Collaborate, exchange, and build for mutual resilience. - Favor local storage (personal file collections, offline archives) rather than depending solely on online content services. - -When creating and maintaining software, digital tools or infrastructure: - Build systems that are resilient to intermittent energy supply and network connectivity. - Distributed computing approaches could offer greater resilience. However, their overall environmental footprint needs careful evaluation—distributed systems may be robust but not always energy-efficient. - Take inspiration from operating systems that can be installed on old or salvaged hardware, enabling continued computation even under conditions of technological scarcity. (lightweight Linux distributions, Collapse OS, Rockbox, etc). - -Principle in action & examples - For more ideas and interesting articles see: Low-tech Magazine (hyperlink) - Join or start a local repair cafe, pmc meetup, or neighbourhood tool swap.
