servus.at is part of the network of initiatives that call for the International Trans ★ Feminist Digital Depletion Strike. The initiatives is launched by The Institute for Technology in the Public Interest (TITiPI) https://titipi.org/8m/ and supported by many who call for attentions on the dynamics of dependency and exploitation in the cloud. The network takes a position to support the Trans ★ Feminist struggles and contextualises in it the need to change the current commercial cloud, into a feminist, anti-racist and anti capitalist shape.

Re:ARDC / map with servus projects, community, amro and infrastructure

Since mid-2023, we at servus have been following a process of evaluation and restructuring called reARDC (rethinking the Artist Run Data Center), the first iteration of which will be released in the fall of 2024.

The process started with the need to update the software that runs our main websites core.servus.at and radical-openness.org, which unsurprisingly opened a pandora's box of questions like "does it still make sense to host our own infrastructure?", "where is the community?" & "why are we still using Drupal?"

"What free radicals do and whether they can be stopped (A Portal for Radical Openness)"

Free radicals are part of the body's intricate system for keeping itself healthy. They are unstable software experiments that can damage current technologies. When free radicals collide with established technological ideologies to 'steal' an electron, the devices that lose electrons may begin to function differently.
