2025/10/16

In many parts of the world, especially across Africa, software cannot assume a stable internet connection. From rural communities to field agents working in transit or enforcement, the reality is simple: offline is the default, and sync is a luxury. In this talk, we’ll explore how to build offline-first applications using Python — apps that work gracefully when the network doesn’t. Drawing from real-world civic and infrastructure projects scenarios in Nigeria, I’ll walk through techniques to queue,

2025/10/16

Why should you, as a Python developer, learn Rust? In this talk, we will explore Rust's compelling answers to this question. Rust offers guaranteed type safety and memory safety without a garbage collector, "fearless concurrency", and incredible performance. We will look into some of Rust's most distinctive features from a Python perspective, including its strict compiler, the ownership and borrowing system, null safety via `Option`, and explicit mutability. We will discover how Rust eliminates

Bytecode and .pyc files (sps25)

Chaos Computer Club - recent events feed (low quality) ·

2025/10/16

Bytecode, the internal language of instructions used by the interpreter is something that perhaps most Python developers have heard about, but few have dug into. This talk will try to explain the idea behind bytecode and how it works. We will see how to extract bytecode from functions - with `dis` module, and from `.pyc` files (and what is the idea of `__pycache__` directories). Then, the other way around: we’ll check the possibility of building new functions with raw bytes in runtime.about this

2025/10/16

Twenty seconds is a long time when someone can’t breathe. At ESA´s LUNA Analog Facility we turned that reality into a design constraint: a moonwalk emergency with voice cut by design, Matrix/Element carrying clinical guidance across a built-in one-way delay. We tested two styles of instant messaging, open free-text versus a tiny, structured grammar, to coordinate assessment, treatment, and evacuation over a delay-tolerant (store-and-forward) network. The first signals are clear: structure lowers

2025/10/16

MLS and Matrix don't mix well. But why is that and what can we do about it? Since I got to touch that area a bit, I'll try to give some answers, but don't expect solutions. We will be looking how MLS and Matrix work internally, how a tree is a DAG but a DAG not a tree and maybe we will have some glorious idea or get frustrated. No promises!
