Just managed to host a website on my dad's old phone 😅 (not sure how long it will last online) : https://antoine-perorative-noticeably.ngrok-free.dev/

I've done it following @marieverdeil and Rein van der Woerd's tutorial. I don't know about coding, servers or even smartphones, anyone could give it a try, they've done a great job with the guide

Hi ! we are a #wiki / #library / #catalogue for arts and studies , here to spread the word about recent and historical publications and projects in #experimentalart #permacomputing #lowtech #climateaction #decoloniality #technofeminisms #capitalocene #criticaltheory #shadowlibraries #communityservers #communityradio #everydaytechnology #libreculture #floss #diwo #care #artistpublishing #soundart #experimentalfilm #arthistory #weird etc.. Thank you @lurk for hosting us on #mastodon and everyone in the #fediverse for believing in it and making it such a welcoming space #introduction

Considering this format is used to encode & archive most of modern research/knowledge/information, I also see this inherent complexity as a gigantic threat in terms of #PermaComputing, #CollapseComputing, #FrugalComputing. I think there's a need for something like https://qoiformat.org/, i.e. simplifying, rethinking and omitting some of the features in PDF in lieu of increased simplicity, longevity & usability in lower compute resource environments/futures...

Its party time because I have got my first domain, I will soon change the whole structure of my forest, I have so many things to share 😊

@aj @spacelizard - I'm going to second AJ. Go for refurb. Most anything will run Linux these days. I'm partial to used Dells, myself. But pick what you like.

Refurb doesnt put money into the pockets of techbros. Used machines are more sustainable than anything new, even newly built "repairable" machines - as no extra or new energy and parts are expended to make it.

For parts, you'd just buy another used model of the same type and frankenstein it. So go for something popular and common if you like.

Moore's Law basically no longer applies to laptops in any meaningful way. So laptops in the last five years (or longer) are still really great with modern linux os's.

Yay, #permacomputing!

A truly wonderful overview of the cherished Permacomputing 101 talk given at Critical Signals, by @neauoire in August:

Alright! Our town has our first Linux Install Party scheduled for next Saturday!

Plenty of volunteers to help out. We got a free meeting room at the library. We're installing Linux Mint as a default (but will be able to install other distros). We're putting together demo laptops this week.

Going to use this as a "first event" to iron out how to do it. Will set up to do it on a more consistent basis next year. May even make it part of the repair cafe and an official library event moving forward.

I'll let y'all know how it goes!!!

@cwebber's keynote wraps up this workshop I am organizing in Amsterdam on Nov 26-27:

https://nias.knaw.nl/events/code-as-critique/

The workshop brings together practitioner-researchers working on #permacomputing, #ServerCollectives, and #NetworksOfConsent to learn from one another and reflect on transformations of technical practice.

There are still a few spots available. Contact me if you'd like an invitation.

Someone installed writerdeckOS onto a 32bit Sony Vaio P netbook!!!

Yay putting new life into old tech!

@tinker MX-Linux supports 32-bit.

Others in this thread have mentioned Alpine, OpenSUSE, and Slackware. Those are all good choices, although Alpine is probably the best choice for #permacomputing .

Linux Question... (I welcome all responses and advice):

Debian 13.x Trixie (and beyond presumably) no longer supports 32bit architectures (no x86 / i386 etc).

While Debian Bookworm LTS does and is still supported for now, are there any other distros that maintain a supported 32bit version of linux?

(I'm developing and maintaining OS's that run on 32bit CPUs. Yay permacomputing!)
