Permacomputing

My latest article on trying to come up with a strategic, lightweight, highly portable, cross-platform, #C and #C++ #GUI framework that works well on a number of operating systems: https://lmemsm.dreamwidth.org/33030.html

@permacomputing@slrpnk.net @permacomputing@lemmy.sdf.org I'm trying to connect with other people who might be interested in building all the programs they use on their operating systems from source code (sort of like a Linux From Scratch but the OS doesn't necessarily have to be Linux). I'm interested in C/C++ programs and reproducible builds. Do you know of any good ways to connect with others who have similar interests? #permacomputing #retrocomputing

I'd like your expert advice. My old smartphone is about to kick the bucket, and I can't wait to finally let go of the tiny depression rectangle for ever. How can I keep using OTP and 2FA services when on a dumb phone? I expect that with time I will manage to limit the use of services that require this kind of stuff, but can't at the moment. I don't use my smartphone for much, so I don't expect to run into much trouble, but is there anything else I might be forgetting apart from authentication issues? I'll speak to my bank to see what they offer besides 2FA and app - I'm sure they have something since it's a bank for farmers and old rural folk.

Btw I have been enjoying my collapse lately, as so much over-engineered stuff just starts failing and encourages a retreat to more simple solutions. I'll do my part by ditching the surveillance box.

Gemini the HTTP alternative, not the AI crap.

If you bought your computer after 2010, there's most likely no reason to throw it out. By just installing an up-to-date Linux operating system you can keep using it for years to come.

The cheapest and most environmentally-friendly computer is the one you already own.

ed was based on using the teletype – the “persistent display” was the paper itself

What I really love is that when the teletype has finished printing off his little diary, Rex can simply tear it off and walk away, keeping it in his pocket, put on his wall. It’s produced a little physical artifact for him to carry around.

Hi I'm have a 20 year old laptop and every time I turn it on it has reset the clock and date to 2001 or whatever and I have to set it again before I can do anything. I haven't used it that often in recent years. Is there some part i could replace to get this working.

Also in general, is there other maintenance I should do to keep it working?

Hi everyone, I'm Valmond and I'm working on a decentralised sharing network based on reciprocity.

It's working but I haven't found a place where to showcase it/find followers/interested people. Would a decentralised, secure, FOSS, sharing system ; you share what ever you want with whom you want by sharing back, well would that kind of idea have a place here?

Cheers

Valmond

This is essentially a glorified article about not needing the latest and greatest, and limiting shortcomings with the right combinations of used components and software. Nothing groundbreaking, but hopefully represents a slowly shifting zeitgeist into saving energy and carbon emissions. The Researchers estimate their methods would reduce global emissions by 0.2%.

Although I don't know that tailscale is necessarily a good example of permacomputing, this article touches on some interesting ideas about the nature of tech centralisation.
