*Workshop description*
Where does your browser go when visiting a website? What does it talk to? Who owns these computers, and are their interests aligned with yours? In this hands-on workshop, participants will set up computers with the ability to host personal home pages, and their own private version of cloud services. We will address challenges and benefits of short, medium, and long-term hosting infrastructure and how to get started.

*Meet the teacher*
Jonathan Dahan hacks physical places, virtual spaces, and the networks between people who traverse them both. He likes to both impose and break artificial limitations, as a conduit for learning through play.
