Preface

TL;DR researches ways to make sense of the hidden labour that goes on in a feminist server through log files and unlogged activity.

Log files are inaccessible files that track the work a server performs as data. They're both hard to retrieve, hard to decipher, and have a bias towards the technological ecology, prioritizing the labour of machines.

chopchop is a a Raspebrry Pi that is configured, maintained and used by XPUB1 as a community server.

The unlogged activity of a server includes the physical labour, the decisions about shared spaces, the different knowledges that depend on each other for the network to exist.

This EPUB is a generated compilation of logs with annotations that provide context to the situatedness of this technology. With one book a day, a diary of chopchop is kept, stored and shared.
