The @datacom_ia was in Madrid today! 🇪🇸
Secretary General @dot Trossen joined the -XR Impact Day to discuss immersive 5G/6G connectivity and its role across industries.

The event marks 3 years of EU-funded R&D in extended reality (XR) through the 6G-XR project, building experimental platforms across Finland 🇫🇮 and Spain 🇪🇸 to test future 6G applications like holography and digital twins.

@zeitbot wäre die Affäre nicht ein Gegenargument zum Tausch der Infrastruktur? Es zeigt mal wieder, dass dumme Nutzer eines Systems einfacher zu finden sind als in Milliarden für grossflächige, angebliche Abhörung durch 5g zu investieren

@DejahEntendu @bookstodon read #1984 in, well, 1984, as a 15 year old. My father gave it to me when I was long into computer already. #1984 is often cited when it comes to gov power but Orwell got the surveillance so wrong in other ways. We do not have hidden devices behind screens but willingly place them into our home (looking at you, Alexa), use them every day for our "free" Internet in return. Surveillance capitalism, much worse then what Orwell describes and entirely overlooked by him.

Want to know more about Routing on Service Addresses (ROSA), my recent research which I have been driving into IETF with partners like @jens among others? Read my blog at dirk.dapadot.de/routing-on-ser with a video from a recent seminar at Cambridge University on how ROSA works, why it is important to rethink how we steer service traffic in a distributed world of virtualized services, and how our prototype works (die a simple conceot demo). Happy to answer any questions and welcome partners!

@interpeer would love to see more of this localised, p2p thinking. Hang on, wasn't that part of the Internet thinking? Where has it gone? The point of introducing intermediaries is that it's often easier to collude at scale with them instead of colluding all endpoints.

Restarted my blog on anything #futureinternet #mobile or just technology rambling. Let's see how long I'll prevail in updating regularly (weekly updates planned so far). Check out at dirk.dapadot.de/multicast-musi

@jens @minimoysmagician
Yes, indeed, the ROSA draft had several video related use cases, utilising the anycast capabilities of ROSA, even for highly dynamic selections (eg. per chunk request). Working on a demo...

@juefried wie sieht es mit Weisswein aus?

@zeitbot Seit wann ist ein Umsatz- und Gewinnrückgang ein Verlust? Meta macht (leider) immer noch Gewinn, wenn auch weniger. Aber Verlust im normalen Sinnen der Profitabilitätszahlen ist das nicht!

The Google virus, in the form of its playstore and services, has again hit: its "privacy feature" of removing permissions of unused apps has just removed again permissions from 7 apps. One is the calendar, which I use daily, and two other frequently used apps. No Google app, of course, since one needs to protect one's own apps. #googlefail

@jens had fireworks already 10 minutes before. It's slowly calming down. La Multi Ani! Happy New Year und Prost Neujahr!

2022-12-31

@jens ah, got it. No problem with 2022 for me (20 year anniversary) at a personal level, which is the only thing I can really impact. Won't get hung up on not liking years for externalities.

2022-12-31

@jens I might have missed the subtlety here? 2012? Anything binary, nerdy doesn't square for me. Too late in the evening, for me or you?

2022-12-31

@jens enjoy the evening, with or without strategic eating! All the best for 2023!

2022-12-31

@jens good luck with the pacing. I recall my first Romanian new year's eve about 20 years ago, leaning heavily into the first table setting of the evening, enjoying all immensely, only to be told that's it read just the starter 🤔 Regardless, I've always enjoyed the being together, so learned the food pacing eventually.
