SNOT (Squatter Network Operations Team) comes to Utrecht! 

*This week also for help with making a backup of your autistici account or site on noblogs.org!

you have 10 days to backup your data before it's shut down: https://cavallette.noblogs.org/2026/09/10099

Every two weeks we come together at snoekhoek to work on the Reticulum network in Utrecht. This is your walk-in hours for everything remotely computing related. You can come to work further on the Reticulum Network in Utrecht, play around with routers, or to work on your own project. Except issues with Windows/macOS. That shit's beyond repair.

1. The trigger

In may, N00Bs, SNOTs, and all people in-between, gathered from the whole country to set up the first Reticulum node in Utrecht. Now is the time to expand upon this network in the heart of the Netherlands. 

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 the repulsive control exerted by the 'smart' city, by the neoliberal sanitation of the old joyous internet? To make it your playground? Abandon your human senses and become the machine?

2. The N00B

Or maybe 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 goodbye to the surveillance-packed dumpster fire called Windows 11/Mac OS and take back control over your devices?

Either way, come to on this monday evening to discover the freedom of hacking software and hardware and reclaim your digital autonomy. We are here to help.

All skill levels welcome and no previous experience required. Bring a funky gender and sprinkle some social awkwardness on top. 

3. SNOT

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