Practicing Protocols Workshop

Protocols

1. Using terminal

Varying levels of familiarity with working in Terminal. How do we feel being that space?
- like a hacker
- It's a common feeling to have to take care. Precaution with inputting any commands.
- sometimes ignorance is protective
- careful attention to advice from technical documentation etc.
- it feels like controlling my brain from the back end

Does it feel risky?

2. SSH

- authenticity of host can't be established. - trust issue
- hospitality; being a respectful guest & welcoming host (simultaneously)
- server playing hard to get but finally got a seat at the table
- the terminal visually looks the same whether its your local machine terminal or a different shared machine, so it feels like the same. Because you are bringing somewhere else to you instead of you going.
- there is an obscurity to the virtual
- How could an SSH feel more material, closer
- Anonymity
- temperature feels very material - what else could be included i.e. location to the server
- physically caring for it's wellbeing (plugged in)
- is the handshake appropriate? i.e. banking, trumpy handshakes, getting pulled in by the hand, whats the origin of the expression?
- is it about a manifestation of trust - and so what else could signify this
- server hugs

3. Sudo and tmux

being inside of each others systems.
trust and intamicies
loosing control
The feeling of discomfort comes from the idea of a laptop as a private (intimate) space?

collaborative protocols:

collaboration as knowledge sharing, roles as an exchange
sharing histories and movements
layering of bodies and positions

4. Exiting safely - exiting nicely

Slow unwrapping rather than smashing with hammer
Clearing up after yourself (in the kitchen)

Never exiting? Leaving it in a state of use
