A locker cabinet has appeared in Petteflet. Our own space to store all the hoarded electronics/educational aids we ne ed. It's pretty ugly, should we bedazzle it? I'd like to extend a warm wel come to all the artsy kids and craftspeople of this city. Bring your own m aterials and ideas! The shelf is steel, about 50x50x100 and painted someth ing like RAL6000? The paint is chipping off in many places and there's ple nty rust.


Also we're gonna do this every week from now on.

Last event was a small and cute one that brought One More Linux User to this world! They came with a laptop and we installed Linux Mint - a beg inner friendly distribution that Just Works™. Also gave a little bit of ad vice on how to start with it.


Additionally 3 access points were freed from the dirty claws of Ubiquiti. We cast computer spells together s itting by the faint candlelight upstairs. The spells have worked and the a ccess points are running openwrt now. It was the first time doing that for one of the folks that showed up and they found it a pretty okay process. If they can do it, you can too! We also yapped about reticulum and why it' s cool and shared software recommendations with each other.

1. The city


We plug in the ethernet cable into the wi-fi antenn a we just set up and watch the LEDs light up. Six blue lights, full trough put. We sense the data pouring trough the fiber veins of the city. A digit al mycelium network of pulsating light, information 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, untouchable, abstract and immune to the cold December wind that's been bothering us for the last hour.
On a nother roof down the street an identical wi-fi antenna senses a new presen ce. 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 information superhighway? To tune into th e repulsive control exerted by the 'smart' city, by the neoliberal sanitat ion of the old joyous internet? To make it your playground? Abandon your h uman senses and become the machine?


2. The n00b


Or may be 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 good bye to the surveillance-packed dumpster fire called Windows 11/Mac OS and take back control over your devices?


Either way, come to Pettefl et on a wednesday evening to discover the freedom of hacking software a nd hardware and reclaim your digital autonomy. All skill levels wel come and no previous experience required. Bring a funky gender and spr inkle some social awkwardness on top. This is your walk-in hours for ev erything remotely computing related. Except issues with Windows/macOS. That shit's beyond repair.


3. The SNOT


A Squatter Net work Operations Technician breaks more things than they fix. They cut the wrong cables, freestyle configurations and drop their laptop in a pond. Th ey release magic smoke from devices in an attempt to bring them to life. U se the wrong tools for the job all the time. Eventually though a SNOT arri ves at an answer to the question they themselves posed and sometimes even understands how they got there. And occasionally they come up with somethi ng useful.


Join the ranks of highly 31337 Squatter Network Opera tions Team and bite the technofeudalist hand that disciplines us. This is your moment to get into networking and build the infrastructures of tomorr ow.
