The internet is broken. But was it ever whole?

Error 417 Expectation Failed invites artists, curators, and collectives to reject the longing for a mythic "old internet" and confront #netNostalgia head-on.

We don't need to resurrect a past that never existed. We need to ask: what protocols, networks, archives, and shared conditions can build the internet we actually want?

Open call. Global.

The edge of the internet is closer than you think.

What if your community could exist without phone numbers, email addresses, or third-party websites? What if all it took was a sovereign identity and a local area network?

We have a working blueprint for digital autonomy, from local bars to neighborhood groups to small businesses. It runs on scarce resources, costs almost nothing, and leaves no one trapped. The escape hatch is always open.

Come see how we did it.

📢 Child Protection Is Not Access Control

Age verification is spreading beyond adult sites into social media, messaging, gaming. Even operating systems. The framing says it's for children. The effect is something else: a permissioned internet where access requires proof of identity.

We can and should protect children without turning the network into a checkpoint.

Centralized energy intermediaries don't secure power: they profile habits and raise barriers.

Energy Communities reverse this: prosumers share value internally, protected by encryption. No external exposure. No surveillance creep.

Everything that once felt connected suddenly is. Interfaced by brittle constructions of channeled electricity, we project ourselves into the ether. And there, in the ocean of data, our identities blend. Locality becomes osmosis. And realms flow into each other through their veil.

Welcome home, fellow dyne.

Our very own Zoe shares her publication "The untapped potential of digital knitting as a counter-concept to fast fashion", born from conversations with practitioners who refused to treat tech as neutral.

She explored knitting as a manufacturing vernacular, challenging mass production toward adaptability and transparent modes.

📌 Wherever You Are, We're Here (Planet Dyne S2026-E02)

In this issue, we go from Lugano to the asteroids, explore the the hidden data points behind Pizza, unearth a long missed version of Dynebolic, and engage the crypto-world to do the right thing. All to the usual tones of the latest meme-stock and event calendar.

☣️ Zenroom.org is now Y2038-safe (yes, the #Epochalypse ).

We moved to signed 64-bit time so we won't jump back to 1901 on 19 Jan 2038.

🔗 PR: https://github.com/dyne/Zenroom/pull/1179

Remember Y2K? Nothing happened. No planes fell, no riots, but an entire generation quietly learned to ignore warnings.

Anyways, Dyne always looks into the future, so we fixed this one too, before you have to care.

Don't wait until the last minute of 2037.
✅ 64-bit time. ✅ Tests included.

"The world is moving fast, and so are dynes."

That sounds sooooo 3 months ago!

Some things change, others evolve. It's all a matter of perspective in Space and Time: there are many different ways to keep a calendar.

Hopefully, the constant is that you feel comfort in this new issue of Planet Dyne. Remote access is a lot like astral projection.

Exposing crime is not a crime

From March 19–22, the @DisruptionNetworkLab@mastodon.bida.im conducts a four-day forensic on the WikiLeaks phenomenon. A gathering to dissect its impact on war, surveillance, capital, and culture.

Thirty speakers at Berlin’s HAU1 will trace the aftershocks, followed by an activation to draft the next protocol of exposure. This is a tactical debrief for the age of deeper, quieter controls.
