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). - -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. +[[do you want to know more|hope for the best prepare for the worst]] ---
