🚂 Model Internet Club

December 16, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Flyer with a line drawing of two smiling turtles facing each other, each wearing a hat and carrying a computer on its shell. The text reads: Model Internet Club / Help us build an offline network using recycled computer hardware. It's fun! / Sat, Dec 16 1-5 p.m. at Iffy Books / 404 S. 20th St., PHL / iffybooks.net/event/model-internet-dec-16

The Model Internet Club meets again on Saturday, December 16th, 1–5 p.m. Newcomers are welcome.

The network is up and running! We now have a DHCP server, a DNS server with custom domain names, and handful of websites running as virtual hosts in Apache. There’s a local bulletin board in the works, and we’re considering our options for connecting wi-fi access points.

We’re looking for websites to run on our local network! If you have an idea, email iffybooks@iffybooks.net or join us on December 16th.

Here’s a photo of our current setup:

A photo of the model internet at Iffy Books, with a monitor and a stack of hardware: a switch, a power strip with 6 switches, 2 desktop computers, and a Raspberry Pi in a case. There's a flyer with two smiling turtles and the words "Model Internet Club" on top of the computers, and the Iffy Books logo is superimposed at the bottom left.
