<h1>hello world</h1>
<p>alexw.nyc is sent to you by a small computer that I am a caretaker of and 
which resides in my home.</p>
<p>Here is a technical overview:</p>
<ul>
<li>Hardware: Raspberry Pi 3B</li>
<li>Disk: 256GB Sandisk SD card</li>
<li>ISP: Verizon FIOS</li>
<li>OS: Alpine Linux, diskless install</li>
<li>Web server: lighttpd</li>
</ul>

<p>For more information about setting up your own server, check out my <a href='server-guide.html'>home server guide</a></p>

The source code and version history for this website is <a href="https://git.alexw.nyc/alexw.nyc">available</a>

<p>The pixelated avatar is generated via <a href="http://git.alexw.nyc/misc/files/cli/avatar.go.html">this script</a>, hashing the string "alex".</p>

<h2>counter cloud strategies</h2>
<p>I was inspired by christina cochior's talk on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fx3XcKy7LJY&amp;t=1200s">counter cloud strategies</a> and the related work <a href="https://varia.zone/atnofs-publication.html">a traversal network of feminist servers</a></p>
<p>The web today is becoming highly centralized, and most of us are completely
removed from the digital infrastrucure we depend upon. The web of the cloud is
not a community, it is a corporate-controlled ad-ridden monoculture. I believe
in building spaces that are independent of this world, spaces of creativity,
play, community and understanding. I view the current world of cloud
infrastructure as antithetical to this.</p>
