what is SSH

• Secure Shell on wikipedia
• SSH on xpub wiki

From wikipedia, we learn that:

• The Secure Shell Protocol (SSH Protocol) is a cryptographic network protocol for operating network services securely over an unsecured network. Its most notable applications are remote login and command-line execution.
• In 1995, Tatu Ylönen, a researcher at Helsinki University of Technology in Finland designed the first version of the protocol (now called SSH-1) prompted by a password-sniffing attack at his university network. The goal of SSH was to replace the earlier rlogin, TELNET, FTP and rsh protocols, which did not provide strong authentication nor guarantee confidentiality. He chose the port number 22 because it is between telnet (port 23) and ftp (port 21).

What do we mean?

I am on my computer using its keyboard and its screen. But when I SSH, it's like i am on another (distant) computer, but using the interface (keyboard, screen) of my computer. We do that to interact with a server, without having to be in the same space or to plug a keyboard, or screen on it (maybe it's in a datacenter and I don't have access to it physically even...). I can use that computer, through my computer, using SSH.

Communal servers can be said to be like shared space, a colocation. In order to feel good in a colocation we need shared rules as much as shared agency. However if we connect at many on a server there isn't a chat room to share links or explain things to each others. For shared rules and shared agency, we resort to:

• naming the folder/file in a way that convey a meaning, and standard naming practice, like what's hosted is it /var/www/ (balconny), and /home/ (our bedrooms) contain one folder per users with their 'home' directory. Things like this already induce that some spaces are more intimate and other more shared.
• putting README.txt (like little note on the fridge) file in directory to invite people to read them as little manuals of what's happening there (using cat to dump the text, or nano to edit it).
• read and write access can be given using chmod and chown (keys and lock we put on the doors) to give different rights to different users.

• tilde.town
• tilde.club

what is TMUX

[1] TMUX was first published as open-source code in 2007 by Nicholas Marriott.

astral projection but we merged our souls

collaboration become "character granular", also we are the same person.

your first TMUX session

(20min)

small exercice to write, one big session started by us.

tmux -S /tmp/(socket) new -s (session) within session: chmod 777 -S /tmp/(socket) tmux server-access -a (username)

for the students after getting access, attach: tmux -S /tmp/(socket) attach -t (session)

we show 2 things:

• kaa show a command
• doriane show a command
• we asked if a student want to show a command.

tmux2web2print: serving gossips

(20min)

What are the server gossiping about?

• teletype and RTTY, telex machine, the first "terminal" print recipe instead of having a screen
• feminist server, documentation is hard, can we have documentation generated on the go, with all the organic chaos that comes from it as part of the pedagogy
• tmux hook activating using bash script
• HTML/CSS are generated immediatly on the served folder to acces it online
• we can print them using ctrl+p !

The zine capture what is send, so if you write things in the prompt but remove it, it's not going to be there. Think about the outcome, it's nice to use echo: if you type some interesting comment collectively in the prompt zone, someone can just write echo in front and send it so the interesting comment is saved in the zine later.

merged soul pedagogy

by group of max 4 persons.

1. you start a tmux session together.

  (put back the command to do so)

2. once we made sure that the setup is working for everyone. you have to first select at least 3 command that some people of the group don't know about and at least one person know about. 3. the groups split in space. 4. then teach them to each others by showing how they work inside of a tmux session. warning 30min goes fast, try to not spend more than 10min on a command.
