Shufei 🧮<p>Dark ages are often quite durable. </p><p>The Latin West likes to forget that the Roman Empire didn’t fall with Rome, but staggered on like a golem for 1100 years under their fascistic new regime. The emperors were worshipped as semidivine figures anointed by God; you can still see the haloes on their ikons in Orthodox churches. </p><p>Under the brutish rulers’ absolute authority, the Christian empire long outlasted the old civic life of res-publica it burnt to the ground. The police state torched Saracen ships with Greek fire as eagerly as they did heretics and “pagan” academies. </p><p>No one dared to stop it. No one either in or against the novo ordem did, at least. The people had forgotten how, forgotten how to think beyond the hegemonic order of the Abrahamic world-state. Yet somehow some canny archives survived in monastery back rooms, mouldering on wormy shelves, copied as samizdat by the rare contrarian or cosmopolitan scribe.</p><p>Our archives must likewise be built to last for generations, to ensure learning endures such epochs. It goes without saying so far we are very unprepared.</p><p><a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>permaculture</span></a> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/permacomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>permacomputing</span></a></p>

May:</p><p>## DITHERING HEIGHTS ##</p><p>Image dithering was once a clever trick for digital imaging on limited hardware in the 1980s. It largely faded from memory as higher power graphic hardware become more ubiquitous. But recently, among those of us interested in a smaller more efficient web, it is having a bit of a renaissance. However, it's not without its critics. This PMC Berlin session will demonstrate and discuss techniques and styles for making images as small as possible. Florian Stolzenhain will bring his ancient Mac and show us some possibilities. We will have a general discussion of limited-palette aesthetics, dirt-style compression and dithering discontents.</p><p><a href="https://berlin.permacomputing.net/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">berlin.permacomputing.net/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>at <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://autonomous.zone/@offline" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>offline</span></a></span></p>

Jeff C<p>Are there any good resources or research on long-lived components? Most of the <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/permacomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>permacomputing</span></a> articles I've seen have been somewhat high-level. For example, I didn't see much discussion of ceramic capacitor aging or the lifetimes of electrolytics. If I wanted to build a device that would run for 200+ years, is there a good source to guide me around the pitfalls?</p>

Ed Summers<p>To be fair, Simpson doesn't talk about computation at all (well ok, I'm just 3/4 done). So maybe I'm just grasping at straws here, and trying to justify what I do for a living. But her ideas help me recognize that this idea of <a href="https://social.coop/tags/permacomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>permacomputing</span></a> isn't so much about computing after cataclysm (à la CollapseOS) as it is reconnecting with a longer arc of computation that exceeds capitalism and colonialism, and isn't exclusive to the West.</p>
Ed Summers<p>While reading Leanne Betasamosake Simpson's Theory of Water I'm coming to see that part of the reason why the <a href="https://social.coop/tags/permacomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>permacomputing</span></a> community seems so compelling to me is that it offers a way of practicing computing outside of capitalism and colonialism. That like water (Nibi), the logos of computation is fundamental to what it means to be human. I guess I'm thinking here with Ron Eglash, Arturo Escobar, Lisa Nakamura, and (honestly) a bit of Earl Fontainelle.</p><p><a href="https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2533-theory-of-water" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">haymarketbooks.org/books/2533-</span><span class="invisible">theory-of-water</span></a></p>
