A few weeks ago, the radio broke, and we were shocked by how many of you reached out, some saying you listen every day. We always assumed it was a minor feature (we don’t track behavior) but clearly it matters. So, we decided to dedicate some time to improving it. Before, our MP3 player could only play a single album. Now, it’s completely redesigned: it can handle full playlists, mix different artists, and even save

Ce texte est disponible en français ici : https://www.pirate-punk.net/discussion-du-forum/attaque-de-hackers-et-comptes-de-faux-administrateurs.83399/ On Wednesday evening, Pirate-Punk.net was attacked by hackers. Around forty fake “Administrator” accounts appeared and sent a massive number of private messages to users with a link to an infected website. Each member then received an email notifying them of a new private message. The fake accounts used real email addresses with residential IP addresses for registration, before a network of Russian bots took over for the coordinated

Early in the first week of April, one of our team members proactively discovered critical vulnerabilities during a routine security audit hiding inside several third‑party add‑ons that power our communities. Within hours we purchased fresh XenForo licenses, downloaded the newest release, and began a full round of core, plug‑in, and template upgrades across the entire network. It took around two weeks to get the work done across all sites. Forums patched and hardened: Anarcho-Punk.net Libertaire.net

A new server for the forums, again! NGNM network has just purchased a new server for the 3 forums and Infolibertaire, a migration is therefore planned in the coming days.

The reasons: – Aging hardware: Server 3 was purchased 7 years ago and has already been recycled twice,

All of our forums are collectively self-managed by their users using an anti-authoritarian moderation system. The decisions are voted through a direct democracy decision-making process involving all active forum members. Soon after the launch of the Libertaire.net Forum, an innovative direct democracy was implanted on the forum to replace conventional moderators which can be seen as authoritarian. Our programmers built a custom-made voting system where all decisions regarding forum moderation are taken, whether it is

(en) Protests events calendar aggregator We are currently testing a new custom-made aggregator for the protests calendar on Libertaire.net. It is based on the same principle as the concert aggregator for Pirate Punk – events published on more than 25 different sites are now added to the forum’s calendar. Our new scraper bots have been programmed to scan the web for activist events on various sites such as Demosphere and Mobilizon. The events are then sorted

(en) Automated concert announcements on Pirate Punk! You may have noticed a new member on the forum lately: @ConcertsPunk This bot is designed by the Tech Team and will automatically post concert announcements found on various websites and add the events to the Pirate Punk calendar. Eventually, the technical team would like this new project to end up being included in the newsletter. We plan to eventually send a summary of announcements of upcoming concerts

(en) The end for QuebecUnderground.net After 12 years online, it’s the end for QuebecUnderground.net Launched in 2008, QuebecUnderground was the “little brother” of Pirate-Punk. Inspired by the same model, the site consisted of a forum for free downloads. The only difference is that the site was focused on the Quebec scene. With hindsight, we realize that the Quebec scene is much too small to justify having a site that is exclusively dedicated to it. Quebec punks are not very

New features   New features added in June 2017:   Why a new website? 8 years ago, Anarcho-Punk.net was launched using a customized version of a forum software called phpBB. The forum system was heavily modified to fit our needs for a music download database, making it almost impossible to upgrade and this is why the website didn’t have any major updates since 2009. The Web changed a lot since 2009 and APN couldn’t keep

Resistance is now rebranded as Libertaire.net After more than 13 years of service under the Resistance.tk address, the forum will now be known as Libertaire.net. The reasons for this change are mostly technical and were explained in other posts. The network acquired the domain name Libertaire.net in 2012 and it was collectively decided to move to the new address. Our web designers have also made a new unique, custom-made graphic theme for the new site
