Two weeks ago we explored what it's like to message each other on reticulum via columba, attempted (and completely fa iled) to improve the wi-fi setup at Petteflet and brainstormed on what an anarchist tech research/educational institute could look like and also wha t this event is even about. What's gonna happen this time? That's up to yo u!

 1. The city

We plug in the ethernet cable into the wi-fi antenna we just set up and watch the LEDs light up. Six blu e lights, full troughput. We sense the data pouring trough the fiber veins of the city. A digital mycelium network of pulsating light, information e xchange - right under our sidewalks, houses, roads. Data flowing trough un dersea cables, copper wires, and the ether, finally terminating in a small box attached to the roof of the squat. Data - immaterial, untouchable, ab stract and immune to the cold December wind that's been bothering us for t he last hour.
On another roof down the street an identical wi-fi antenn a senses a new presence. The loneliness is over, time to say hi, perform a handshake and begin a quiet radio conversation. Six blue lights.


< p>Do you dare to take control of the infrastructure you and your communiti es rely on? To float through the rotting arteries the information superhig hway? To tune into the repulsive control exerted by the 'smart' city, by t he neoliberal sanitation of the old joyous internet? To make it your playg round? Abandon your human senses and become the machine?


2. The n00b

Or maybe you just want to play and figure out what a router does, how it works, and how you can use it for your own goals? Or better yet, finally say goodbye to the surveillance-packed dumpster fire called W indows 11/Mac OS and take back control over your devices?


Either way, come to Petteflet on a wednesday evening to discover the freedom of hacking software and hardware and reclaim your digital autonomy. All skill levels welcome and no previous experience required. Bring a funky gender and sprinkle some social awkwardness on top. This is your wa lk-in hours for everything remotely computing related. Except issues wi th Windows/macOS. That shit's beyond repair.


3. The SNOT

A Squatter Network Operations Technician breaks more things than th ey fix. They cut the wrong cables, freestyle configurations and drop their laptop in a pond. They release magic smoke from devices in an attempt to bring them to life. Use the wrong tools for the job all the time. Eventual ly though a SNOT arrives at an answer to the question they themselves pose d and sometimes even understands how they got there. And occasionally they come up with something useful.


Join the ranks of highly 31337 S quatter Network Operations Team and bite the technofeudalist hand that dis ciplines us. This is your moment to get into networking and build the infr astructures of tomorrow. 


No matter where you go, everybody 's connected.
