I'm depressed about rC3. I totally get that we can't meet up in person and hack all day but this year I've been so unexcited about rC3 that I didn't even bother to get a (free) ticket.
Of course, I value everybody's enthusiasm towards continuing a tradition. I'm happy the scene continues to do their best and I'm grateful to be able to listening in the talks.
But it still feels off. The congress and other chaos events are so much more than what the live streams portait. It's exhibition halls full of nerds. Waves of applauses and cheering of everyone's excitement. Pixelflut, tschunk, blinking LEDs and having an awesome time with my haxor friends for 3 days a year.
Fingers crossed that we can meet in person next year!
