i started reading about anarchism at a very early age (14, 15?) after encountering a 2 page description of Nietzsche, Nihilism and Anarchism in an encyclopedia. I wasn’t in uni yet and back then only universities had internet connection, so i had to find books.

From Proudhon to Anarcho-Communists to Stirner to even Anarcho-Capitalists(!) i’ve read all. Add some Dadaism and later Situationists (and after more time their inheritors Tiqqun). I thought I’ve met Bookchin’s ideas late but apparently I’ve met him early through Ursula K. Le Guin (who wrote a wonderful fiction about an anarchist diaspora settling on the moon of a planet).

Not to forget thinkers/philosophers/poets (like Guattari for example, among many others) who wrote the most liberating lines without any anarchist consideration in mind.

I can’t recommend books but a method: Find books that interest you and follow the citations upstream towards other books (or downstream towards their spawns or inheritors).

Now that we have Wikipedia, we’re lucky to click/touch through articles and get books downloaded or delivered to our doors (if we’re lucky to have doors).

Good luck to you.

check the map on the linked Wikipedia page. Looks like it’s a “problem” in many other places

Are you suggesting it’s literally illegal to walk around with a barclava in your city?

☞ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_ban_on_face_covering

The French ban on face covering is the result of an act of parliament passed in 2010 banning the wearing of face-covering headgear, including masks, helmets, balaclavas, niqābs and other veils covering the face, and full body costumes and zentais (skin-tight garments covering entire body) in public places, except under specified circumstances.

a balaclava to be anonymous?!

which city let’s you walk around with a balaclava?

…yet. At this point I wish some aliens had mercy on us and nuked certain parliaments & sniped billinaires on this planet simultaneously, giving us a chance to try & start over.

why would we need aliens to do that? people reclaimed their “chance to try & start over” many times before.

books

but i was young before internets contaminated every corner of every skull

do people ever anarchise in older ages? Can a 40 year old start thinking that maybe we can be better off living in societies without archs?

The book you hold in your hands has become the principle piece of evidence in an anti-terrorism case in France directed against nine individuals who were arrested on November 11 2008, mostly in the village of Tarnac. They have been accused of “criminal association for the purposes of terrorist activity” on the grounds that they were to have participated in the sabotage of overhead electrical lines on France’s national railways. Although only scanty circumstantial evidence has been presented against the nine, the French Interior Minister has publically associated them with the emergent threat of an “ultra-left” movement, taking care to single out this book, described as a “manual for terrorism,” which they are accused of authoring. What follows is the text of the book preceded by the first statement of the Invisible Committee since the arrests.

How do I opt my access point out of Google Location services?

To opt out, change the SSID (name) of your Wi-Fi access point (your wireless network name) so that it ends with “_nomap.” For example, if your SSID is “12345,” you would change it to “12345_nomap.”

Doctors in the US have become the first to treat a baby with a customised gene-editing therapy after diagnosing the child with a severe genetic disorder that kills about half of those affected in early infancy. Ian Sample explains to Madeleine Finlay how this new therapy works and how it paves the way for even more complex gene editing techniques. David Liu, a professor at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and the inventor of these therapies, also describes the barriers that could prevent them reaching patients, and how he thinks they can be overcome.

I’d just like to have to trim my nails less frequently

i used to think like you, then i started (ab)using my hands for activities that wear them out. Now i’m glad that they’re growing sufficiently fast to replace/renew

There’s nothing uncontroversial about human genetic modification.
It’s a pandora’s box that just shouldn’t be opened.

apart from syncthing not being a backup solution, the question revolves around seldhosting im general, not purely on photo backup.

☞ “Mainly for photo storage backup.”

also, this is from syncthing-fork tips

anarcho-utopist, “mostly harmless”, dadaist + anti-speciesist

hello,

for “photo storage backup”, you can simply use syncthing.

easiest way is to use the convert option in VLC
