__PUBLISH__ __HYPHA__ HYPHA session 2, 10.04.2022 (sharing less-extractive tools we use regularly in our groups/colletives/associations...) - etherpad / collective note taking tool https://etherpad.org/ -- etherpump / etherdump are additions to the etherpad system, developed by constant and varia, to support the intensive use of the system, adding listing, export to html version, etc. https://etherdump.constantvzw.org/ https://etherpump.vvvvvvaria.org/ - bigbluebutton online video-conferencing + sharing documents https://bigbluebutton.org/ at constant there is one that can be shared with allies, following this pad-conditions: https://pad.constantvzw.org/p/bbb.agenda - Jitsi (video-audio calls) instance provided by FuturEtic https://visio.futuretic.fr/ https://futuretic.fr/ - Peertube (video hosting/streaming) instance maintained systerserver https://tube.systerserver.net/ - A techno-feminist queer collective video praxis platform If you know a group/collective or individual that needs video hosting please contact here, mentioning that you met us during ATNOFS: contact@systerserver.net - YunoHost (an interface to install all these sort of things) - make your own server without understanding how it really works https://yunohost.org - Tool to look for Mastodon instances https://instances.social/ https://fediverse.party/en/portal/servers/ - Matrix Server alternative to slack https://joinmatrix.org/servers/ - element app for phone - Zulip https://zulip.com/ - https://fediverse.party/ Psaroskala zines by Mara https://git.systerserver.net/mara/vpn-zines/-/wikis/docs?version_id=51a2a0de5481b1ba175a80d0f57619021ecef3a3 VPN zine (nice) https://psaroskalazines.gr/pdf/fanzine-vpn-mobile-en.pdf If you want to buy a zine to support mara you can send email to: hi@psaroskalazines.gr ZeroTier VPN platform for creating secure private networks. Testing this rocket.chat app in a self-hosted environment - https://chat.hypha.ro/home Public Private What our collectives need 1. security from police and state monitoring; especially since the term anarchism in Romanian may be used to denote lack of order and chaos which can be punished by law; organizations can be used as scapegoats by police; - we reached the conclusion that security is a privilege that is hard and almost impossible to achieve using the public internet infrastructure - for complete security, local networks are the only solution - during Hong Kong protests, peer2peer technologies were used to communicate https://www.businessinsider.nl/hong-kong-protesters-tinder-and-apple-airdrop-to-organize-2019-8?international=true&r=US - during Arab Spring protests, raspberry pies were used to setup mobile localnets for communication (citation needed) - a tragic event that took place in 2008 where police accted very aggressively against a potential anti-nato protest, destroyed the cohesion of many local collectives: https://www.statewatch.org/news/2008/april/romania-police-actions-against-anti-nato-protests-in-bucharest/ 2. a place to store and back-up more private archives, pictures from protests, documentation, our histories - we must be careful not to store everything in one place, because it could be easily lost - ideally we could duplicate this information in a network of multiple devices to have redundancy; raspberry pies would work 3. a place to talk to each other, it seems that a mastodon instance would be useful to connect us across Romania - we decided that we can gather together in a future session and set up a masto instance - a masto instance would be useful to have more filtered and concised knowledge, where don't get bombed by all sorts event, commercials and facebook-like features - mainstream social networks are still the only ones that can help us reach an audience beyond our bubble 4. action groups where we can chat privately and focused - facebook groups have become a pain - chat groups do not work, currently people use whatsapp and signal, but they can easily become very unfocused - we installed rocket.chat on chat.hypha.ro, looks like slack, probably not going to be a huge success; hypha is also very unstable 5. we can't provide services, our resources are fairly limited, incipient, our collective is small - we can learn together about technology and spend time together to maintain a server - we can install and play with these tools and see how things go To inscribe to the ATNOFS mailing list and follow the project, keep in touch: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://we.lurk.org/mailman3/lists/atnofs.we.lurk.org/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rosa went on vacation between April, 20 - April, 26 Most of us were (preparing to go) on holiday, therefore we did not have any phisical access to rosa. Why whe thought rosa decided to go on vacation: - work being done on the electricity installation of the building at filaret16 - someone unplugging all the sockets while cleaning after the recent community dinner Why rosa actually went out: - the SIM installed in the 4G LTE Router ran out of "internet". /\_/\ ( o.o ) > ^ < Start of vacation: --- Apr 20 10:35:01 rosa systemd[1]: apt-daily.service: Succeeded.
