gh the rotting arteries the information superhighway? To tune\ninto the re
pulsive control exerted by the 'smart' city\, by the neoliberal\nsanitatio

man senses and become the machine?\n\nNo matter where you go\, everybody's

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:Come to Petteflet on a monday evening to di
scover the freedom of hacking software and hardware and reclaim your digit
al autonomy. All skill levels welcome and no previous experience required.
Bring a funky gender and sprinkle some social awkwardness on top. This is
your walk-in hours for everything remotely computing related. Except issu
es with Windows/macOS. That shit's beyond repair.
The event is f
ocused on two things:
- a helpdesk for people wanting to migrate
off of big tech - i.e. learning to obtain media in non-conventional ways
that don't require subscriptions, escaping genocide-enabling and data-harv
esting companies (google, microsoft, spotify etc.), first steps with linux
and grapheneos and more.
- building community networks and gene
ral decentralised infrastructures. Regular attendees are into reticulum (<
a href="https://reticulum.network">https://reticulum.network), meshtas
tic (https://meshtastic.org) and mesh
core (https://meshcore.co.uk), there'
s also enthusiastic sysadmins and all other types of nerds.

We plug in the ether
net cable into the wi-fi antenna we just set up and watch the LEDs light u
p. Six blue lights, full troughput. We sense the data pouring trough the f
iber veins of the city. A digital mycelium network of pulsating light, inf
ormation exchange - right under our sidewalks, houses, roads. Data flowing
trough undersea cables, copper wires, and the ether, finally terminating
in a small box attached to the roof of the squat. Data - immaterial, untou
chable, abstract and immune to the cold December wind that's been botherin
g us for the last hour.
On another roof down the street an identical wi
-fi antenna senses a new presence. The loneliness is over, time to say hi,
perform a handshake and begin a quiet radio conversation. Six blue lights
.
Do you dare to take control of the infrastructure you and your
communities rely on? To float through the rotting arteries the informatio
n superhighway? To tune into the repulsive control exerted by the 'smart'
city, by the neoliberal sanitation of the old joyous internet? To make it
your playground? Abandon your human senses and become the machine?
No matter where you go, everybody's connected.
