How Bad Terraform Reaches Prod: Building Azure Guardrails That Actually Work - @Maple
Terraform makes it easy to ship cloud changes fast, including the risky ones. This talk is a hands-on walkthrough of a small Azure lab where I intentionally introduce common "oops" changes (public exposure, missing tags, unsafe configs) and show how they slip through a typical IaC workflow unless you build real guardrails.

"Do not obey in advance" - Cybersecurity in the Fight Against Techno-Authoritarianism - @Mendas
Cybersecurity protects free speech and human rights. It plays an important role in resisting authoritarian regimes and protecting democratic freedoms. This talk discusses how encryption, anonymity tools, and similar technologies can help activists, journalists, and citizens evade state surveillance and censorship. Discussion highlights how digital resistance strategies can be used to counter oppression.
