Description
In this workshop, we peep into the terminal, for command line based maintenance and routine tasks a server needs to support our (human) interactions. By showcasing some of the maintenance care we do over systerserver, we see how-to do sys-admining with shared terminal sessions, configure security updates, email notifications, minimal firewall setup, cron jobs, and restricted root privileges for backups or other sensitive processes. What makes a server feminist and how w
e allocate labors in such affective infrastructures form the baseline of the workshop. How to nurture safe spaces, and subvert tech expertise based organizational relics by imagining novel roles of responsibilities, are some of the methodologies borrowed from a feminist pedagogy, and will be discussed during this session.
