eyesJust learned about this sick feminist hacker group that made a technique for creating PCBs out of locally harvested clay instead of plastic! Ofc the PCBs will have to be pretty simple, but ill bet you could totally make an arduino with this!Really want to test this out and do a workshop at Sandbox (our local hackerspace) if this works!<a href="https://feministhackerspaces.cargo.site/Clay-PCB-Tutorial" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://feministhackerspaces.cargo.site/Clay-PCB-Tutorial</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/solarpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#solarpunk</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#electronics</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/permacomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#permacomputing</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sandboxatl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sandboxatl</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hackerspace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hackerspace</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DIY</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sustainability</a>

Matthias AndraschHadere persönlich noch ein bisschen mit dem <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/GreenWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GreenWeb</a> Movement. Es ist richtig und wichtig - aber ich habe das Gefühl, dass es nicht genug politisch sondern weiterhin technisch fokussiert ist. Und es somit eine nette Nische bleiben wird, in der man über Software-Optimierungen und Messungen fachsimpelt - während die großen Tech-Player mit Hardware-Produktion und Rechenzentren über das Schicksal der weiteren Erhitzung entscheiden und aktuell bspw. ihre (eigentlich guten) Klimaziele wegen KI und Money Money ignorieren/komplett über den Haufen schmeißen. Aber ich glaube diese Challenge hat aktuell jedes Green-Movement?! 🤷🏻‍♂️ (I know, dass aktuell auch <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/permacomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#permacomputing</a> am Entstehen ist - war mir bisher noch zu abstrakt.

Petrus HilariusThe MIDI standard was introduced in 1983 and it's still in use today. Think about THAT when you design your next protocol. The MIDI standard allows digital musical instruments from different manufacturers to work together, doesn't matter if one is from 1985 and the other is from 2025. Think about THAT when someone tells you to force obsolescence in your product or to violate standards in the name of "innovation" as it were.Now granted, most big musical instrument companies have been sabotaging MIDI quite a bit in recent years. They've mostly done this by neglecting the requirement for comprehensive documentation of their MIDI implementations. That's terrible, but it's still possible to reverse engineer their shit. At a huge and completely unnecessary cost, but hey, that's what we get.Most importantly so far no company has dared to release a commercial digital instrument (that I know of) that explicitly does NOT support MIDI. (Although some seem to have only USB MIDI anymore?) Seems like a victory for standards and digital longevity to me.<a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/standards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#standards</a> <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/midi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#midi</a> <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/permacomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#permacomputing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/plannedobsolescence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#plannedobsolescence</a>

@haitchfiveBy the way, Khipus are fascinating. If you're so inclined, these New Scientist articles are excellent. Not sure much progress has been done since then, but I will dig deeper.<a href="https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg23931972-600-we-thought-the-incas-couldnt-write-these-knots-change-everything/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg23931972-600-we-thought-the-incas-couldnt-write-these-knots-change-everything/</a><a href="https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg18725135-000-inca-bean-counters-used-string-theory/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg18725135-000-inca-bean-counters-used-string-theory/</a><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/permacomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#permacomputing</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/khipus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#khipus</a>

@haitchfiveIn essence, you’d have a hybrid machine:<ul><li>Electronic control from retrocomputing hardware.</li><li>Symbolic storage in textile knots (khipus).</li><li>Cultural continuity with both Jacquard and pre-Columbian computing.</li></ul>Tried and true. At least the last 500 years or so.<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/permacomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#permacomputing</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rc2014" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rc2014</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/harlequin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#harlequin</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ZxSpectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ZxSpectrum</a>

@haitchfiveA Harlequin or RC2014-based Khipu-weaving symbolic persistence device would do three things at once:<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/permacomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#permacomputing</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rc2014" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rc2014</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/harlequin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#harlequin</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ZXSpectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ZXSpectrum</a>

@haitchfiveBig idea: a Harlequin or RC2014-based Khipu-weaving symbolic persistence device.Wouldn't it be nice if such theoretical device were possible? And it would reunite electronic and electro-mechanical computers with some of their tangential ancestry of the Jacquard loom in some ways.<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/permacomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#permacomputing</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/khipu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#khipu</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/khipus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#khipus</a>

Nina KalininaThere's a famous computer joke that goes along the lines of "we needed 4K of RAM to send people to the Moon, and now we need <e.g. 4GB to keep a grocery shopping list>".I think it is a fine illustration of the Jevons paradox in computing, and one of the "computing Murphy laws", known as the Parkinson's Law of Data - "Data expands to fill the space available for storage". I also think it's quite intriguing to highlight observations of a similar phenomenon related to compilers, especially in the context of <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/permacomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#permacomputing</a> Yesterday I read a book on a minimalist compiler written in the 00's, having a remarkable footprint of merely 424 KB of RAM.And then I thought about Turbo Pascal for CP/M that ran with 64KB of RAM. And then various compilers that worked on micros with 16KB or less. And then I read about things like the ALGO compiler, an ALGOL clone, for a first generation/vacuum tube computer Bendix G-15 (yes, the one Usagi Electric has): 2160 words of 29 bit RAM, no more than 370 op/s.
