Become the Thousand Servers now includes a full hosting provider comparison chart plus a breakdown of publishing software options including pricing, open-source status, licenses, migration realities, backups, privacy, control, and WordPress/NoBlogs fit. sabot.media/guides/becom...
Screenshot of the “I have a NoBlogs / WordPress XML export and need to rebuild my site” recovery pathway in the Become the Thousand Servers course. The page explains that the guide helps recover a blog, keep an independent backup, and document how someone else could move it later. It shows three large destination buttons: “Someone else hosts it for me,” “I want to self-host it,” and “I want another kind of destination.” Below, the progress reads “Step 2 of 2 (choose a destination to see the rest)” with a collapsed “Routes through this recovery path” section and links for “What is this XML file?” and “Choose where your blog will live.”

BECOME THE THOUSAND SERVERS A practical field course in autonomous movement infrastructure, built in the aftermath of A/I's shutdown. Learn what you depend on. Teach somebody else. The unit of resilience isn’t the machine. It’s the person who can reproduce the machine sabot.media/guides/becom...
Black-and-white DIY zine-style poster for Become the Thousand Servers. A large illustrated octopus rises behind several server racks, with tentacles curling around the machines and cables. A laptop marked with an anarchist “A” sits on top. A ribbon across the servers reads “Each one, teach one.” An astronaut floats below among looping cords, plugs, lightning bolts, radio towers, and transmission symbols. Large text at left reads “Become the Thousand Servers.” The bottom banner gives the URL: sabot.media/guides/become-the-thousand-servers.

1/6 A/I may be ending. The story is nowhere near over. For twenty-five years, #AutisticiInventati showed what it could mean for movements to build and control their own communications infrastructure. Its loss should not send everyone searching for the next single service to replace it.
Alt text: Poster-style graphic on a black background reading, “A/I IS ENDING. SO WHAT DO WE BUILD NOW?” in large cream and red block letters. In the center is a screenshot-like view of the Boise Autonomous Solidarity Hub, or BASH, showing its colorful pixel-art logo and simple text-based NomadNet site. Along the left are the phrases “Publish local,” “Mirror everything,” “Learn the tools,” “Support independent media,” and “Build together.” Text on the right says one collective can be shut down, but a thousand projects cannot, and calls for people to control their own communications. Mountain, forest, radio-tower, and DIY zine-style illustrations frame the page. Across the bottom, large text reads, “WE DON’T NEED ANOTHER A/I. WE NEED A THOUSAND SERVERS,” followed by a note that Sabot is building a living guide to autonomous media and infrastructure, especially for small and rural projects.

Three quotes. One clear trajectory. Designate the movement. Recast infrastructure as “material support.” Then go after the services and networks that keep people connected, even when those services are otherwise lawful. That is what makes the #Autistici/Inventati case big. sabot.media

Black-and-white illustration of three people crowded between tall server racks, tangled in a mass of cables while holding a laptop overhead. Dark storm clouds and heavy rain loom above them. The laptop is covered in activist and anti-fascist stickers, including a red-and-black flag. Grasshoppers perch around the servers and computer equipment. At the bottom, handwritten text reads “Complici e solidali con,” above the Autistici/Inventati logo.

New official campaign hub for tracking stories, press releases, and technical updates directly from #AutisticiInventati for the most up to date #News keepitfree.ai also, for redundancy's sake, here is our own stab at a campaign hub along those same lines sabot.media/campaigns/au...
Keep the Internet free

We are not terrorists. Autistici.org is an infrastructure of dissent

Announcements Technical Updates Press coverage Solidarity

English Italiano

On August 26, 2026, the United States placed the Italian collective Autistici/Inventati on its terrorism
sanctions list, accusing it of providing online services to violent groups. Since 2001 the collective has
offered free email, hosting and other tools to activists, and it rejects the accusations entirely. Two days
later its website disappeared from the internet — not because the machines were switched off, but
because the address that leads people to them stopped working.

Follow the case here. Join the campaign for a free internet.

New FAQ from A/I www.inventati.org/docs/faq/faq...
“What happened to NoBlogs?

On 2026/8/28, someone managed to escalate to privileged access on the noblogs.org
platform, leveraging a software vulnerability. We had to intervene to restore the site to
safety.

‘We didn’t find any proof of data exfiltration, however it is impossible for us to exclude
that the attacker might have had access to the Wordpress user database, which contains
email addresses of NoBlogs users, along with their (hashed) passwords.

As soon as the noblogs.org platform is fully operative again, we strongly advise every user
to change their password.

Update to article in Institutional Response from PIR section.
“Public Interest Registry (PIR) is a U.S.-based organization and is required to comply with U.S. law, including applicable sanctions. In this case, the affected .ORG domain name was identified on the U.S. Treasury Department’s OFAC Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN) List, and PIR is legally mandated to suspend it. The registrant of the domain has a right to challenge the designation determination. PIR has no involvement in that process. Should the registrant be successful in such a proceeding, the suspension would be lifted.”

PIR did not identify the specific statutory or regulatory provision it believes mandates suspension, say whether OFAC directly instructed it to act, explain whether A/I or its registrar received notice, or describe any internal process for reviewing the suspension. Its statement indicates that restoration depends upon successfully challenging the underlying designation rather than appealing directly to PIR.

8/31/26 at 6:35 PM - In additional information provided to Sabot Media "on background", PIR stated:

“It is extremely rare for a .ORG domain to be identified on the U.S. Treasury Department’s OFAC Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN) List.

“When a .ORG is added to the OFAC SDN list, PIR is legally required to suspend the domain or could face significant civil and criminal liability, including imprisonment.

“In this case and all cases, PIR follows a standard protocol to immediately suspend the domain name to remain in full compliance with the law. PIR doesn’t know the details of this specific determination or any other OFAC determination.

“PIR supports a free and open Internet and fully supports the registrant’s right to challenge the designation determination.”

PIR said it had nothing additional to share. It did not identify the specific statute, regulation or OFAC directive that it believes required the suspension.
