Quicksort exercise 10-03

We then discovered that any computer can be a server.
As Martino said: “Any computer that runs a service for other computers to access, is in fact a server.”

We walked through the notes that Martino keeps on this etherpad:
http://stuff2233.club:9001/p/internet

Firstly to connect to each others machine and be able in the browser to navigate and download stuff from someone elses machine.

And then to set a folder that you share within the network, where access to the rest of the machine stays limited.

As a last exercise, we looked at the logic of Domain Name Servers; DNS.
How can we detour the DNS server of our internet provider and reach websites that seem to be blocked, but in reality the domain name is rerouted to another ip address.
How can we connect names to ip addresses on our own computers?

thank you Martino !

Panopticum

Benthem (18th century sociollogist)
centrally controlled prison space, can be overseen from one point

Ducpetiaux is the first general inspector of the new state of Belgium in 1830. Introducing the panoptic prison model in Belgium (Forest / Saint Gilles) And also remodels areas in the city where transparancy and patronage can be executed.
(garden cities, cité jardins: La Roue, Scheut (Anderlecht) )

“En matière pénitentiaire, Ducpétiaux pensait que la prison devait régénérer les détenus, régénération passant par l’expiation, l’amendement, l’organisation du travail, l’éducation, l’enseignement religieux élémentaire et l’enseignement industriel et enfin l’isolement continuel des prisonniers2. En complément de l’action des prisons, il voyait dans le patronage des prisonniers libérés un moyen de réinsertion sociale.”

From this point of view controlling citizens is a logic step.

** David Brin:
The chief thing accomplished by Privacy Laws is to make the (spy) bugs smaller: “A law guaranteeing privacy simply insures that bugs — microphones and lenses and so forth — are that much harder to spot.”

Option 1: a perfect Orwellian hegemony, empowered by universal elite omniscience…

Option 2: a wide open citizen-driven society, empowered by sousveillance and universal omniscience.
