This repository is a developing guide to hosting websites using Tor, a privacy-centric and censorship-circumvention tool. It's divided into two sections:
docs/: the written guide available online at https://self-host.lizz.websitedocs/content/index.md: markdown version of the guide
site/: a sample site and files you can use to follow the guide
This guide is part of a larger, work-in-progress workshop series on Tor that explores how power is distributed in networking infrastructure and invests in more playful, DIY internets.
Technology skillshare is an exercise in imagination, since understanding how technologies came to be and how they operate is an opportunity to understand that they're not inevitable or permanent.
There are real alternatives that exist in the world right now, which present avenues, both material and ideological, for disinvesting from present conditions and systems of harm. Tor gives us a real strategy for navigating privacy, surveillance, and censorship on the internet today, as well as models for distributed stewardship of network infrastructure. It's an incomplete and imperfect tool, where we can practice skepticism and technology critique, while actively resisting the search for technological saviors.
This series has been developed with support from many brilliant and kind collaborators and teachers from Collective Action School, the School for Poetic Computation, and Tech Learning Collective.
