Yesterday we wrapped up @xpub’s Special Issue 29, Gossiping at the Intersection of Crafts and Resistances, stewarded by the one and only @doriane.

It was so good. It unlocked many incredibly enlightening thoughts, all classes were intense and most times we had super cool guests.

@barbs, @youjungnoh, and I hosted Our Digital Home a workshop unveiling the materiality of the cloud using the metaphor of a home. We hosted it in my living room ihihih 🛋️

Here is a very representative inception picture of us collectively reflecting on our work (credits to @semilanceata). Damn, I love our team dynamics, we were a bit chaotic (no thanks to me) but we had fun, and I am very proud of what we brought together 🌻

💾 The File Count Challenge 🔎

Have you ever wondered how many PDFs, images, videos, or particular kind of files you have on your device? It is the time to find out.

I am hereby proud to officially launch a Fedi-wide file count challenge, in exclusive partnership with the 2025-27 class of @xpub 👾

💁 How to participate

  • Go to your main device (not mobile)
  • Open the terminal
  • Run find . | grep '.pdf$' -c (on Windows: gci -r | where Name -match '\.pdf$')
  • Repeat the previous command, replacing “pdf” with any file format you are interested in sharing. We suggest: jpg, mp3, and png. 🔆 Bonus: html, js, ttf, odt, svg
  • Take a screenshot of the output
  • Share the screenshot on the Fediverse, using the #fileCountChallenge hashtag (please, copy-paste the actual text from the terminal in the image description/alt text)
  • Add your (user)name and results to the scoreboard
  • 🆒 Bonus: share the story explaining why you have so many/little files for one format.

    • 🏆 Awards

    There is a secret prize for the three people who have the most PDFs, JPEGs, and HTMLs. More info to follow.

    Boost, share, fork… Do whatever you want, but please have fun while doing it.

    I willl keep writing updates. Yaaaaaaay ⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️

    In today’s prototyping class at @xpub we have been looking at Nginx logs live.

    It is CRAZY to see the actual amount of bot connecting to our website and our wiki 😱🤬

    I decided not to use any analytics on my website a while ago already, but I am wondering if it exist an Internet traffic measurement tool based exclusively on information from Nginx logs?

    I would gladly prefer something simple that stays in the terminal, but I would not mind installing something that can be also publicly accessible (like Grafana).

    Technical information about this website, and notes on its development.

    I was waiting for all of them to be on the Fediverse to tag them all, and mark this moment for posterity:

    this is when we decided we would get a Ham Radio license. 19 Jan 2026, 13:59:14 CET.

    We really must do it now, @martina @wlwni @sevgiiiii + me

    Last Wednesday, my fellow XPUB1 classmates and me wrapped up the trimester with a collective folding, binding, and paginating party to make A_Mazing Machine[s]: Wordscapes to Liberate Language, the printed publication of our Special Issue 28!

    My first few months at @xpub have been incredible. I am so proud of my classmates, the work we did together, and what we learned. I am also very grateful to our tutors, who have been super kind and inspiring!

    All information, plus a PDF of the printed version, made with WeasyPrint is available on this Eleventy website we created to share all the things that we explored. It mirrors our incredible, legendary wiki. It was very interesting and insightful, so I published my notes about Using MediaWiki as a CMS for Eleventy.

    Of course we forgot to take more meaningful photos, but yesterday’s Intro to Local First at @xpub it was super interesting and insightful 💡

    Thanks @tbernard and @p2panda ❤️

    We were surprised and glad that @KingmaYpe discovered the event via the Fediverse and joined us, giving us an insight on Local-First and private Smart Meter measurements 👀
