This page documents the tl;dr project part of Peripheral_Centers_and_Feminist_Servers
tl;dr researches ways to make sense of the hidden labour that goes on in a feminist server through log files and unlogged effort / activity. In a seamless world, awareness of techno-social infrastructure surfaces only when it's not working. But when you upload a photo, install an application, move a file, a technology serves, works, labours to execute what you've asked of it. Inaccessible files track this work as data. These files are inaccessible in two ways: they're hard to retrieve and hard to decipher. While these hidden files contain the not so hidden infrastructures of a server, they only manage to show a portion of it. After all, log files have a bias towards the technological ecology, prioritizing the labour of machines. The actual infrastructure consists of much more: the people maintaining (rebooting, organizing, meeting) for the tech to work. A feminist data center acknowledges and fosters the infrastructure surrounding this technology; the physical labour, the decisions about shared spaces, the different knowledges that depend on each other for the network to exist.

Design process

[describe how sketches led to the following designs]
[describe 2024-03-13 meeting between Senka and Thijs that led to the following updated design]
As the TL;DR can be previewed on an e-reader at varia, we'd like to test what we can do in terms of HTML/CSS/Javascript with the e-reader. A test page was created, that includes some scrollbars, some font stylings, some javascript scroll tracking, some animations, etc.

Template & annotations
The code has been merged and is now accessable via the GIT repo, and this (temp) URL. In the template, we've got the following variables, corresponding with commands. For each variable, there is a small if statement. If a variable is set, we show a level 1 annotation, visible when updating the slider.
- last_user_added
sudo journalctl _COMM=useradd -r -n 1 --output-fields=MESSAGE - users_created_today
"sudo", "journalctl", "-S","today","_COMM=useradd","-r","-n","1","--output-fields=MESSAGE - list_active_services
"sudo", "service", "--status-all" - list_groups
getent group - since_last_boot
uptime -s - list_package_installs
grep "install " /var/log/dpkg.log - list_package_upgrade
grep "upgrade " /var/log/dpkg.log - list_package_remove
grep "remove " /var/log/dpkg.log - device_info
grep "Model" /proc/cpuinfo | awk -F: '{ print $2}' - debian_version
cat /etc/debian_version - kernel_version
uname -a - hostname
hostname -i
