	Small Internet Presentation at MCH2022
	July 29th, 2022
	----------------------------------------

	I'm back home from the Netherlands and MCH2022 (May Contain
	Hackers). It was a whirlwind and quite awesome. I'm just floored
	by how much stuff a bunch of volunteers can accomplish with
	motivation and creative hacking.

	The talks were amazing and most can now be found online on the CCC
	site. There was also an epic CTF game going on the whole week (I
	helped out in some lock picking challenges). The ad-hoc villages
	created by visitors were endless fun too. What a wild ride. I hope
	you all get the chance to attend one of these hacker camps in the
	future.

	I participated in one group panel discussion on social media,
	disinformation, and fascism that was really interesting, but not
	recorded. I also gave one of the curated stage presentations which
	was recorded [0].

	[0] Video of my Small Internet talk

	My main talk was about the small internet, and specifically about
	gopher and gemini. It covers some framing for what people mean by
	the term small internet, what services and activities fall under
	the umbrella, and a bit of sentiment and behavior information from
	the survey I shared here earlier. Then I run through a quick
	technical overview of gopher and gemini, and finish off with
	a quick nod at pubnix and tildes. The questions from the audience
	were wonderful and I hope it broadens awareness of our fun little
	spaces. If you want to see the slides from the presentation,
	they're a Nuxt app I tossed together for the purpose and can be
	found here [1]:

	I hope I get to go to another camp in the near future. Perhaps
	next time I'll discuss contract based dependency management [2].
