During this xpub Special Issue i am inviting a bunch of cool people from different scenes of alternative tech practices and resistances, because well we can't gossip in a closed group, stories translated from a situatedness to another. The first gossiping guest was , from feminist server, for a session titled Serving Gossips.

We discussed using the terminal and communal servers. We explored collective terminal session with Tmux. It allows to have live shared remote login sessions as the same user. It is a very gossipy tool since every single input is shared between the people attached to a session, not differenciating legit input from mistakes, which can be used just to chat. It is a nice way to do inclusive pedagogy in the terminal since you can witness (and interact) with how something is done on a server. We said that if SSH is like astral projection, Tmux is like merging our souls to become a collective (slightly demonic) amalgation.

Kaa worked on a tool temporary titled tmux2web2print that generate HTML fanzines out of a Tmux session (and serves them). A way to have on-the-go mini subjective documentation of What is our server gossiping about? The fanzines read like a play and can be stylised in CSS then printed :)
