Great talk. These presentations of in-depth research about random obscure topics is what I really, really enjoy at CCC events.

Here are a few other talks I haven't watched yet, but certainly will because of the title alone:

* "Rage Against The Machine Learning"

* "Very Pwnable Network (VPN)"

* "RUN MSC"

* "Fuzzing the phone in the iPhone (aka D-d-d-di-di-d-d-di-d-di-d-di-d-dimm!)"

* "Fuzzers like LEGO"

* "I could not resist aka (Resists for Electron Beam Lithography )"

Here are a couple I might watch because of the people involved:

* "Conversation with Bruce Schneier"

* "Cory Doctorow: What the cyberoptimists got wrong - and what to do about it"


By the way, many of the talks in German should have a volunteer provided live translation to English (and vice versa, but for this event the c3lingo translation team focused their limited capacity on the deu -> eng direction), if you are watching on https://media.ccc.de/c/rc3 you can select the translated audio tracks via the cogwheel icon in the lower right corner of the video player.


* "The Yes Men from Tricksters in an age of dirty tricks" (the actual guy talks about the yes men) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEJ9VYmFbKo

Here is a list of all recorded talks of the RC3 (online conference, kinda replacing the 37c3): https://media.ccc.de/c/rc3


I would also highly recommend "Traue keinem Scan, den du nicht selbst gefälscht hast" [0] but I just noticed that there are no english subtitles available.

There's an English language froscon 2015 talk:

Things I always wanted to know:

> If you eat beans and fart a lot, do you ever get rid of the smell?


"In addition to exhaled CO2, people also emit small amounts of other gases. [...] Activated charcoal filters are the primary method for removing these chemicals from the air."

From an article about managing air on the ISS: https://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2000/a...


that is good question, why down vote it ?


I didn't downvote, but maybe because it is an insipid and disgusting question?

FWIIW in high altitude aviation where digestive gas could cause debilitating pain or even life threatening injury, the solution is to eat food that doesn't make you fart; usually steak and eggs. I'm sure the astronaut nutritionist types have this issue under control. People forget how many zillions of dollars went into the early space program to figure stuff like this out.


Even though it is a disgusting issue, it is a real issue, pretty much on topic.

And despite zillions of dollars wenting into it, if it would be just the smell, I believe it is possible someone just would have said, deal with it, there are bigger concerns in space, like keeping people alive.

(but charcoal filters work, like someone else pointed out)

And since you cannot really shower in space, I doubt the smell is the nicest up there.


> it is an insipid and disgusting question

A little gross, yes, but definitely not insipid. And yes, we assume that there's some solution (or that it's not a problem) somehow, but it's reasonable to be curious what the solution is.


This was one of this years best talks. I was a bit disappointed by the others mostly. Lots of streaming hickups and bad content.

I did like the Flutter UI talk, the baseband hacking talk by the girl, the horrible state of the Gesundheits IT, the Certified Voting SW (OK-Vote) in Bavaria (how stupid can they be?), and esp. the old UI demo "What have we lost"


Why can't you just vent the solids, liquids and gas?
