Our community learning workshops are fun, affordable (we have sliding scale available), in a beautiful orchard setting.
Many folks end up making new, local, like-minded friends through participating in our various workshops at Welland 😊

This young POC man attended his first workshop at Welland & enjoyed it. He was telling me that he's planning to grow his small apple tree in a large pot, on his apartment balcony 🙂 We helped him select a dwarf apple variety to graft for his small space needs.

I just met these four friendly folks at UVIC Campus Community Garden Spring Market, on Friday 🙂
It was nice to see all four of them again - all enjoying the workshop, today.

Yesterday I led a half-day workshop for a group of high school students. The content was purely practical: a lot of labs and hands-on exercises and challenges about computer networks, #networktrafficanalysis and #cybersecurity.

Girls made their own Ethernet cables to connect to our lab network. Then they analyzed common network protocols and their privacy issues and how the browser settings can affect the amount of sensitive information in the network traffic.

Pro tip: together with HTTPS-Only Mode in all windows, also enable DNS over HTTPS using Increased Protection or Max Protection.
Pro tip 2: even with those hardened settings, it is often possible to see which websites the user visits, because of TLS SNI or TLS Certificates

After that, the girls had the opportunity to try CTF-like activity in the lab network full of old #MikroTik and #Ubiquiti devices and virtual machines with various services exposed.

A little bit off-topic: This was the first workshop I completely led using my old #ThinkPad with #FreeBSD

These are 2 of the rad men who showed up today. Almost all of our workshops have a huge females over males attendees ratio - even smaller margins for people who don't use any gender markers. Our community orchard supervisor is a proud & out trans person. Our #LifecyclesProjectSociety is almost fully staffed by #queers. In fact, I'm one of a very tiny portion of non-queers - we are the minority!

I love working with Ruby 😀
She's our newest young intern, working as an orchard assistant. Ruby is also neurodivergent on the spectrum & is disabled too - we understand each other very well & work well together✌️
We met a year ago, at past volunteer work parties. I started working for LifeCycles, in August. My contract runs til end of March.
