+
+ +
+

github and 'retard'

+

github has positioned themselves as 'essential' for development

+

github's users are github's product

+

+

The Cloud

+

Aw, crap

+
+ +
+

The Internet

+
The goal was to exploit new computer technologies to meet the needs of military command and control against nuclear threats, achieve survivable control of US nuclear forces, and improve military tactical and management decision making
+

Fully distributed - no single point of attack

+
+ +
+

The Cloud

+

Consolidation and ammortization of adminstration of computer resources

+
+ +
+

IaaS

+

Computers as a Service

+
    +
  • Amazon Web Services, Google Compute Engine, Microsoft Azure
    • +
  • OpenStack - Dreamhost, Vexxhost, OVH, Unitedstack, CityCloud
    • +
+
+ +
+

SaaS

+

Stuff my mom might use

+
    +
  • gmail
    • +
  • Facebook
    • +
  • iCloud
    • +
  • github
    • +
+
+ +
+

The Cloud

+

Re-centralization

+
+ +
+

git v. github

+
    +
  • git is a fully decentralized distributed version control system
    • +
  • github 'makes it easier' by introducing a centralized cloud hosting + system
    • +
+ ps. github was down this morning +
+ +
+

Shameless slide to justify to my employer that I'm here

+

OpenStack vs. Amazon

+
    +
  • Imagine you're a company in Germany
    • +
  • Now imagine using a service run by Apple, Google or Amazon
    • +
  • Now think about how that puts you in relationship to the FBI
    • +
  • MAYBE the world being beholden to US shareholders isn't great
    • +
+
+ +
+

Is the ease of access an increase or decrease of freedom?

+
+ +
+

What about when you want information to go away?

+
+ +
+

Apple did not hack the iPhone - but they can

+

Your phone is connected to Apple's Cloud

+
+ +
+

Other people are not as competent as Apple

+
    +
  • 50 million turkish citizens data leak
    • +
  • 300 Hyatt hotels leaking credit card data

+

In the cloud, you are at the mercy of the choice of companies to be benevolent

+
+ +
+
Why are we here? I think many people assume, wrongly, that a company + exists solely to make money. Money is an important part of a company's + existence, if the company is any good. But a result is not a cause. We + have to go deeper and find the real reason for our being.

Companies are there to make money

+
+ +

How do we manage and control of this

+

Andrew's Leaf Quote

+
    +
  • Don't use 'the cloud'
    • +
  • Encryption
    • +
  • tor project
    • +
+
+ +
+

The **redacted** Approach

+
    +
  • No google account.
    • +
  • No twitter. No facebook.
    • +
  • No cloud services he can't run him self
    • +
  • No annotated photos online
    • +
+
+ +
+

Encryption

+
    +
  • Public Key Encryption
    • +
  • "Something you have, and something you know"
    • +
  • gpg
    • +
  • Doesn't work in fully hosted services
    • +
  • keybase.io
    • +
+
+ +
+

tor - the Jake Applebaum Approach

+

Tor was originally designed, implemented, and deployed as a third-generation onion routing project of the Naval Research Laboratory. It was originally developed with the U.S. Navy in mind, for the primary purpose of protecting government communications. Today, it is used every day for a wide variety of purposes by the military, journalists, law enforcement officers, activists, and many others.

Serious question

+
    +
  • twitter has helped communication during the Arab Spring
    • +
  • github hosts tons of Open Government information
    • +
  • Does the hosted enablement outweigh the centralization of power? + How do we, as a society, regulate that power?
