I am a newcomer to the computing world and an aspiring programmer
I've been following the rewriting systems paradigm for quite some time, but @wryl wonderful talk taught me the basics, I tried to use modal by following @neauoire modal article, it is so rewarding.
It surely can build intuition overtime.
So Thank you to both of you and also @capital, @sakiamu
Also, Is there community elsewhere than discord that I can join?

What is a good place to start reading about permacomputing?

$reasons. It think it approachs critical "parity" with the Rust page 🙃 I'd be interested in feedback and suggestions for edits are most welcome 🙏 I'm by no means an expert on all this backwards compatibility stuff with older C versions and long-term portability...
Hi fellow permacomputer!
If you're in #berlin next Sunday and interested in sustainable computing, you should come to the #permacomputing meetup! We're meeting on 11 August at 19:00 at @offline. We'll have a chat about https://compost.party, a weird web server that I built from scraps that were lying around and that's running completely on solar power. Take that AI data centers! Please join us for an informal discussion of ideas and real-world practices around Permacomputing. Non-nerd-identified, newbies and perma-curious are especially welcome!
Bring food and snacks to share if you want, see you there!

Lots of thanks to @jameswallbank for insights into the motivations and strategies at the heart of the Redundant Technology Initiative ❤️ #permacomputing #lowtech #SmallWeb #sustainability #tech
The #Berlin #Permacomputing meetup is tonight at 19:00!
@mntmn will tell us the story of building up hardware and software stacks from scratch with the goal of making a computer designed for longevity, flexibility and openness. There will be hands-on demonstrations and a super-sweet keyboard.
We want to expand our community. Non-nerd-identified, newbies and perma-curious are especially welcome!

i cannot get over how good this piece of writing by @neauoire is. this is (i think) the first time i've been brought to tears while reading about technology

Watt-Wise Game Jam started yesterday, and the submission deadline will be on April 22nd.
Interestingly, the introductory text has been written from the point of view that the entire frame would be recalculated on every screen refresh. This is actually an approach that sometimes annoys me a lot. Especially in turn-based games that waste CPU cycles even when waiting or paused.

"Build delightful games that use as little energy per second as possible in order to make games and computing more sustainable, and to discover new directions for software aesthetics. [...] We are developing both hardware and software estimation techniques for measuring energy consumption. Participants can use our open source power estimation tooling while developing their games to optimize for using less power. "

Computing Within Limits 2023
My goal in this article is to inform technical communities of the research presented at the LIMITS conference, and to invite those who work at the intersection of sustainable technology and climate justice to join RIPE and the IETF.RIPE Labs
Hey we're a small group who put together a FREE programme of presentations around low-tech, permacomputing, collective tech practices, extraction, and ewaste.
Saturday 2 December, Amsterdam
https://whatis.permacomputing.net
Come and join us, listen to talks, ask questions, hang around and plot together about pmc and related practices.

FOMO alert: nope it's not streamed and probably won't be recorded, *but* surely you know a lot of cool people around you doing connected things, 
what about you try to organise something local as well? See https://permacomputing.net/getting_started/

Practising Permacomputing: Call for workshop participants
"This autumn is dedicated to Practising Permacomputing; a concept and a nascent community of practice-oriented around issues of resilience and regenerativity in computer and network technology derived, among others, from permaculture principles. As part of this community, space is offered to makers and thinkers in digital culture (and other connected areas) to put the fundamentals and applications of #permacomputing into practice through a series of workshops, a meetup, and a concluding day of public presentations with guests. Join us to explore permacomputing futures!"

One thing that stood out to me at #ComputingWithinLimits yesterday was that the "Back to the Trees" talk seemed to (accidentally?) deeply engage with the #Permacomputing topic, without mentioning it at all.
https://limits.pubpub.org/pub/sapyi15v/release/1
When our little Malmö hub discussed PC we got stuck on how creating hardware is an inherently destructive process, and using what already exists is great, but not the same as the regenerative abundance that permaculture aims for. We didn't see a way out of that

Just remembered that I've got a linkhut account (best/closest thing since/to del.icio.us!) and have collected a list of further reading materials for the 3-day "Limits-aware creative computing" workshop I started teaching earlier this week. More will be added over coming days. Sharing here for others interested:

I find it awesome but we are not enough there. I’m also sometime looking for alternatives to the hackernews-venture-capitalist vibe.

Aussi, aucune mention des pratiquants *actuels* de la sobriété numérique. Une simple recherche de mots clefs comme #smalltech #permacomputing #gemini donne une tonne de résultats ignorés par ce manifeste.

#permacomputing
Will first work on one related to the topic of productivity, for the #permacomputing Sunday pres at zinecamp, and will go through the others slowly but surely afterwards. Will also update if anyone adds to the thread!
had to 🥲 quite a few times
Thanks so much everyone! Also got a few extras via other channels.
Basically there is now enough for two bingo cards: one for people having to rely on crappy everyday computer tech but not necessarily aware of specific software/hardware jargon and practices, and one for those who are more familiar with their inner workings.
We can use the first bingo, as planned, as a device to start discussions around non obvious concepts/patterns, and we can use the second one for group therapies :thinknyan:
We will put the two on the #permacomputing wiki and in this thread.
If you have more, do not hesitate to keep adding, we will make more grids or make room for more entries if needed!
For a short #permacomputing talk at zinecamp this sunday in Rotterdam/NL, we will be doing a small bingo about all the everyday situations created by inaccessible, incompatible, inefficient, rigid, failing, extractivist, environmentally disastrous crappy computer tech.
We do that to address several topics to a broader audience who may not be familiar with notions of vendor lock-in, proprietary standards, software bloat, cornucopianism, siliconization, planned obsolescence, software rot, maximalism, etc, and *yet* are suffering, like everyone else, from all this stuff on a daily basis.
Do you have ideas for silly situations and painful feels? We will make a final version this coming Saturday as well as credit contributors, and point to the post's URL. Of course we will also post the final bingo board here as well 😀
(and on the permacomputing wiki of course https://permacomputing.net)
Thanks!
:boost_requested: boosts are very very very much appreciated!
