> "If you’re an app developer reading this, can you tell me, off the top of your head, how your app behaves on a link with 40 kbps available bandwidth, 1,000 ms latency, occasional jitter of up to 2,000 ms, packet loss of 10%, and a complete 15-second connectivity dropout every few minutes?"

I love to hear about interesting accounts to follow for #FPGA, #riscv, #oshw, and #permacomputing. 💛

Online #permacomputing workshop announcement: On Wednesday 6 August, join me for the final "Permacomputing for #Wilderland" workshop on making smol websites!

https://remote.wilderland.ie/events/permacomputing-august-small-websites.html

"From considerations of content management tools, to content export, static site generators, external resources, lightweight media and hosting methods, we'll look at tools to analyse website content (using browser inspector tools), figure out what they require (using traceroute), how to build small websites, and ideas of how to reduce the weight of existing websites."

This is the last of a three-part workshop series, the first looked at small-scale power generation, the second considered how to repurpose portable devices (for web hosting and more) and this final one is about #smolweb. See you on the 6th! Please do

Heads up #PermaComputing Berlin friends. Our next Meet-Up is approaching:

Artist and Designer Chaline Bang ( @chalinebang ) will talk about her personal adventures and collective experiments in permacomputing. She is a member of the Rotterdam-based research group permacomputing evenings and will share how they learned to build servers out of obsolete smartphones using postmarketOS. The group conducted experiments into practical techniques and aesthetic approaches as well as organizing public events with outside researchers.

I've been invited to talk about #permacomputing at Critical Signals next month! I'll try to introduce some of the ideas that I find most interesting via practical examples. Save the date!

Once again having #PermaComputing thoughts and also feeling the frustration of just how much friction and sacrifice it would involve. I’m still hoping that if I think about it hard enough, I’ll find the right way in, and the right balance

Mir erscheint es erholsam ehrlich und realistisch, wenn mich eine Website wissen lässt, dass sie, genau wie alles auf der Welt, abhängig ist von Ressourcen. Das »LOW←TECH MAGAZINE« [1] macht das und informiert alle Online-Gäste:

@marieverdeil 👋 who else from the team is on the Fediverse?

After the Code of Conduct and the Mediation process, the Cooperative Development Guidelines now have a Governance Document that can be used by any Organization/Foundation/Collective/Community/Project that wants to have a governance based on participatory, equity and permacomputing/accessibility principles.

Its time for us to finally start building participatory digital commons, that are developed by the community and for the community and the Governance document is part 1 of doing just that. (Decision making and Structure will follow after this).

I am also excited to announce that @queerspark has also been listed as a collective that adopted pieces of the Cooperative Development Guidelines.

Most of my work is informed by field research on the use of everyday technologies under extraordinary circumstances. ... I am currently working on the development of anarchist technologies for the Rojava Revolution in North-East Syria (more info on my Telegram channel: @rojavatech).
