Session
Self-hosting your own websites is one entry point into making creative, small-scale, and meaningful reclamations of technologies present in our everyday lives. This workshop is a tiny exercise in homemade website infrastructure with a privacy-centric lens! It will start with a brief introduction to Tor and how websites can be hosted and accessed anonymously. Then, you’ll spend time going through the process of installing, configuring, and running Tor to host a personal website. You’ll then create your own web pages (bring your own or personalize the provided template), and form a short-lived webring by linking to each other’s onion websites.
