I’d buy this book
3d printed guns are generally terrible. I think a high tech approach to improvised firearms would be incorporating the use of extremely cheap, tiny, affordable lathes and CNC machines.
They have improved considerably over the past 5 years and are more than viable for an extended use drop gun than ever before.
All the better if you can use a sintering 3D printer and then mill the final dimensions to operational spec and choose a design that is less straining on the frame/receiver.
If you are talking about machining from a billet, that is a serious dedication of time, energy, and finances. It is one thing if you learn to mill for sustainability and self-reliance, a whole 'nother thing if you are that motivated to make guns without the man knowing. You still would be buying a barrel if you can’t drop enough for the setup to make one.
I mean sure but a piece of pipe and a shotgun shell will do the trick

“back in the 90s” - LOL.
January, 1971 -
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Anarchist_Cookbook
Best thing in the book was the section on drugs…
“You want to do pot? Here’s how to get and do pot. You want to do coke? Here’s how to get and do coke. You want to do heroin? You have to be fucking stupid to want to do heroin, we aren’t telling you how to do heroin.”
“Here’s how to make LSD from a banana peel” was such bullshit.
Was that actually in the OG cookbook? I know it was in the .txt that was circulating in the 90s by the jollyroger, but I never got my hands on the original…
I think so? Now I can’t remember if I got it from the book or from the text file.
They call it mellow yellow.

How to thwart AI surveillance and facial recognition discreetly.
How to thwart AI surveillance and facial recognition discreetly.
I recall an article saying a bit of makeup can be enough to fool automatic facial recognition. It compares flat, 2D images, so “faking different shadows” in key areas like the eyes and nose would make you a different person
It’s actually surprisingly difficult to thwart facial recognition with makeup alone. It’s not something as simple as just adding some extra contouring, because the software is typically using videos of moving people, not just a single still image. Plus new models are constantly being developed, and what works for one model isn’t guaranteed to work for all of them. Even makeup as extreme as this often fails to fool detection:
Even if wild makeup was the answer, you’d still have to start some kind of cultural movement for it to be practical. Otherwise you’re basically painting “political dissident” on your face and being the one person in town that looks like a Jackson Pollock will just make you easier to spot in the crowd.
Honestly I wouldn’t mind contributing if someone wanted to do it.

Obviously I’m assuming this wouldn’t be a paperback.
Llama?
Probably. I think that might be the top open source small LLM. I really need to set it up and try it.
It’s really just download and install. Just follow the instruction on the website. And check the readme on githun for how to use it.
If you want aa nice looking webinterface, instead of a commandline interface, you can also download one of the many ready to use frontends. You can find them in the github readme.
I installed it yesterday and the cli is pretty slow (on windows), but the rest api is pretty quick.

Some things wouldn’t be different, you’d still have some instructions on how to make certain drugs, explosives and chemicals. You’d just 3D print more of the components where appropriate, and guns.
If anyone is at all curious, there are plenty of places to download the original Cookbook.
Yeah but what about an updated one for 2024?
That’s what I just covered?
I think he’s asking for to download the content of the one for 2024. Not just the topics you mentioned.
Well, considering we’re engaged in the hypothetical contents of said book were someone to create it - it doesn’t exist. Seems you’re probably right, but not a well worded question considering the context of the discussion.
Tracking metadata for every government agency in the world.
Probably an entire chapter dedicated to 3D printing guns.
Personally quite a fan of the idea of making my own pistol (or, well, some of it) in the comfort of my own home, but far too poor to get a 3d printer that’ll actually do a good job.
Here you go. If you’re in the US, most states have stupidly lax laws on homemade firearms. It basically boils down to don’t make them too short, don’t make them full auto, put a serial number on it, and pay your taxes.
Serial number not necessary unless you’re selling it.
They like you having it incase it gets stolen.
That said, “1” is technically a valid serial.
Not my problem what “they like.” If it gets stolen, I’ll print another.
Mfers can literally do anything in the US as long as they pay their taxes.
Well, what’s the modern equivalent of an Army explosives manual to remix into dangerous misinformation?
You can already find army SOPs online.
A lot of the same stuff, plus information about how to mine crypto.
As a sidenote: That text file is partially why anarchism has such a bad rep today, because whoever wrote it obviously subscribed to the idea that anarchism means “chaos everywhere and no homework!!11”. It’s an interesting read, though. I just think the title is a bad fit.
But DO NOT try the recipes! Some are so wrong they could kill you just by following them to the letter.
If you really want to go that route, skip this book and read “poor man’s James Bond”.
If you wanna blow stuff up just get the Improvised Munitions Handbook
Quite a few of the improvised munitions are basically “take actual munitions, and improvise them bigger”.
Nice try ATF
I’ve been considering compiling the real recipies for a while now and just remaking the book. They’re fairly easy to find already though.
I don’t think that’s what the world needs right now tbh
tried the peanut one and vomited for 3 hours, while I thought it was 10 minutes.
don’t try.
A giant swath of 80s-90s teenagers thought that anarchism was “chaos everywhere and no homework!!11” it’s just that thankfully most of them didn’t collect a bunch of questionable advice into a book, LOL.
But, good connection that cryptobros are the modern version thereof, I hadn’t quite realized that until you posted.
I’d second this but including ways to hide your mining rig in a public area (not paying for electricity and running 24/7).
Yeah. The documentary American Anarchist adds some great perspective. The fellow who originally published it was a teen acting out who didn’t understand anarchism at the time. I didn’t even know better until I learned about it in post-secondary education.
A guide on how to get food without the IRS catching you.
Isn’t that called the food bank or soup kitchens?
Last time I went to a soup kitchen, they took my ID and made a file on me.
Sure, when they exist. They don’t always. They’re sometimes even penalized or limited by certain laws.
I live in the states. I you being a troll or are you serious because if your serious that is completely fucked up
My home town regulated soup kitchens the same way they regulated adult entertainment which, upon reading the document about zoning and restrictions, seems perfectly reasonable. Once you look at the city zoning however you realize there’s no single location within city limit that fits the criteria set. It’s legal for you to run one, there’s just no place you’re allowed to put it.
The country that hates the poors extra hard.
Those require registering. The kitchens are so overwhelmed (and there are some really shitty people) so they have to make sure you’re not just using the food bank for an easy meal ticket and taking food out of the mouths of people who genuinely can’t afford it. Some shitty people started going around to all the local food banks and collecting from all of them, then reselling what they had been given. Basically just straight up fraud.
To combat that, the kitchens started taking ID from the people who use it, and notifying all of the other kitchens that John Smith, DOB 01/01/1990 just got food. So when that same John Smith shows up at a kitchen across town 20 minutes later, they know he’s a scammer. Churches do the same with their philanthropy; They’ll often give out gift cards or canned food to the homeless, but it requires registering because some shitty people ruined it. They started hitting all of the local churches, to resell the gift cards.
It is shit like this that makes me go WTF and just sadder for humanity. I did not know they took id’s though. I worked at a couple in the US and did not see them take an ID. Now a food bank I have and worked with people who were scamming them. I only used them twice in my life when I was a broke out of work college student and don’t really think I would be here to say thanks to them i would not be alive today.

Lots of other stuff involving the Flipper Zero.
Ok now you got me curious what is a Flipper Zero?
It’s basically a pen testing multitool with focus on wireless media. I would highly recommend getting familiar with the local regulations (ie. FCC in the US) before obtaining and playing around with one.
The FCC doesn’t care about political philosophy when it comes to interference regs - they are happy to throw the book at you and have decades of detection equipment development to find you, if you mess with or interfere with regulated bands. For example, guitar pedal company Electro-Harmonix for slapped with a $450k fine and consent decree in 2013 for unknowingly violating FCC Part 15 regulations. Behringer was hit with a $1M fine in 2006. They don’t fuck around.
That said, I’d encourage you to learn more, maybe get involved with things like LoRa and Meshtastic. Great things for an anarchist to know about.

A retraction.
He also posted an eight-paragraph note on the book’s Amazon.com sales page, calling it “a misguided and potentially dangerous publication” and expressing his wish that the book be taken out of print.
And from wikipedia:
[…] he began writing about pedagogy and conflict resolution. This led him to renounce his book and instead campaign for its withdrawal from publication. He was unable to legally stop the publication of The Anarchist Cookbook because the copyright had been issued to the original publisher Lyle Stuart, and subsequent publishers that purchased the rights have kept the title in print. Powell publicly renounced his book in a 2013 piece calling for the book to “quickly and quietly go out of print”.

not to be daft but did you just link to another post I commented on?
Apparently Lemmy is that small, not following you or anything so don’t get excited 😊. I thought it was a spectacular article about where economic incentives have led the world and read it a bit before I saw this prompt so it immediately jumped to mind. Almost not anarchist, it’s capitalist, but has wreaked havoc to the point of anarchy in the US.
