-It is good practice to design systems that are resilient and tolerant to interruptions and even if you do not personally believe such scenarios are imminent. This principle invites reflection: why prioritize resilience? Rather than being a defeatist mindset, it is a practical exercise. By imagining a world shaped by scarcity, you sharpen your creativity and adaptability. Acknowledging breakages happen and taking into account the possibility of collapse can inspire self-imposed limitations that lead to resourceful solutions—often uncovering societal scenarios previously unexplored, while also acknowledging that less privileged groups are already experiencing harm and damage.

What can YOU do?
+----------------
-With or without a computer: - Learn how to make, fix, and repurpose things yourself—and share equipment and skills within your community (e.g., participate in repair cafés). - Build local relationships: get to know your neighbors and their (technical) skills. 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).
