This is proven by data in [ANCIENT HISTORY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg_47J6sy3A), in [MODERN HISTORY](https://www.kiltrohealth.com/blog/blue-zones-social-connection-the-secret-to-longevity-and-well-being) and also scientifically proven by [HARVARD ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KkKuTCFvzI)in an 87 year old study.

The **"Connection Space"** is exactly the opposite of that; its a **fun** social environment outside family and work, a cultural exchange, where we **unite** and hangout with **new and old friends** as **one community**. . Thats it. . No to phones, laptops, zoom-calls, books No to a specific reason to get together (eg. only for specific hobbies, genders, age groups, languages etc) No to just talking to your friends Not a dating, not a party, not an expat-only meetup NO to division (political racial gender etc) . Yes to simple and real in-person connection with new and old friends YES TO FUN! We got many optional activities for you to try out Yes to feeling like home & come as you are Yes to unity, love and respect for one another Yes to eating, drinking and music Yes to everyone-is-welcome & always-free events YES to UNITY! Getting along with each other in spite of different opinions . Our events are **inspired** by the Greek village culture of "[Καφενείο](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafenio)" (village coffeeshops) with photos [HERE](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=569660528&sxsrf=AM9HkKlXnclaLfgcockKtdr9qHdmD5jaGw:1696060562834&q=greek+%CE%BA%CE%B1%CF%86%CE%B5%CE%BD%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%BF&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi52fX67dGBAxXnlf0HHZNiBHUQ0pQJegQICRAB&biw=1460&bih=913&dpr=2). When myself Christos was a kid, my granddad took me to these "[Καφενείο](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafenio)". Every neighbourhood had one, and people met, without an exaggeration, on a daily-basis. It was the community center of the village. People met new and old friends, played games, socialised, ate snacks, drank coffee and ouzo. It was a very friendly, welcoming and homey environment. Unfortunately this concept is rapidly dying in Greece. As a kid I had extremely good memories of these coffeeshops, and for this reason I am passionate to revive and recreate this environment and also add a modern twist. Hope you enjoy it! . * **WHAT is NOT Connection Space? NOT** a drinks or party event (responsible drinking only, no shots, no free drinks). **NOT** a dating event. **NOT** foreigners-only, but everyone is welcome * **What KIND of event is this?** Its a mix of **social** and **cultural event** that build **community**. We have many people from so many different cultures socialising, we promote culture with events with Art exhibitions and Live Music and we also revive the social culture of the Greek traditional village coffeeshop (Καφενείο - read more above). * **WHO?** Wir wollen gerne mehr **Schweizer/innen** dabei haben! Alle sind willkommen und die meisten können Deutsch sprechen. Not an expat event. **Everyone welcome**! * **Mindful Connection Games:** from [The School of Life](https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/?_product_type=games-card-sets) available: Confessions Game, The Friendship Game, Connection Game, The Loser Game, Games for grown-ups and three sets of "100 questions" (Conversation Toolkit & Careers & Relationships) * **Fun Social Games:** bring your own **board/card games** or choose from: Cards against humanity, Exploding Kittens, Codenames, Debatable, Sotally Tober, Taboo, Mafia, Uno, Monopoly and more. . Looking forward to **fun quality Connections**! 🙂

It's time for a new NixOS release, **26.05 Yarara**! 🎉 For a month before release, NixOS is in ZERO Hydra Failures stage. During this time, the community tries to fix all of the Hydra build failures in *Nixpkgs*. You can read more about the process [here](https://github.com/NixOS/release-wiki/blob/master/src/Zero-Hydra-Failures.md). The 26.05 release schedule will become available soon. **Who is this event for?** Anyone who's interested in Nix! Among the attendees you'll find core Nix contributors, full-on Nix beginners, and everything in between. This event is as much about the upcoming release as it is about engaging with the *local Nix and functional programming community*. It's a great opportunity to get your feet wet while helping us stabilise the next release. [Check out our user group website](https://zurich.nix.ug) for more information about the venue and our agenda! **Do I need to bring anything?** A *laptop* would be useful. Food, drinks, coffee, tea, swag, desks, and friendly mentors are all provided. Bring as many *friends* as you can! 🙂 Make sure they **RSVP**, so we know how much food and swag to get. **Sounds great! Are there other such events?** We organise ZHF every 6 months and we organise smaller Nix meetups irregularly. NixCon 2025 also took place here in Rapperswil! Stay on top of these things by joining the Nix Zürich group or by visiting [our website](https://zurich.nix.ug/) from time to time. **Hackathon** The main objective of the hackathon is to approach Zero Hydra Failures for the upcoming NixOS release by fixing bugs and build errors in Nixpkgs and NixOS. A hackathon is also a great opportunity to address issues that are otherwise hard to fix or get going with. Therefore everyone can pitch projects they want to work on at the venue, and ask for assistance or schedule time to discuss their ideas or code.

EXPERIENCE PHILOSOPHICAL SYNCRETISM, INNER ALCHEMY, AND GAME SPIRIT. Try a live (private) session of **Mäng (offline in Zürich or online worldwide)**, a powerful self-exploration game that helps uncover hidden mental scripts and rewire the way you think, feel and act. It is a tool for a really **profound change** that follows the four stages of inner alchemy. A modernized version of an ancient contemplative practice, reimagined as a transformational tool based on psychological insight, symbolic logic, and inner strategy, it is not therapy or coaching in the traditional sense. Instead, it’s an immersive deep-dive into the unconscious mind through metaphor and archetype with a game spirit. 💡 **How it works:** Mäng is built on four stages of real, lasting change: 1. **Discovery** – Identify limiting beliefs and internal programs 2. **Uninstallation** – Let go of outdated patterns 3. **Design** – Create new mental strategies 4. **Integration** – Embed them into your deeper awareness You’ll be guided through this process by the **Master of Mäng**, who offers structure, questions, and insight, while you remain the one making all decisions and discoveries. 🌿 **Who is this for?** For everyone (regardless of beliefs, age, gender, etc.), but more than anyone - for those who didn't find answers or sufficient depth in pop coaching and psychology. 🕒 **Important:** This is a deep game. A full session lasts **4 hours**. Time slots are defined individually. Contact me directly to get an appointment. Price for newbies: 250 CHF

**Unique this time: Bingo Ice Breakers!** We start the night with ice breaking games to get to know eachother by finding someone who match the criteria of the Bingo Card.

The weather on Ascention Day is forecast to be very rainy. So we move this to Sunday. This is a fairly flat hike along the Limmat from Neuenhof towards Zürich. Towards the end, we stop-over (or finish) at a place where they operate live steam outdoor model trains on 5 inch and 7 inch tracks. This weekend is when they have their annual open days.

What does a trojan look like when it has over 900k+ combined installs and a Forbes write-up? Exactly like a legitimate Chrome extension. This session presents a technical dissection of two Chrome extensions, each with over one million active installations — that functioned as trojans in production environments, evading detection while operating through entirely legitimate browser APIs. These were not obscure tools. They were widely trusted, actively recommended, and covered by mainstream press before their malicious behavior was fully understood. We will walk through the actual source code of both extensions, showing precisely how the malicious functionality was constructed, concealed, and executed at scale. This analysis anchors a broader examination of how modern compromises actually succeed. Drawing on aggregated real-world incident data, we identify the technique categories currently delivering the highest adversary return, and why they keep working. Spoiler: it's rarely a zero-day. It's trust. The Chrome extension deep-dive will cover: * Line-by-line source analysis of how malicious functionality was embedded within working, useful software * Which browser permission scopes were abused, and why a million users — and their IT teams — didn't see it coming * The behavioral and structural indicators that distinguish a trojan extension from a legitimate one, and how to operationalize detection around them This session closes with a practical defensive prioritization framework built around observed attacker behavior: which mitigations are measurably reducing risk in production environments, which are consuming budget without impact, and a scoring methodology your team and leadership can apply immediately. **Source material:** Primary analysis of extension source code, corroborated by reporting from Forbes and other established outlets. **What this is not:** A vendor pitch, a speculative threat narrative, or a surface-level breach retrospective. **Who should attend:** Security architects, AppSec and cloud security practitioners, blue team leads, threat hunters, browser security practitioners, and security leaders responsible for prioritizing risk and investment decisions.

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
