The document discusses the concept of 'digital metabolism' and its implications in human and digital interactions, emphasizing the need for access to personal data from platforms like Google and Facebook. It outlines a methodology to collect and analyze such data using TCPFlow for network analysis and tools like MeshLab for 3D modeling from parsed information. Additionally, the document reflects on the broader implications of data ownership and communication in digital spaces.

- 6. collecting data problem 1: how can we access information that approximates what digital services like google and facebook know about us? data on these platforms is proprietary and access to information about yourself is highly limited. solution: capture data locally as it passes from your computer to remote services.
- 7. tcpflow network analysis tool that captures the content and metadata associated with every networking call. like the NSA, we favored a collect it all approach contents of webpages, emails, images, etc are all collected into the designated folder.
- 8. parsing the information problem 2: how do we turn all of this information into something visually meaningful? some of this information is legible, while some is encrypted. just looking at content will be very limited. solution: utilize metadata of networking connections simply because thats easiest to work with and it remains unencrypted.

- 22. A project home page concretizes an abstract homesteading in the space of possible programs by expressing it as `home' territory in the more spatially-organized realm of the World Wide Web. - Eric Steven Raymond, Homesteading the Noosphere (2000)
- 23. Manifest Data intervenes on a much more quotidian and non-conscious type of homesteading: a second-order homesteading of the data created during the first-order activity.
- 24. By giving users access to their platforms, Facebook and Twitter provide access to a particular means of communication whose use serves their own profit interests (89). - Christian Fuchs, Digital Labor and Karl Marx (2014)
