hey Lurk, last minute call! If you are in #rotterdam, I will be hosting a workshop on comp(h)osting phones: hosting servers on retired smartphones at #v2 on Thursday 16.04.26, 15:00-17:30

(...)
Starting from our most intimate and familiar device—the smartphone—this workshop aims to explore the material infrastructure that supports our online lives. In practice, you learn how to repurpose discarded smartphones into servers that host a simple webpage. This practice helps you to imagine other ways of building an Internet, one that places autonomy, reuse, and planetary limits at the forefront

Comp-Host-ing our Phones was developed by Marie Verdeil, in collaboration with @rein@merveilles.town and with the support of @creativecoding@post.lurk.org

CHRONOLOGICAL SERIES REVISED EDITION

Low-tech Magazine’s original book series is available again. This revised edition of the original (2007-2021), “uncompressed” series is based on the edits made for the compressed edition (released in 2025). However, we increased the font and image sizes and returned to a one-column layout for improved reading comfort.

Volume I (2007-2012), Volume II (2012-2018) and Volume III (2018-2021) are now available in paperback and hardcover via our Lulu bookstore. Volume IV (2021-2025) is on the way.

Articles written by #krisdedecker

The book design is a collaborative effort by Laia Comellas, @marieverdeil@post.lurk.org , and Johanna Gratzer. Marie Verdeil made the covers, Vaiva Vinskaite did the typesetting.

today was a day at @xpub@post.lurk.org in #rotterdam. I was invited by my <3 @doriane@post.lurk.org as part of her special issue on gossips and technology.
We showed xpub students how to host a server on an android phone using #termux.
The documentation lives in a website i made as part of an ongoing research with @rein@merveilles.town . Available at https://wiki.comphost.club.

First photo is @tommi@pan.rent termux setup with a USB keyboard attach to its fairphone to type easily.
