A Deep Dive into WAP, SMS, monophonic ringtones and 1-bit graphics.
A key part of early 2000s advertisements were hyperactive frogs and annoying crocodiles trying to lure people into subscribing to overpriced ringtones and silly graphics for their mobile phones.
Apart from shady business practices -- how exactly do you send pictures and ringtones to vintage GSM mobile phones (most of which don't even support TCP/IP)?
In our quest to learn more, we stumbled across WAP-Push, User Data Headers, Concatenated SMS, SMPP, User Agent Profiles and many more forgotten technologies.
To put all this knowledge to good use, we built Blåmba -- a Chaos ringtone provider, clearly inspired by the (now long defunct) historic ones.
Then at Chaos Communication Camp 2023 with the C3GSM network, we had the first public instalment of Blåmba.
The Chaos community uploaded lovely artwork and new ringtones, sent patches for the software, and had a fun time reviving their old Nokia phones.
This talk will tell the story behind Blåmba, explain how ringtones (and more) made their way onto your phone, what a WAP gateway did, and what other cool tricks mobile phones could do (if you had the money to pay for GPRS traffic 20 years ago).

avis : Alors une MTF, qui fait un talk au CCC, afin de presenter un service (gratuit) pour les telephones vintages tout en expliquant en entree que cetait un business tenu par des crocodiles, ca donne juste pas envie de passer a cote.
La creatrice < La puissance de la #MtF, c'est mon avis rationel perso non biaise.
Today we released our archive of data.gov on Source Cooperative. The 16TB collection includes over 311,000 datasets harvested during 2024 and 2025, a complete archive of federal public datasets linked by data.gov. It will be updated daily as new datasets are added to data.gov.
This is the first release in our new data vault project to preserve and authenticate vital public datasets for academic research, policymaking, and public use.
We’ve built this project on our long-standing commitment to preserving government records and making public information available to everyone. Libraries play an essential role in safeguarding the integrity of digital information. By preserving detailed metadata and establishing digital signatures for authenticity and provenance, we make it easier for researchers and the public to cite and access the information they need over time.
In addition to the data collection, we are releasing open source software and documentation for replicating our work and creating similar repositories. With these tools, we aim not only to preserve knowledge ourselves but also to empower others to save and access the data that matters to them.
For suggestions and collaboration on future releases, please contact us at publicdata@law.harvard.edu.
This project builds on our work with the Perma.cc web archiving tool used by courts, law journals, and law firms; the Caselaw Access Project, sharing all precedential cases of the United States; and our research on Century Scale Storage. This work is made possible with support from the Filecoin Foundation for the Decentralized Web and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.

Israel vu par les USA, militairement
One of, if not the most, powerful international issue lobby is that of the pro-Israel crowd. Well-financed and politically powerful, the pro-Israel lobby is a major force on American foreign affairs that looks to continue America’s military and fiscal support of the Jewish nation-state. The lobby has had recent policy success with the Trump administration moving the U.S. embassy in Israel from the internationally-recognized capital of Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a move long advocated by some in the pro-Israel lobby. Notably however, JStreet, one of the larger pro-Israel groups opposed the move. The administration is very friendly with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and has taken a hard line on Israel peace talks, barely talking to the Palestinians and ending all foreign aid to the West Bank and Gaza.
Even with the policy victories coming under a Republican president, the lobby still remained staunch Democratic contributors, giving more than $14.8 million in the 2018 midterms to mostly Democrats. This marked their third-biggest cycle ever and their biggest non-presidential cycle.
