@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!)

I recently finished reading At Work in the Ruins and liked the four strategies for living and working that were shared near the end. They reminded me quite a bit of the #permacomputing project:

So how many of us are taking advantage of the Win10 End of Life?

How many Linux Install Parties are you holding in your town?

"Did Windows 10 just notify you to pay and update?

Want to update your computer to a system that doesnt spy on you, is ad free, is secure, and doesn't cost anything?

Meet us at the library this Saturday from 10am to 3pm!

We'll install Linux on your laptop for free! (We'll even make it "dual boot" so you can keep your old system just in case!). Please remember to back up your documents and pictures on a thumb drive beforehand!

We'll have demo laptops so you can play with Linux and just check it out as well!)

Jeremy, fixing electronic devices with shitty sticky rubber surfaces on since 2010, from acetone to straight-up disassembly \o/

(regarding aesthetics, please hold, we will take your call)

(probably the third device that's getting a second life after a dedicated treatment for this very annoying and very recurrent problem)

@stefano What exactly are you trying to do when you refer to 'old tech'? Is it for sustainability, saving resources or more like the #permacomputing culture, which most of the time wants to explore what would be possible?

My motiviation is mostly 'sustainablity', e.g. using old cheap routers from ebay as #OpenWRT-Devices serving DNS, DHCP. BUT ONLY when they don't consume a lot of energy.

This is a stop sign for me: Running old hardware that consumes 3 times more electricity while being 10 times less powerful than a modern device.
