Providers compared include 1984, FlokiNET, May First, Koumbit, and La Contre-Voie. Software includes Colophon, WriteFreely, WordPress, Ghost, and Grav. Actual infrastructure choices, with actual trade-offs, because “just self-host it” is not a plan. #SelfHosting #DigitalAutonomy #OpenSource

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.”

The priority right now is simple: Preserve first. Migrate second. If your collective has years of writing, statements, history, documents or organizing material, do not assume it will remain reachable indefinitely just because you can still see it now. More detailed instructions soon. 5/5

Sabot Media @sabot.media · 07/09/2026
After preservation: • get your own domain if needed • choose a new host • set up WordPress or another publishing platform • import any official NoBlogs export if one becomes available • otherwise rebuild from the static copy • keep independent backups 4/5

Sabot Media @sabot.media · 07/09/2026
Important: HTTrack does NOT preserve the WordPress database, user accounts, plugins or admin backend. It preserves the public-facing site. If A/I later provides an official export or recovery method, save that too. 3/5
161
Sabot Media @sabot.media · 07/09/2026
Give HTTrack your NoBlogs homepage URL, let it crawl the site, then check the downloaded copy. Make sure your posts, pages, images and files are actually there. Then make another copy of that backup somewhere else. 2/5

Sabot Media @sabot.media · 07/09/2026
If you have a NoBlogs site, preserve a copy of it now while the public pages are still reachable. Nobody can currently rely on WordPress admin access, so one practical option is HTTrack, a free tool that downloads a static copy of a public website. www.httrack.com 1/5

6/6 host, domain, provider or collective disappears. Coming Soon: BECOME THE THOUSAND SERVERS A living guide to autonomous publishing, infrastructure and survival Follow the people experimenting. Follow small radical media. Preserve what matters. Then build something.

5/6 We need to understand how to build a thousand different pieces of what made A/I possible. Sabot is beginning a living guide to autonomous media and infrastructure, aimed especially at small and rural projects: how to publish, archive, distribute, host, mirror and keep going when a platform,
1279
Sabot Media @sabot.media · 06/09/2026
4/6 Other projects are trying other things: cooperative infrastructure, self-managed servers, RSS, mirrors, print, radio, downloadable archives, federated publishing and networks that barely resemble the commercial web at all. We don't need to find another A/I.
1205
Sabot Media @sabot.media · 06/09/2026
3/6 It has articles, archives, submissions and contact functions, reachable through a cryptographic network destination instead of an ordinary domain. 99a904b9ab830b7baa9d5115eb8854d7:/page/index.mu That is not the answer. That's what makes it interesting.

2/6 It should send us looking in a hundred directions. In Boise, the Boise Autonomous Solidarity Hub is experimenting with one of them. BASH has put a small independent publication on NomadNet, a system running over Reticulum rather than relying solely on the conventional web.
1214
Sabot Media @sabot.media · 06/09/2026
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.

6/6 Thanks to those who believed that another network was possible, that another way of being together could exist, that freedom was not an icon but a daily practice. Thanks to those who resisted, to those who resist, to those who will resist. Con tutto l'amore che c'è The BlackWave Collective

5/6 We never thought we’d have to find out. Thanks to those who guarded servers as if they were hearths, to those who wrote code as one writes a love letter, to those who kept free spaces alive whilst everything else was crumbling around them.

Sabot Media @sabot.media · 06/09/2026
4/6 They won’t discover the Internet as we did; they won’t learn to encrypt or write in HTML?! OUR FUCKING CHILDREN AND THEIRS WON’T HAVE AUTISTICI OR INVENTATI. They won’t be as free as we were. And they’ll be even more alone, without our tools!” What sort of world would it be without A/I?
1315
Sabot Media @sabot.media · 06/09/2026
3/6 Someone tries to tell her that we’ll save everything – every piece of data, every trace. And she explodes. “Do you realise that my daughter, your children, other people’s children, and those yet to come, won’t experience what we’ve lived through?

2/6 Some are saving PDF pages of the ‘Inventati’ lists that are still recoverable; others are swearing because they can no longer find the Indymedia archive and don’t want to bother anyone with an email at such a difficult time. She is crying, and she doesn’t want to be comforted.

7/9 The lesson has to be that we did not have nearly enough of it. We ❤️ A/I. We are heartbroken to see it end this way. And we refuse to treat its shutdown as the end of the idea it spent twenty-five years proving was possible.
1124
Sabot Media @sabot.media · 06/09/2026
6/9 flourishing, not retreating. Build them in basements, social centers, infoshops, collectives, cooperatives and wherever else people can keep a machine humming and a cable plugged into the wall. The lesson cannot be that autonomous infrastructure was too dangerous to maintain.
1114
Sabot Media @sabot.media · 06/09/2026
5/9 We need to become the thousand servers. Now. If one autonomous project can be isolated, there should be ten more behind it. A hundred. A thousand. This should be the moment radical hosting, federated services, community servers, privacy infrastructure and collectively controlled networks begin
1104
Sabot Media @sabot.media · 06/09/2026
4/9 And this cannot remain a problem for “the nerds.” People organizing in every sphere need to understand what autonomous infrastructure means, why it matters, and what happens when we leave it to a tiny number of exhausted technical collectives to keep the lights on for everyone else.
1124
Sabot Media @sabot.media · 06/09/2026
3/9 Sometimes it arrives as a designation, a compliance deadline, a terrified service provider, a bank account that suddenly stops working. Bureaucracy has always been one of authoritarianism’s favorite costumes. The paperwork looks terribly respectable while the walls close in.
