Which Internet do you want?

#RIPE84

NDN, Scion, RINA or a quantum Internet? Futurology at #RIPE84.

Good question.

(currently, most needed are optical fiber splicers)

#RIPE84

Why does the ukrainian Internet mostly continue to work? First, people ("dedication, courage, perseverance").

Second, the decentralisation: little market concentration (one of the smallest HHI in the world https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herfindahl%E2%80%93Hirschman_index ), many links.

#RIPE84

55 % of the ISP serve each less than 1 % of the market!

Small decrease in the number of connected RIPE Atlas probes in Ukraine, though.

And of course it is much worse in Mariupol. "At a certain point, the Internet breaks."

#RIPE84

Emile Aben on stage, about Internet in Ukraine. It was a surprise for everyone, but it still works.

#RIPE84

"You miss Black, for nordic social distancing, 5m minimum"

Code of conduct, color stickers, etc.

The CTO of DE-CIX is not on the slow Web side "latency is the new currency".

#RIPE84

"The world was relying on you. You kept the Internet running".

She calls for diversity: be nice to other people even if they have mask and not you, or the opposite.

Mirjam Kühne starts the #RIPE84 meeting, the first physical one she does as a RIPE chair.
388 persons already on-site (685 registered). 62 countries. (How many Russians?)

The guy next to me at #RIPE84 uses Emacs as an IRC client and his window manager has Windows 3.11 look-and-feel.

Oui, entre autres.

Questionable comparison.

Leaving #RIPE84 for one hour, to talk about domain names on blockchain at a Middle East online ICANN meeting https://mednsf.org/session-details/panel-decentralized-domain-names-what-are-they-and-how-they-work
