-  * 2022-10-09, 14:00: **Who am I? CPUID on the PDP-8**\\ //Pontus Pihlgren (Update)//\\ Portable software must adapt to peculiarities of the target platforms. Even variations within a "compatible" family of computers may require specific code. But how does a program identify which machine is executing it? In this presentation we will dissect, line by line, a subroutine written by the late Charles Lasner (CJL) as part of the Kermit implementation for the PDP-8 family of computers. The subroutine, "MACHINE", is capable of identifying all DEC PDP-8 models. Some familiarity with programming will benefit the listener, but the presentation includes the basics of PDP-8 assembly and the level should be approachable to most.\\ Please note that this talk is given as a part of the [[https://vcfb.de/2022/index.html.en |Vintage Computing Festival Berlin 2022]] this coming weekend, **the time and place for watching the lecture stream are different than usual**.\\ Stream: https://streaming.media.ccc.de/vcfb2022/Signallabor\\ Q&A: https://bbb.cryptoparty.se/b/upd-0mo-m2u-aq8
+  * 2022-11-12, 19:00: **The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to Artificial Intelligence – BBC Basic Version**\\ //Herbert Lange (IDS Mannheim)//\\ Imagine it's the eighties and you are interested in this hype called Artificial Intelligence. You might have heard of LISP and PROLOG but all you have is a home computer running Basic. Would it be possible to do fun experiments without having access to all the compute power universities have access to? The authors Forsynth and Naylor answer this question in their book "The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to Artificial Intelligence" and provide an overview of interesting topics combined with example programs written in BBC Basic which you can type in yourself and try on your UK-built home computer. In this talk I will go through some of these examples and try to put them into a modern context.

   * 2022-09-10, 19:00: **How (not) to do public open WiFi**\\ //Jan-Daniel Kaplanski (German Red Cross)//\\ With increased refugee numbers, an unprecedented high demand for the possibility of communication with the remaining family members left home arose, rendering the previous solution insufficient. That previous solution was based on one WiFi AP and one repeater each per building, connected to a 50 Mbit/s DL/UL synchronous optical fibre network via an external VPN provider to ensure network separation with the company’s staff network. The aim of this project was to provide a new fast solution with its separate external connection, by building a separate network from the ground up. This is an ongoing endeavour, which has currently reached its test phase with three operational APs across two buildings and eight network switches across six buildings, more to follow.
