New resource translation: (en) DNA you say? Burn everything to burn longer: a guide to leaving no traces

"This is a practical zine, but we'll take (brief) detours through theory. First, we'll talk about how cops work with DNA. Then we'll offer ideas for how to make their job as difficult as possible, both by giving tips to develop your own security protocols and by proposing a protocol that we consider appropriate. At the end, we've added more theoretical appendices on the biology of DNA and on some technical aspects of its use by scientists."

This zine was originally published in 2021 in French, and is now translated to English. As part of our editorial work on this translation we added many footnotes, either to add information or to explain our disagreements with the original text.

We hope that this zine will help English-speaking anarchists to better understand and protect themselves against the dangers of DNA.

Not gonna lie, it kinda sucks to be living in the "find out" stage of human history.

Oh snap, I guess you're going to have to find some other indulgent consumerist way to feel superior to the poors and the unenlightened.

Q: Why is Donald Trump suddenly selling $60 bibles?

A: It enables churches to funnel money to him without violating the (US law) ban on political campaigning by churches—it's a form of money laundering, in other words.

The "Trump Media & Technology Group Corp." isn't just another way to separate Trump cultists and meme-stock speculators from their money.

It's an unprecedented opportunity for the criminal-in-chief, the people in his orbit, and the people who want him in their debt to engage in pure corruption.

I may have some light criticism concerning the fact that "Bash inside a string inside YAML" has become the universal language for cloud computing

And for the non-Black* people wondering if Coeur d'Alene really is that racist... yes it is.

Because a good portion of the biggest self-described racists and white nationalists in the USA, intentionally moved to the area to set up shop. And the US has no institution capable of stopping racists from moving to an area, setting up shop, and taking over local government. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Well, this is a transcendent level of evil: Facebook bought a VPN company and deployed it, in part, to spy on its users.

https://techcrunch.com/2024/03/26/facebook-secret-project-snooped-snapchat-user-traffic/

It's a reminder that VPNs have their own risks, beyond technical ones if operated incompetently -- namely, that you have to trust the VPN company itself.

🚨NEWS: The company that chartered the ship that destroyed the Key Bridge was just sanctioned by regulators for silencing whistleblowers raising safety concerns.

Maersk’s policy violated the law, according to federal documents reviewed by The Lever. https://www.levernews.com/feds-recently-hit-cargo-giant-in-baltimore-disaster-for-silencing-whistleblowers/

So... I'm visiting the US. And can I just say one thing: FOX News is destroying this society, hastening demise of an empire already primed with broad-spectrum disaffection and staggering ignorance.

"From my part, I believe the very concept of exclusive intellectual property with respect to recorded music has come to a natural end, or something like an end. Technology has brought to a head a need to embrace the meaning of the word “release”, as in bird or fart. It is no longer possible to maintain control over digitised material and I don’t believe the public good is served by trying to."
