Some eccentric ideas for keeping computers running for as long as we can https://100r.co/site/permacomputing_101.html

Alternative question:
How would you make a digital storage, communication, & computation system with just what's available in different eras?
Eg: 3000 yr ago? 2000 yr ago? 1000 yr ago? 500 yr ago? Etc…

What do we do when the #Internet gets switched off?

Local backups:
Wikipedia
OS Repos
Howto videos and books
#DuskOS and #CollapseOS
Mesh networks on a suburb/small town basis.

You're going to lose all your precious cloud shit.
Your smart phone will likely be bricked. Find your old flip phone.

I remember life before internet was everywhere, I still have my 26 volume encyclopedia in a plastic bag in the shed.

It's going to suck, but then societal collapse is never fun.

Today, after a terrible week, going throug some of the #DuskOS docs changed my mood for the better.  
Thanks Virgil!

🤔 Ah, Dusk OS, the revolutionary 32-bit throwback that plans to save us from our impending tech apocalypse, one #Forth line at a time. 🌅 Because what civilization really needs during a collapse is an "almost C compiler" to keep #UNIX running on your grandma's toaster. 🍞💻 Truly, the cutting edge of preparing for a future where modern computers are everywhere, yet nowhere.

Mañana voy a dar una charla sobre Collapse OS en la FLISoL Montevideo 2025 en el Espacio Colabora a las 11:35hs

Resumen:
Nuestra vida cotidiana está absolutamente permeada y atravesada por la tecnología y se sostiene gracias a que se satisfacen muchas condiciones que hoy damos por sentado, como la energía, recursos minerales, cadenas de suministros, etc. ¿Que pasaría si alguno de estos factores que determinan el devenir de la civilización moderna, se interrumpiera o fallara? Algunos autores plantean que la civilización moderna simplemente colapsaría. Collapse OS es un proyecto de un sistema operativo para dispositivos de 8-bits programado en FORTH con la intención de poder reiniciar la tecnología post-colapso, devolviendo la posibilidad de programar micro-controladores y otros dispositivos imprescindibles para la vida moderna, como un panel foto-voltaico, o el riego automático de una huerta. En esta charla presentamos el proyecto, sus argumentos y sus resultados, mirando con el ojo latinoamericano y viendo que preguntas interesantes nos plantea y nos deja, en el marco de nuestra relación con la tecnología.

Is anyone here aware of any interesting projects involving the use of #CollapseOS or #DuskOS? Personally, I see a lot of potential #RightToRepair use cases for embedded devices. #foss #askfedi
Spent a little time fiddling in #Tinkercad again this morning. Added the #RaspberryPi mount, some temporary mount points for the screen, and a "nameplate" to the design, printing a 33% to see if the supports will work or if they're a pain. Hopefully they work, it'll keep it a "one and done" print. Will probably skim Starting FORTH over toast while it prints. #DuskOS #LetsGoRetro
