partially) following the boot loader specification (BLS), we have the chance to use the systemd tools to set a full disk encryption installation using TPM2 and FIDO2 keys. The sdbootutil is managing both aspects, the BLS integration and the FDE configuration. In this talk we will present how this model works in openSUSE and how can be used and troubleshooted.

How does openSUSE look from the outside? In this talk, two SUSE expats share how their Geeko hearts started to ache when they were no longer part of the inner circle. Where are openSUSE's strengths, and how are they shining? Where does it desperately need to improve to maintain relevance? There is so much excellence across so many disciplines to be presented to communities outside SUSE's roof. Is openSUSE targeted being an in-house project, or is it ready to engage more broadly with the open source world? Expect some war stories from the days after, and some highly subjective advice. We will leave you and us with some answers and many open questions. Licensed to the public under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ about this event: https://c3voc.de…
