We love to mix: methods, disciplines, knowledge, culture and languages. We love our Bastard Culture!
Code is our literature: we build software to communicate, interact and inspire. Dyne.org is where art, science and technology meet open source.
We recycle old technology rather than create needs for new one: this is our way to respect the environment and optimize resources.
Our heritage
A large amount of people and organisations in all fields employed and redistributed our creations. Our software gives everybody the right to use, study, share and improve its code, supporting fundamental freedoms.

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.

It's a smol piece of software that lets you broadcast video in the simplest of ways: turning images into text (ASCII) and uploading it to a server. Those on the other side of the WiFi-antenna can visit a website that automatically refreshes the text every X seconds. Lightweight, elegant, and most of all: stylish! Regardless of whether you remember, do we have good news for you? Yes, Hasciicam has seen a major upgrade; it is now at version 2! This version even runs on Mac and Windows. It allows you to tweak the settings live in the SPL mode (-O SPL with libsdl2 installed). And all the goodness, like the original fonts from the AA-project crew, is still there! This is THE thing to plug into your OBS or VJ:ing setup! Hasciicam Live ASCII video Usage guide π€ Vatican mic-droped, and we agree The pope calls to "disarm" AI, just like nukes.

In fact, Planet Dyne goes way back with the Rome Call! Organisations | Rome Call Rome Call The Kingdom of Gogole, planet Earth In a totally non-shocking turn of events, Gogole (not a typo, no) continues to extend its tentacles and to lobby its way into our lives. If nobody takes charge on a governmental level, it looks like the governments, their institutions, and financial apparatuses will have to choose between sovereignty and access to digital infrastructure. Well, that's not how the whole schtick is framed, but just imagine logging in to your government web portal, and only approved phones can pass Gogoleβs new reCAPTCHA, locking out privacy-focused alternatives, and well, you know... potentially locking out the government too! Why not? That is, of course, a nightmare scenario unlikely to happen! We have no reason to fear any of that, as long as we're not doing Gogole any harm... ...right? Here's what you can do about it! The good news is that the kids get it! In fact, one of the Gogole dudes en chief was booed during a graduation speech, for making a marketing pitch about a shiny new robot.

[ π©πͺ Berlin ] Neocypher Summit #1 ποΈ June 14 2026, π Funkhaus Berlin π 10:00 - 18:00 Gathering at Berlin's historic Funkhaus, the Neocypherpunk Summit brings together a global network of hacktivists, researchers, technologists, whistleblowers, philosophers, lawyers & policy-makers. From defending resistance networks under political duress to scaling cryptography as civic infrastructure, the summit explores how open protocols and privacy tools become a resilient, shared foundation for digital autonomy, free assembly, and accountability. Neocypherpunk Summit #1 14 Jun 2026 - 2025 was an exceptional year: 10000 people, 130 speakers from Eva Galperin (EFF) to Roger Dingledine (Tor) speaking. We decided to make a sequel and strengthen Cypherpunk activism, culture and actions. Web3Privacy NowAndy GuzmΓ‘n Lead at PSE That's it for this episode of Planet Dyne!

Dyne supports software freedom for many decades, and its founder is the godfather of hacker activism. We are immensely grateful to their support over the years during our nascent humble beginnings. Dyne provides long term stable, sustainable and secure backing for important projects.
β Amir Taaki
Dyne.orgβs contribution to the Free Software community is immense. We appreciate this work from India.
β Frederick Noronha
I have worked with Dyne on projects for the EU Commission. They are one of the most important free software organizations in the world, and are constantly pushing for using new technologies to actually help in the daily lives of citizens.
β Ola Bini
Dyne.org is made of Empowering Technologies, Sovereign Hacktivism, Autonomous Policy, Protological Subversion, Alternative Operating Systems and Utopian Code.
β prof. Geert Lovink
The Tomb project by Dyne.org is actually really cool. They have done a lot of work to make the power of cryptsetup accessible to mere mortals.
β The Grugq
Zenroom stands for Citizen Crypto. It is a core part of the DECODE tech stack for Smart Cities and makes it easy to understand the complexity of data transformation while being compatible with any platform, including Legacy Infrastructure. Dyne.org makes Crypto for Citizens and makes it Open Source.
β Francesca Bria
I was the 2nd Debian project leader. These days, I prefer to run Devuan, a true Debian derivative engineered the way I would probably have decided to make it. Itβs efficient and trouble-free. Thanks to the Devuan developers for all of the work!
β Bruce Perens on Slashdot
My company Computer Dudes uses Tomb for long term encrypted storage on external hard drives and usb drives which have to be connected to a computer for access. It is a very secure way to store new and old files. They make much more than just Tomb including custom Linux Operating Systems like Devuan and Dynebolic. All these can be downloaded for free from the website at dyne dot org.
