1 This page is a work-in-progress, it contains a list of projects or practices that we think are relevant to permacomputing, either because their author(s) made an explicit connection, or because we think they do connect somehow. Ultimately these projects offer a glimpse of a different computational culture, and are listed here to inspire you [[getting started]] with your own project or [[initiative|community]], or contribute to these existing efforts. For more general resources, there is also our [[library]]. 2 3 4 Research and community 5 ---------------------- 6 * [Low-tech Magazine](https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com) - articles on the potential of past and often forgotten technologies and how they can inform sustainable energy practices 7 * [Compudanzas](https://compudanzas.net) - explorations of joyful and human-scale computing 8 * [node9/node9.lab](http://www.node9.org) - research and experiments with living labs and bio shelters 9 * [Open Source Gardens](https://opensourcegardens.info) - connects people via Open Source (philosophy, seeds, software & hardware) in a horticultural and creative way 10 * [Small File Photo Festival](https://unthinking.photography/projects/smallfile) - mini festival encouraging and celebrating small size photography 11 * [100 rabbits](https://100r.co/) - artist collective that documents low-tech solutions with the hope of building a more resilient future. 12 13 14 Minimalist software 15 ------------------- 16 17 * [#Seppo](https://seppo.social) - publish short texts and links, and socialise in the Social Web (a.k.a. the Fediverse) 18 * [Awesome Small Web Publishing](https://codeberg.org/thgie/awesome-small-web-publishing) - a curated list of small web publishing tools and frameworks 19 * [[Cable]] - lightweight peer-to-peer chat protocol 20 * [[Cerca]] - lean web forum software 21 * [[Collapse OS]] - FORTH based OS and tools to preserve the ability to program microcontrollers through civilizational collapse 22 * [[Chifir]] - a system for software preservation 23 * [[Civboot]] - a seed from which can grow the essential technology of a civilization 24 * [Coalescent Computer](https://coalescent.computer) - simple and unenclosable social computing platform designed to replace the architecture and use cases of the World Wide Web 25 * [[DawnOS]] - operating system for SUBLEQ architecture 26 * [digicam.love](https://digicam.love) - promotes photography done with old digital cameras 27 * [Freewheeling Apps](http://akkartik.name/freewheeling-apps) - software that is easy to try out, easy to modify and easy to share 28 * [[Gemini]] - internet technology supporting an electronic library of interconnected text documents 29 * [IBNIZ](https://github.com/viznut/IBNIZ) - virtual machine designed for extremely compact low-level audiovisual programs 30 * [[L5]] - A lightweight Processing-like creative coding library designed for old and new computers 31 * [[Mu]] - a minimal-dependency hobbyist computing stack 32 * [PostmarketOS](https://postmarketos.org) - pre-configured Alpine Linux with own packages, that can be installed on smartphones 33 * [Screenless Office](http://screenl.es) - system for working with media and networks without using a pixel-based display 34 * [snac](https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2) - simple, minimalistic ActivityPub instance written in portable C 35 * [[Solar Protocol]] - a web platform hosted across a network of solar-powered servers 36 * [[Teliva]] - fork of Lua 5.1 to encourage end-user programming 37 * [The People's Permacomputer](https://sr.ht/~vidak/peoples-permacomputer) - project dedicated to building a 'permacomputer' which will survive societal collapse 38 * [[Uxn]] - personal computing stack based on a small virtual machine 39 * [Watt Wiser](https://github.com/wattwisegames/watt-wiser) - tools to measure and visualize energy use on desktop computers 40 * [What Remains](https://iodinedynamics.com/whatremains.html) - NES/Famicom game published on recycled game cartridges and EPROMs 41 42 43 Historical 44 ---------- 45 46 * [[PADI]] 47 * [[BBC Domesday Project]] 48 * [[CARDIAC]], by Bell labs
