Is ccc worth attending remotely this year? Use to be my favorite con but it is mostly german (I don't know the language) and I haven't seen anything that stands out last year or for this years' schedule. Been watching since 26c3.

You mean the congress? It's not taking place this year: https://events.ccc.de/category/37c3/#no-congress-2022-en Instead they defer to decentralized events across Europe: https://events.ccc.de/ Many of them offer livestreams.

Yeah, the decentralized streams. Would have been nice if they centrally organized something.

The collection of decentralized streams are organized centrally here: https://streaming.media.ccc.de/jev22

Is there something like the Fahrplan again? Because the linked page does not really give any info about what will be streamed

What's this hygiene stuff they're talking about? Did they get in trouble with the venues over attendees not showering or something?

Presumably masking, daily tests, disinfectant dispensers everywhere, etc.

When the organizers decided this, it wasn't yet completely obvious that Covid would be "over" by fall.

COVID measures. Germany is relatively strict, for example, N95 (FFP2) masks are still mandatory in long distance trains, and at the time where they would have had to decide whether to do or cancel the event, it was completely unclear if measures would be lifted or if e.g. such events would be banned or hit with limitations that would make them infeasible.
