+Welcome to the Permacomputing wiki!
+
+
+
+What?
+-----
+
+Permacomputing is both a concept and a community of practice oriented around
+issues of resilience and regenerativity in computer and network technology
+inspired by permaculture.
+
+In a time where computing epitomizes industrial waste, permacomputing
+encourages the maximizing of hardware lifespans, minimizing energy use and
+focusing on the use of already available computational resources. We do this we
+want to find out how we can practice good relations with the Earth by learning
+from ecological systems to leverage and re-center existing technologies and
+practices. We are also interested in investigating what a permacomputing way of
+life could be, and what sort of transformative computational culture and
+aesthetics it could bring forward.
+
+The principles of permacomputing are: care for life, care for the chips,
+keep it small, hope for the best, prepare for the worst, keep it flexible,
+build on solid ground, amplify awareness, expose everything, respond to
+changes, everything has a place
+
+The properties of permacomputing works are:
+* accessible: well documented and adaptable to an individual's needs.
+* compatible: works on a variety of architectures.
+* efficient: uses as little resource (power, memory, etc) as possible,
+ minimization
+* flexible: modular, portable, adapts to various use-cases.
+* resilient: repairable, descent-friendly, offline-first and low-maintenance,
+ designed for disassembly, planned for longetivity, planned longevity,
+ lifespan maximization, designed for descent
+
+
+Why?
+----
+
+To practice an alternative to the characteristics of the mainstream computing world.
+
+The principles of the contemporary dominant computational culture are:
+disregard for life, disregard for the chips, more is better, assume limitless
+resources, keep it controlled, outsource the problem, amplify ignorance,
+ obfuscate everything, destroy communities, achieve monopoly
+
+The properties of such ICT industry are:
+* inaccessible:greenwashing, Californian ideology, pseudosimplicity, otherness
+* incompatible: vendor lock-in, proprietary
+* inefficient: bloat, maximalism, cryptocurrency, calculation factory,
+ cornucopianism
+* rigid: monoculture, siliconization
+* failing: silver bullet, planned obsolescence, wishcycling, software rot
+* extractivist: attention economy, capitalism, Big Tech, neoliberalism
+
+
+How?
+----
+
+How can I engage with permacomputing? Where to start, where to find practical
+information?
