2023-07-07 to 2023-07-09 - Hack4Glarus 2023 Summer (2023.1), Hacking Villa Diesbach, Glarus, Switzerland

real-life event
Website: https://hack4glarus.ch/
Participants: Mihai, Stefan, Juri
This is a Hackathon, not a “booth and talk” event
Mihai, Juri, and Stefan will be working on improving X2Go's IPv6 connectivity
- Important: Check Stefan's old presentation from Hack4Glarus Winter 2019, it contains a list of bugs!
- Direct connections (IPv6 Client and IPv6 Server) IIRC, direct connections didn't work, at least not with link-local addresses? But they would work if you used them as a proxy and then connected to 127.0.0.1/::1, something like that. Same bug for Tor addresses, I think?
  - Update: Direct connections with link-local addresses do work with the latest client, at least if the machines have both IPv4 and IPv6 configured.
- Proxied connections (IPv6 Client, IPv6 SSH/Squid Proxy, IPv6 Server)
- Thin Client Edition - showed some issues last time regarding DHCP/Default Routes etc.
- Test if using link-local addresses works (the “%” might cause some hiccups)
- If time permits:
  - Mixed environment (IPv4 vs. IPv6, dual stack and/or with only one machine speaking both)
  - Looking at possibly related issues when using X2GoClient via Tor (works via proxy, but not direct)

Past Events

2023-07-01 Tuebix, Eberhard Karls University, Tübingen, Germany

real-life event
No official booth - booths were not part of the CfP. But we had a booth of sorts outside - on public property, running from a mobile battery/inverter pack and a Raspberry Pi 3 with a USB LTE modem as improvised WiFi hotspot - see below for pictures.
- Booth staff: Stefan, Mihai
- Additional hardware support provided by: Juri
Talk (in German): Stefan presented the new X2Go release and the new features
- talk details, taken from schedule page
- You can find the “dress rehearsal” (no fancy edits, no proper background, no X2Go-themed shirt) recording here, and the slides in PDF format here.
