They are filled with stuff far more valuable than gold. Ram and GPUs.

Yeah if you’re just robbing them then the equipment itself is probably worth more than scrap metals. Harder to fence, maybe.

Not right now, I bet you'd find buyers

We would be remiss to not mention ol' reliable copper

Or the security gaurd making 15 an hour willing to die for that data center

As part of my job I have been to data centers for housed servers a few times. Even tho I just saw like 2 or 3 ppl working there, they had tight security. I had to show ID, be on a list and got a visitor lanyard. There were security cams. Also there was a gate that only let you in when the receptionist/guard buzzed you thru. They had free ear protection available. The lanyard would only let you open the heavy metal doors where your servers are and a room with some terminals I didn't need to use. No windows.

I think you would't make it to the devices before the cops arrive.

Maybe a long term infiltration strategy could work, but even if you pull it off, I doubt it's worth the hassle.

The big red key opens many doors, fed boy.

That and gasoline and matches are cheap. Just start in the generator room, where the diesel is.

I'm pretty certain 5-10 people with intent could make sure a DC gets razed.

I think, with the economy being so fucked, that using copper wire is enough.

They are filled with catalytic converters.

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.

Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.

This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Rules


  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

  7. No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.
