In this workshop we collectively examine the infrastructure behind the Internet by building a our own (prototype) server on an old smartphone.

Since the democratisation of the Internet in the 90s, the operations and communications we perform on the Internet have kept rising massively. Nowadays, we often hear about the cloud, as a way to describe all the online services that we access daily, such as emails, social media, data storage, video-streaming, AI chat bots, etc. But what does the Internet look like behind this fog screen?

    I like the idea, but I have two questions about using a phone here:

    1. We know that older phones don’t get updates and is it really wise to put a unpatchable server on the internet?
    2. What about the battery? We know that constantly charging an old battery is not that great.
