L5 is a creative coding library in the family of Processing languages, implemented in Lua with LÖVE. It attempts to reckon seriously with principles of permacomputing, including design and documentation for offline use, suitability for older hardware, design for longevity, and exposing the underlying infrastructure. After a brief presentation and discussion of the project, we'll discuss where it aligns and where it strays from permacomputing.

Visicalc... in BASIC??

there is also _another_ text editor here:

Watch me live code Headless Hydra on a 2016 Samsung phone! It is meta on more levels than you care to count (wait for it).

some interesting microcontrollers and peripherals. each of these are affordable and could support a productive and engaging computing environment.

Back to the future - Interacting with threadiverse communities through Usenet / NNTP

A few months ago I threw this question out into the void - “what if you could access the fediverse through your Usenet reader??” and got almost no response. Still, the idea had lodged in my brain and wouldn’t go away so this weekend I caved in and built the thing. Hat tip to the author of the excellent nntpserver package that did all the hard stuff.

I look forward to seeing someone’s screenshots of fediverse posts on a Commodore 64, some day.

This will be released as a part of PieFed 1.7, coming soon.

Ok! Initial build script for writerdeckOS v2.0 is done.

I even coded a menu to allow for easy change of default word processor / text editor.

The Terminal Edition defaults to using wordgrinder, but the follow word processors and text editors are loaded into the system and its easy to swap over to them:

- WordGrinder
- Tilde
- Word Perfect
- Joe
- Emacs
- Vi / Vim
- Nano
- Micro

And it's easy to install and run a custom app (text editor or otherwise!).

Also, I added nmtui - a Terminal User Interface for Network Manager to connect to the internet if needed (eg to install a new app or to configure synced cloud folders).

I need to run a couple more QA tests for this and then I'll start putting together the installation media. After testing that on a couple of laptops, I'll push it out officially!
