After a few years of parental #ccc abstinence we'd like to go to the Congress again. Does anyone of you know what to do to get tickets these days? Do kids also need a ticket? In the worst case we'll need 5 tickets (2 adults 3 kids). Will that become a problem?

A family member wants to unlock a SIM-locked Nokia, fairly recent candybar phone. Since the Googles give me what looks like an impressive list of scam span:
Any recommendations from actual recent experience?
Hat zufällig jemand einen Huawei E3372 LTE Stick (Amzon Link am Ende) mit einer Fritz!Box am Laufen? Ich finde da irgendwie nur Widersprüche.
Gern auch andere 4G Sticks vorschlagen. Ich möchte Internet und Telefon (VOIP) über den Stick haben, wenn das Festnetz ausfällt. Gern auch teilen. Danke 😊

The first remote controlled toy I owned was a T62 tank with a pretty short cable remote during the 80s. Army toys weren't unusual back in the days and I remember playing with my friends and their tanks in the Kindergarten during "Toy Day", where you could bring your favourite toy from home 😎 Did you have a similar day and what was one of your favourite toys in the Kindergarten?

A request, please boost.
Anyone who does podcasts in the IT/infosec/hacking world... I would like to be a guest sometime if you'd have me...
I need to up BlackFire's visibility, and as such, talking is a great way to do that.
So, if you are ever looking for a guest/stand in co-host/ whatever... I am available.
