The principles of permacomputing are:
* Care for life

* Keep it small
* Hope for the best, prepare for the worst
* Keep it flexible
* Build on solid ground
* Amplify awareness
* Expose everything
* Respond to changes

I was thinking of buying a new-to-me #Thinkpad next month, but I think what I'll do instead is try to spruce up my #PinebookPro:
I need to look up some videos on applying threadlocker to screws. It's much looser stuff than the typical locktite and it tends to make a mess.
I'm debating just dribbling locktite (regular CA) on top of the screws as well to try to make them a little more permanent. Not a great solution, but the thing just loves to fall apart.
It's always best to try to #reuse! <3
@doskel you're basically doing #permacomputing, you should be proud :3 /j

This is such a neat idea: a Belgian company is upcycling old smartphone motherboards (#Fairphone 2) into tiny embedded computers https://liliputing.com/this-pocket-sized-pc-is-made-from-an-old-smartphone-motherboard/ #upcycling #permacomputing

Hi @w0bb1t,
data needs molding / decay. Nature does, let's adopt. #permacomputing
Edit: Embrace & foster bit rot.
Just posted my first post ever on a forum 
: [discuss] permapublishing
https://bbs.permacomputing.net/thread/7/%5bdiscuss%5d-permapublishing-1/
The post is actually not really "mine", it emerged from a collective interest to think about #permacomputing in #FLOSS #publishing practices, which we discussed during the @prepostprint gathering in Paris today and yesterday.
![[discuss] permapublishing
We gathered in Paris over the last two days with peers from the PrePostPrint network where we revived the conversation around permapublishing that started last September in Strasbourg: what can it be?
First, we took an hour on Friday to explore what was discussed in Strasbourg and what we are thinking about when we use the word permapublishing. We talked about printing infrastructure, choosing your dependencies and layout software, and it was pretty clear that one hour was not enough to put our teeth deeper into this question. We gathered again today, to continue the conversation, which resulted in a lot of notes and an even stronger wish to continue this conversation. We decided to gather here on this brand new forum 📫 to continue this conversation.
So voila, here we are :).
We talked about splitting the conversation into multiple parts, but when thinking about it in the train home again it is starting to make less sense to do that already now. One proposal that we ended our conversation earlier today with is to look at different books and unpack their production process, as a way to explore the complexity of different layers in book making practices in which you often need to make compromises to make sure something is printed in the end. There are just so many parameters that play a role when making choices about how a book is made, from which software, which paper, which ink, which printer, which distribution system, etc!

With youtube appearing to join in the hate-speech-for-trans-people bandwagon https://www.usermag.co/p/youtube-removes-gender-identity-from , I'm thinking how we can make community video hosting easier. Peertube is great, but instances are much more limited, I assume due to file size.
What if there was an option for hosts to limit videos to 2bit, like the amazing #LowTechMagazine ? (image from them below) 50x reduced file size seems doable, hopefully would encourage a lot more hosts

we printed the #permacomputing wiki last weekend at @varia based on the work of @sandu and @kattrali

Hola. Como sabéis estoy apunto de terminar mi libro (voz de Paco Umbral) sobre Permacomputación y minimalismo digital. En el capítulo de sobre Solarpunk, en vez de explicar lo que es, he hecho un relato de solarpunk para que se entienda la idea. ¿Si os gusta la ciencia-ficción y la literatura podríais echarle un ojo? Os lo agradecería muchísimo: https://maxxcan.flounder.online/relatos/permacomputacion/solar-punk.gmi y gemini://maxxcan.flounder.online/relatos/permacomputacion/solar-punk.gmi #solarpunk #permacomputing
One aspect that I like of the programming language I use daily is its robustness, it'd be hard for it to become unrecoverable.
The language itself relies on a runtime that can be emulated in about 150 lines in most languages(including its own language), and a 2300 bytes self-hosted assembler. There is a bootstrapping toolchain that allows me to recover an assembler from a hex dump on an operating system without `cat`, or `xxd`, or even with an implementation of the runtime without a file system.
I've added a few notes on how it all works:

OO yay the https://slrpnk.net/c/permacomputing@slrpnk.net community is being highlighted this month on the https://slrpnk.net/ Lemmy! #Permacomputing fans go post your fave projects there so they can see what it's all about!
I just learned about #permacomputing and this motivates me to check out linux soon – if time permits.
A thought-provoking read courtesy of @tlhunter :
"What might a general purpose computing machine look like, one that's designed to last over a hundred years, one that would even be useful in some sort of post apocalyptic environment?"

Following links led me to the concept of "permacomputing" which seems like a whole new rabbit hole of discovery. :-)
/Principles of permacomputing/
Made me think of data-AI and ecofeminism.

On "permacomputing"
Permacomputing is both a concept and a community of practice oriented around issues of resilience and regenerativity in computer and network technology inspired by permaculture. ପໄଓ☾☼✫ -☆:*´
There are huge environmental and societal issues in today's computing, and permacomputing specifically wants to challenge them in the same way as permaculture has challenged industrial agriculture. With that said, permacomputing is an anti-capitalist political project. It is driven by several strands of anarchism, decoloniality, intersectional feminism, post-marxism, degrowth, ecologism.
