Anarchists in Chile are trying to recover from a deadly forest fire that destroyed communes, popular soup kitchens, and anarchist infrastructure in Valparaíso, Viña del Mar and Quilpué.

The Anarchist Assembly of Valparaíso and the Flora anarchist space are trying to raise $1000 USD. They have 6 days to meet their fundraising goal in order to receive the funds.

Please chip in a few bucks, and help them get back on their feet.

Thanks to all the comrades who joined today's "Selfhosted Infrastructure Any%" speedrun attempt 🥰 Didn't quite beat the goal time, but miraculously managed to get all the apps up, & it was lovely to chat to folks afterwards.

A video of the run will be coming soon to our Peertube channel, as well as a blog post write-up. As always, please join us on Matrix if you have ideas, questions, or comments, or if you'd like to be involved in future streams! https://matrix.to/#/#coopcloud:autonomic.zone

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.

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.

Oregon governor signs nation’s first right-to-repair bill that bans parts pairing

Starting in 2025, devices can't block repair parts with software pairing checks.

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. 🤷🏿‍♂️
