Hi #39c3 attendees!

Can someone point me in the direction of the person who made the artwork now hanging above my workspace?

Thanks!

Edit: I actually don’t need to _know_ who made it, just wanted to let them know it is being appreciated and to say thank you for the cute art! So if you know them and can pass on the message, it’s just that.

absolutely loved this quote in @pluralistic's #39c3 talk

"and goddamnit i am hopeful. not optimistic, fuck optimism. optimism is the idea that things will get better no matter what we do, and i know what we do matters. hope is the belief that we can improve things, even in small ways"

This weekend, the #BalticStates #Estonia, #Latvia, and #Lithuania will disconnect from the #Brell power grid that has connected them to #Russia and #Belarus for the last 80 years. The will connect to the synchronous grid of Continental #Europe - the largest synchronous power grid in the world. This has been planned since 2018 and was affirmed by a decision of the #EU in 2023.

During the procedure,all power lines to the Russian grid will be severed. The Baltic States will become a power island for about one day. During this time, their regional grid will be synchronized to the Eurpean grid before it can be connected to it through a new power line between #Lithuania and #Poland.

The operation is not without risk. In addition to technical challenges, #sabotage from #Russia is expected. The Baltic States have set up their military to protect their critical power infrastructure over the weekend.

As a result of the process, #Kaliningrad will also be cut off from the Russian grid and become a power island for the foreseeable future.
