But how can the home 3D printing en thusiast tackle hacking small stuff for cellular biology\, microfluidics\, the little electromechanical devices that abound in our smartphones\, or even chip-scale electronics themselves? While these tasks are typically ha ndled with silicon fabrication techniques\, RepRapMicron aims to do them a t low cost using techniques and hardware familiar to the 3D printing commu nity: Arduinos\, steppers\, and bits of bent wire. This may require abando ning some manufacturing dogma\, like our reliance on silicon\, and in turn open up new fields for citizen science in areas like biohacking and at-ho me chip fabrication.\n\nThis presentation covers how small a thing you can make using a 3D printer\, a bunch of nuts and bolts\, and a jar of salty water. We'll discuss the techniques and difficulties involved in creating mobile machinery capable of repeatable positioning within a micrometre\, t he problems with print heads\, how to use it as a very small object scanne r\, and the frustration of levelling the darn thing. There may be a well-d eserved rant on USB microscopes.\n\nThen there's the thorny problem of how you pick up and manipulate objects smaller than the dot at the end of thi s sentence? Initial RepRapMicron prototypes are already achieving 0.1mm ob jects with 15 micrometre resolution. So the device has to manipulate the o bjects it makes\, raising an interesting possibility: If you can print and operate a tiny little 3D printer that can in turn make smaller objects\, how small can you really go?

Systemd was a significant evolutionary step\, and it pav ed the way for a number of improvements in Linux distributions generally\, but it was not without controversy and has been widely criticised (as wel l as praised). In this talk I will present Dinit\, an alternative service manager that has been in development since about the same time\, and has r ecently seen some uptake in some niches that systemd has been unsuited to fill\; it is now the init system for Chimera Linux\, and is an init option for Artix Linux. I will discuss what prompted its development\, what make s it unique (both technically and philosophically) compared to systemd and other alternative service manager / init systems\, my experiences in main taining a long-running open-source project\, and future plans.

Most of us are now familiar with tools like ChatGPT \, Midjourney\, Sora\, and others. At the heart of generative AI is a mach ine learning architecture called the "transformer"\, which is fed by huge datasets - text\, images and videos. Those datasets are "tokenised" - cut up into chunks which the transformer can ingest. Those actors who can obta in the most tokens can generally train the best models (for various values of "best"). \n\nWe are now witnessing a battle between the creators of ge nerative AI models - who seek to obtain as much data as possible for token isation - while their targets try to stop them. The social ramifications of this resource conflict are widespread\, resulting in "alateral damage" - a term I am coining to point to the unforeseen\, unintended\, distal con sequences of a seemingly innocuous technology. \n\nThese are the Token War s. \n\nAnd they're the reason not *everything* should be open. \n\n---\n\n ## TOKENS\, TECHNICALLY: A technical grounding on transformers\, tokens an d how they are used to build generative AI \n\nIn this part of the present ation\, Kathy will provide a technical grounding on generative AI\, how th e transformer architecture works\, and in particular the attention mechani sm. She will briefly cover the concept of tokenisation for data input into transformer models\, and explain how transformer models are "next token p redictors". \n\n## TOKENOMICS: Why are tokens so valuable? \n\nMoving from a technology to its social impact\, Kathy turns attention (hah! pun!) to the economics of Tokens\, drawing on Elinor Ostrom's work on Governing the Commons. She shows how tokens are a resource that is rivalrous\, pointing to the Token Crisis and Model Collapse to lay out her argument. She explo res the actors in the Token Wars\, explaining their intentions\, actions - and the unintended consequences - alateral damage - they are having. \n\ n## TOKEN TACTICS: Guarding your token treasure - and why not everything s hould be open. \n\nIn the final part of the presentation\, Kathy will exam ine tokens - and data - as a form of capital - outlining ways we may be ab le to protect our tokens as treasure. Further\, she will show how some fo rms of data - rare\, precious and therefore highly valuable for tokenisati on - should be strongly protected for cultural\, societal and historical r easons - and questions who gets to hoard token treasure. \n\nTo conclude t he presentation\, Kathy will lay out some possible Token Futures - what mi ght we expect to see in this space over the next 12-18 months?

So many more of us are at risk.\n\nI want to share my lessons learned\, "Best practices after a layoff." I've split this talk into the following sectio ns:\n\n• Negotiate your layoff terms\n• Apply for unemployment\n• Re gain focus (avoid anger)\n• Don't just ask for help (Tell potential futu re employers what you can do for them)\n• Find hiring managers in your n etwork\n• Customize your application (and cover letter\, and thank you n ote\, etc.)\n• Share your schedule\n• Extra work (demonstrate what you can do for your target company)\n• Prepare for your interview (spoiler: prepare a "closing statement")\n• Follow up\n• The offer\n\nFor the r ecord\, I'm happy where I'm working now\, and I hope to stay there for man y years into the future.

Haystack is a key-value store with interlin king\, so effectively all related fields are indexed as well as timestampe d. However\, it is also write-once and immutable. When data is written to disk\, it are also encrypted and compressed.\nAll of this makes it ideal f or storing log data\; which\, not by coincidence\, is exactly what Haystac k was designed for!\n\nIn this talk\, we will take a fairly detailed look at how Haystack works (concept more than code)\, as it uses a novel approa ch and it is important to understand how it is different from other log st ores to consider when to use it\, and use it efficiently. From a functiona l perspective\, some aspects look a bit like a relational table\, but writ e-once and all fields are indexed. Thus it is more structured than a basic key/value store or a data lake\, but without the overhead a relational da tabase brings. In short\, it's worth having a look at\, and perhaps you'll like it!\n\nSince this type of codebase is heavily into "data juggling"\, and it was a completely new project anyway\, it was felt that using a mem ory-safe language was the most appropriate. The initial implementation of Haystack was done in Go\, and it was discovered that while it was pretty f ast\, it's not as memory-efficient as we would have hoped. There is an int ent to do a rewrite (with lessons learnt from the initial implementation) in Rust.\n\nThe broader and long term scope of OpenActa is to provide a fu lly open source codebase for central log collection\, storage\, search and analysis. Haystack is merely a first step. Making the IT world more secur e cannot be achieved just through expensive corporate offerings\, as inevi tably many small companies and other organisations find themselves unable to afford those tools. Therefore we must\, and can\, do better. Others are also developing initiatives\, for instance in the field of log analysis q ueries (Sigma rules)\, and naturally we would not dream of duplicating any of that excellent work. In the best of open source toolsets\, it is often a combination of components from different groups of people that come tog ether and produces something that is much greater than the sum of its part s.

Or to ma intain the ones that we still have. The extreme result\, would be a kind o f Mortal Engines style scavenging of "Ancient Tech"\, to meet the needs of the ongoing society\, but we'd much rather a better way.\n\nTogether with the NLnet Foundation\, we are exploring exactly this concept\, to make a mobile-phone like device\, whose goal is to enable and sustain communicati ons and basic compute functionality\, even if the rest of the world goes t o pot.\n\nThis creates challenges\, and requires trade-offs: The device ha s to be secure\, to survive in the modern cyber landscape\, that is popula ted with state-level actors and other malicious parties. It also has to b e simple enough\, that an individual or small group can maintain it\, reas on about it and improve it. These two actually go together: Simplicity is required to limit the attack surface size\, to make it defendable by small groups.\n\nModularisation and sand-boxing of key components and modules l ooks like a feasible approach to this\, and also to solve the hardware sup ply chain problem\, by making it much easier to replace hard-to-source com ponents with others\, and also allows distributed manufacture and assembly \, at low risk. For example\, tricky to hand-solder components can exist m ore or less alone on a small PCB: Failures in assembling those don't requi re you to debug a whole board or throw it away. Similarly replacing those individual subsystems to respond to supply challenges\, or to swap out unt rustable parts with safer ones becomes much easier.\n\nI'll explain how I am combining these methods\, together with applying my past work in post-d isaster communications to create a device that should be cost-effective to design\, build and operate\, and that is independent of energy and commun ications networks\, and the trade-offs required to achieve this\, includin g Intentional Obsolescence and judicious use of Somebody Elses Problem fie lds.

The ATLAS experiment located at the LHC is the one of the four detectors that detects the outcome of t hese collisions and reconstructs the underlying physics. In 2012\, the ATL AS and CMS experiment discovered the Higgs Boson which completed the main predictions of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. However\, it is wel l-known that the Standard Model of Particle Physics fails to explain certa in aspects of nature and thus there have been theories and models (lumped into Beyond the Standard Model) that try to overcome the shortcomings of t he Standard Model. Dedicated searches are being carried out by experiments to find evidence for some of the predictions of Beyond the Standard Model Physics like the candidate(s) for the Dark Matter and Supersymmetry among other things. Over the years\, CERN has released over five petabytes of data for public access. In July 2024\, the ATLAS experiment released about 65 terabytes of proton-proton collision data that corresponds to over sev en billion LHC collision events. These data were collected during 2015 and 2016 as part of LHC Run 2. These data are accompanied by documentation th at illustrates its usage. Open data allows scientists and computer expert s to explore collider datasets that may be otherwise available only to sci entists affiliated with CERN. \n\nThe purpose of this talk is to give a wa lkthrough of how one may access open data and various open-software tools to explore ATLAS open data as well as to give a glimpse of physics that m ay be carried out using these tools. We further explore the possibility of using these open data sets to develop machine learning models that may be trained on these dataset - thereby exploring how open-source Machine Lear ning software plays an important role at the collider experiments.

Modern language s like Go and Rust have\nbuilt in support making it easy to start write un it tests and other external test frameworks abound.\n\nBut if you're not u sing a fancy new language\, or your implementation language isn't convenie nt for writing testsor your project uses\nmultiple langauges\, the languag e centric systems don't work.\n\nMeanwhile\, some of the external framewor ks impose a language for writing tests which might be inconvenient for you . Many of them\nimpose a style of writing tests that could be unnatural f or your language. In particular JUnit's influence often brings Java-isms to\nlanguages where they don't belong. Building arrays or matrices of sim ilar tests might require framework specific approaches syntax which\ncan b e awkward or limited.\n\nThen there's TAP\, the "Test Anything Protocol" f rom the Perl world. It lets you write test programs in any language and co llate the\nresults. However\, TAP is showing its age: the protocol struct ure implies sequential test execution\; with test's identified only by a\n number which can change if tests are added or removed. That makes makes r unning tests in parallel hard. It encourages interdependencies\nbetween t ests which makes it hard to run just one test to debug a failure.\n\nExete r[0] is a set of tiny libraries for several languages (C\, sh and Python s o far) with a new approach to TAP's goals. You write tests in\na way that 's natural for the language\, then register them with exeter. Exeter turns this into an executable which can be invoked either to\nrun a single test or to produce a manifest of tests. You can programmatically construct co mplex matrices in your language of\nchoice.\n\nExeter doesn't run a testsu ite or collate results itself. Instead you feed the exeter manifest into an external test runner instructing it\nhow to run all the defined tests. We explicitly support Avocado[1] as a test runner and there's limited sup port for Meson[2] which we hope\nto improve.\n\nThis talk discusses why I created Exeter\, what it can do\, and as a case study\, how we're using it to improve testing for the\npasst/pasta[3] project.\n\n[0] https://gitlab .com/dgibson/exeter\n[1] https://avocado-framework.github.io/\n[2] https:/ /mesonbuild.com/\n[3] https://passt.top LOCATION:City Room 2 URL:http://2025.everythingopen.au/schedule/presentation/96/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Using siril to see the invisible DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Adelaide:20250121T154500 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Adelaide:20250121T172500 DTSTAMP:20260517T113252Z UID:41@2025.everythingopen.au CATEGORIES: DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Peter Lieverdink\nYou have a camera and a tripod\, or a telescope with a camera\, and you want to produce beautiful deep sky im ages.
