XPUB1 something something something about software circulation

by Aymeric Mansoux

Hello, http://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mediadesign/Calendars:Networked_Media_Calendar/Netw... As promised, let's have our follow-up discussion after looking into Kittler and C compilers. We'll talk a bit about how software became a thing (and a publishing industry) and we'll talk about source code circulation and how that's shaped from the perspective of intellectual property laws, slowly building towards the concept of digital commons and the very "cyber" notion of cultural environmentalism that emerged in the mid 90s, and that we'll need to understand later on in following meetings the whole mess with free culture, P2P file sharing practices, DRM, and what not. I won't give anything to read this time, because I think you're having your fair share at the moment with the special issue! a. -- https://bleu255.com/~aymeric

XPUB2 + André: update regarding the surprise visit from HR board + student chapter for audit report

by Aymeric Mansoux

Hello XPUB2 and André, Some good news, 11 February afternoon: So in the end we managed to negotiate that no students/staff are needed for the "surprise" visit early February, that means you don't need to prepare and give a presentation. Nothing. However, it would be good if you are around, in case board members want to ask you questions (this would be very informal). Mid May External audit: You will get more info from Leslie and I when we know more about the format. Good news though, we also managed to suggest that you do not have to write the so-called "student chapter" that they requested, but instead fill a form with a couple of questions. Then the answers will be copy edited and merged by someone at WdKA. a. -- https://bleu255.com/~aymeric

XPUB1 Special Issue #8 - next session

by Manetta Berends

Hey XPUB1, Next week we will do our homebrew-infrastructour! This asks for a couple of preperations: * find out the location of your home router * figure out if you have physical access to it * figure out the password of your router * make sure there are free ethernet ports * make sure there is power available next to your router (for your server) If it's not possible for you to fulfill one of these points, it won't be possible to host your server at home.That is also ok and we will find a place to host it somewhere else.Please let us know on *Sunday the latest* if you can or cannot host a server from home, so we can schedule an optimal infrastructour route. :) The readingsfor next week: - the Feminist Server Manifesto-https://pad.constantvzw.org/p/feministserver(up to line 32) - What is a federated network? - http://networkcultures.org/unlikeus/resources/articles/what-is-a-federate... Suggestionsif you want to continue working on the serversin the mean time: Make sure *apache2*is installed. You can use to check if it is running, or start/stop it: $ sudo service apache2 status $ sudo service apache2 start $ sudo service apache2 stop Make sure you can not log in as root over *ssh*(try to do it!) If this is still possible make edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change 'PermitRootLogin yes' to 'PermitRootLogin no'. Look up how to make your user account part of the '*www-data*' group. That way you can upload websites to /var/www/html/. To upload files to the pi you can use the *sftp*protocol (in cyberduck) or the *scp*protocol (in the terminal). If you want to run a webserver in another folder, you can use the *Python**server module*: $ python -m SimpleHTTPServer (Python2) $ python3 -m http.server (Python3) If you want to work with a local network in the PZI, you can use the wifi-router that we were using. See you on Tuesday, we will send you a mail on Monday with the route and starting point of our tour. Best, Roel & Manetta ps. Could you please go through the steps we did last Tuesday with Artemis to make sure that she has a Pi that is ready to serve? A short cheatsheet of the commands we used: $ ping -b 192.168.100.255 $ ping 192.168.100.1 $ nano /etc/hostname $ nano /etc/hosts $ adduser username $ deluser dietpi $ nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config If you need root permissions to make any changes, you can become *root*with the '*su*' command. Add yourself to the '*sudo*' group to use the sudo command, for temporary root access.

Where we're going WE DON'T NEED PLATFORMS

by Aymeric Mansoux

Stumbled upon something relevant to current special issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYDwep9yI8A The /g/pol/ argument for website self-hosting and decentralisation with the classic magical recovery of the community approach (Clarke 1975) in relation to what the Internet used to be. Keywords: zoomers, meme magic, alex jones, milo yiannopoulos, social media, patreon, censorship, alt-tech. Maybe something to ponder upon when you're checking out your routers :) a. -- https://bleu255.com/~aymeric

Call for participants: Networks with an Attitude

by Femke Snelting

*Networks with an Attitude* Constant Worksesssion, 7-13 April 2019 @ Antwerp/BE Deadline for applications: February 10 "Networks do not tell all stories equally. Networks, like all entities with stories, tell most readily those stories in whose reflection they see themselves." [Eleanor Saitta, 2012] Hacktrices, financial idealists, privacy-engineers, LGBT militants, ethno-queers, radio-amateurs, biotech fans and surfing artists opt for federated networks: far from standard and not always reliable but intra-active, copyable, open, hackable and/or parallel. They acknowledge the electromagnetic spectrum as a critical resource and install community WiFi systems or throw their server in their backpack, pluggable only when needed. They host a community somewhere in the Fediverse to communicate, publish and connect with certain social networks while staying away from other layers of what once was called the digital highway. A changing climate challenges the landbased infrastructure and floating routers serve communities living on the open sea. Networks with an attitude do not only have a ’standpoint’, they offer a clear perspective on their own specific orientation, whether or not connected within the internet. Networks with an Attitude is a six-day worksession organised by Constant. During this intensive week we stretch the imagination of what a network is, and what it can be. Call: http://constantvzw.org/site/Call-for-participants-Networks-with-an-Attitu...

Delay

by Aymeric Mansoux

Hi all, Due to surprise cancelling of ICD trains this morning, I had to take a longer route. ETA at XPUB should be 11:10ish. I wanted to quickly introduce our guests this trimester so if you don't mind waiting a tiny bit, that'd be great. Thanks for your patience! a. -- https://bleu255.com/~aymeric
