Back from Penguicon 2016

Back from Penguicon 2016.

Did two presentations this year. One on Tor, its working and hidden services. The other on I2P and its general operations. There was a great keynote from Bruce Schneier on how data and data products, as the business saying goes, “if you’re not paying for it, you are the product”. This is more relevant now than ever with the scooping up of much of your information by business and government agencies. You many think that the information collected has no effect on me if they keep it, but if you really think about the information you are just giving away, once it is out of your hands, you no longer have any control over what is it being used for and in some cases how it is being used against you. Something people should really think about, but unfortunately, they will not until it’s too late. Few other tech talks were fun to be at, same strangeness and interesting people watching as always. May do a few more talks next year, so keep watching for details.

If you have never been to Penguicon, then I recommend checking the next one out.
