"Permacomputing" by Ville-Matias Heikkilä (2020)

viznut.fi/texts-en/per...
"In the computer world, this phenomenon gets multiplied by itself: "progress" facilitates ever greater densities of data storage and digital logic, thus dramatically exploding the availability of computing resources. However, the abundance has also caused an equivalent explosion in wastefulness, which shows in things like mindblowingly ridiculous hardware requirements for even quite trivial tasks. At the same time, computers have been failing their utopian expectations. Instead of amplifying the users' intelligence, they rather amplify their stupidity. Instead of making it possible to scale down the resource requirements of the material world, they have instead become a major part of the problem. Instead of making the world more comprehensible, they rather add to its incomprehensibility. And they often even manage to become slower despite becoming faster. In both computing and agriculture, a major issue is that problems are too often "solved" by increasing controllability and resource use. Permaculture takes another way, advocating methods that "let nature do the work" and thus minimize the dependence on artificial energy input. Localness and decentralization are also major themes in the thought. What makes permacultural philosophy particularly appealing (to me) is that it does not advocate "going back in time" despite advocating a dramatic decrease in use of artificial energy. Instead, it trusts in human ingenunity in finding clever hacks for turning problems into solutions, competition into co-operation, waste into resources. Very much the same kind of creative thinking I appreciate in computer hacking."

Aaaaaaaaand we are in business! It was simple after all! Repaired the contact. Remember, kids, Psion Organiser II will survive the apocalypse as long as you have a 9V battery. #Permacomputing

It's always a great time to talk about minimal / lower-resource / "permacomputing" approaches!

Here's a site with a lot of library-related examples. It's not a direct answer to your question about streaming, but the approaches are certainly relevant to a lot of what is done in higher ed.

Yes thanks Ryan! A colleague of mine studies Permaculture so we sometimes discuss its relationship to Permacomputing.

A headwind we face of course is the enormous financial incentive to flow data through cloud servers so it can be sold to ad companies.

Culture Shocks and Capitalism

The two intersecting issues that apparently bother my identity the most are culture shocks (since I depend on the anticapitalist project of "Permacomputing" to survive) and capitalism (for the aforementioned reason). In select previous article(s) and on other […]

Three models of computing. Guess which one gets all the investment and attention:

- mainstream cloud computing: do more with more
- green computing: do more with less
- permacomputing: do less with less

OH la belle surprise chez les frangines de Tracks qui s'intéressent au jeu vidéo durable et au permacomputing <3

On évoquait déjà le sujet quand j'étais à la redac, trop content de voir que c'est désormais une réalité et une réussite !
