A feature of technology would like to added is that it could makes a therapeutic magic to oneself⭑~

• What is a server?

A computer that runs a program to provide services, or rather a role that a computer takes by running this program. Other computers can connect to the servers, either in a local network or remotely. Servers can be dedicated to one service (database, website, email, ftp) or can provide all these services in one server.

(HTTP: Hypertext Transfer Protocol is an application protocol that defines a language for clients and servers to speak to each other.)

• What is cloud computing?

'Cloud computing is an increasingly commonplace term today, used to describe the relocation of hardware resources, programs, and data from individual, local machines to a network accessible from a variety of platforms and devices. [...] the removal of the need for the user to be near to the larger material forms of storage and processing'

⭑A FEMINIST SERVER MANIFESTO 0.01⭑

A feminist server…

• Is a situated technology. She has a sense of context and considers herself to be part of an ecology of practices
• Is run for and by a community that cares enough for her in order to make her exist
• Builds on the materiality of software, hardware and the bodies gathered around it
• Opens herself to expose processes, tools, sources, habits, patterns
• Does not strive for seamlessness. Talk of transparency too often signals that something is being made invisible
• Avoids efficiency, ease-of-use, scalability and immediacy because they can be traps
• Knows that networking is actually an awkward, promiscuous and parasitic practice
• Is autonomous in the sense that she decides for her own dependencies
• Radically questions the conditions for serving and service; experiments with changing client-server relations where she can
• Treats network technology as part of a social reality
• Wants networks to be mutable and read-write accessible
• Does not confuse safety with security
• Takes the risk of exposing her insecurity
• Tries hard not to apologize when she is sometimes not available

Why quilt?

• to move from the abstract to the concrete - stitches, patches, seams, quilt
• gives an opportunity to visualise the work done collectively
• gives an opportunity to practice decision making protocols
• can be a method of publishing and storytelling
• a form of kinesthetic learning
• gives everyone something to be engaged in while making collective decisions
