I looked at advanced internet searching with my undergrad students using https://kit.exposingtheinvisible.org/en/how/google-dorking.html

They were really scared by the "Safety first" warnings on that page. I'm trying to figure out if it's because they don't tend to think this way about the internet -- namely that they can be tracked while typing in search terms -- or whether there's actually something scary about advanced searching and what you might find that way.

... or whether it's just the word "dorking"

I've been looking at a lot of decentralization projects for the web (Safe Network, Solid, and so forth) and trying to figure out what a Learning Management System would look like on these platforms. There are folks working on decentralized versions of the big tech platforms, but any one out there working in the edtech space?

Get the kids on the decentralized web and they won't want to go back to big brother watching them?

Hi everyone. I'm Allen.

I'm a professor in digital humanities, a recovering Classicist (where I nerd-ed out in ancient Greek literature), and a Linux hobbyist I suppose.

I'm particularly interested in the intersections of FOSS, privacy, edtech, and k-12 and higher ed.

I do a mix of teaching and work in data science, web development, literature, history, and culture. Egypt in the morning; R in the afternoon. I also tinker with retrotech and play saxophone from time to time.
