I've been pondering the question 'Should I get into RC2014' lately. I'm not sure why, I initially dismissed the idea as 'nah, that's not proper retro computing'. And it isn't, not really. But it does appeal as a permacomputing project, so I pulled the trigger and ordered a kit. I'm looking forward to exploring CP/M on it, an OS I've never used before but have wanted to use for years now.

There was some discussion on comp.os.cpm about adding an LCD and keyboard to it, which I found interesting in terms of permacomputing. Would make for a nice low-power computing platform. This is going to be fun!

Ah, the #permacomputing manifesto: because who wouldn't want to combine the excitement of sustainable farming ethics with the electrifying world of digital minimalism? 🌱💻 Apparently, saving the planet now involves transforming your laptop into a virtuous eco-warrior, armed with 10 thrilling principles. How innovative! 🙄

With Amazon killing off all the old kindles, they’re super-cheap right now. And it turns out that jailbreaking is a minor faff, but not too difficult, really. This one was £10 and is going to somebody who was pondering getting an expensive eink ebook reader just a couple of weeks ago. :D

Children excitedly whisper of old* Granny Segfault's arrival, knowing she'll have likely have a new 8-bit game for them to play, and of course to give scritches to her adorable traveling companion MingMing if they dare (rumors abound that it's actually her familiar and not a real cat).

*not that old, but the years of the AI-FOSS Wars did take their toll

Installing compost.cc at Das Lot in Vienna! The entire installation requires about 130 W (six laptops, two tablets, and a router). The opening is tomorrow at 7:00 pm.

If you are around, check out the exhibition. Even better, join us for the Bring-Your-Device workshop on Saturday, May 9, at 3:00 pm.

Is it just some sort of nostalgia-type bias for The Old Ways, or is there something meaningful at the core of my preference for old, less complex/capable computer components? Like, why do I so strongly reject FPGA-based systems? Are they "cheating"? Is there something wrong with them? Or am I just blinded?

Thoughts?

Where do you see yourself in five years?

Ideally, riding my bicycle drawn electronics repair cart full of ancient hardware chips, from before the AI-FOSS Wars. I help communities repair their tech in exchange for a room and meal at the local inn, swapping stories and learning from one another.
