Someday, maybe soon, your favorite computer language will be as Linear B.
I have an old mac mini intel box that I can wipe and do whatevs with.
What can I do with it that is in line with #permacomputing / #neighborhoodfirst / #solarpunk
My skillset for coding/dev is firmly in the “your worst cowboy QA engineer nightmare” but I am willing to learn to do things better.
Current aspirations would be to set up one of those digital prepper systems that could provide weather, agriculture, knowledge system/archive.
Thoughts? pointers? and even “learn to set up a linux server at tutorial N” etc is welcome.
the three Rs: refuse, rollback, repair. If you can’t do those then your tools and systems own you and you are the butt part of the centaur.

@kidlightbulbs Thank you. This is the most sensible kind of arrangement for my musical scene. I appreciate that it doesn’t force hustle or give content creator vibes by pushing the artists into releasing tons of content that most fans don’t really want anyway.
My friend Bruno did a TEDx on tech that doesn't spy on you.

@neauoire I’m knee deep in academic reading right now and one thing I’m getting from it is that in our current neoliberal/late capitalism world the ability (or appearance of ability) to predict is the primary marker on intelligence. And so we get a raft of prepper activity based on predicting the end of the world and all of the attendant fantasies and self-granted social permissions.
What you are saying seems much more useful and in line with my fave futurism, LeGuin’s interpretation of Carrier Bag Theory.
The year before this concert Prince was not listed among the top 100 guitarists in a Rolling Stone list. At the rehearsal for this performance he didn’t play his solo, just strummed some chords, then at the performance went on stage burned it to the ground.

As an artist I have seen this in quite a few grants, not all, but many, and most of the large resource grants (ie the grants that pay for more than the cost of doing the grant report).

Gentle reminder that “strategic bombing” has never won a war.
I make it a point to not get involved in other peoples’ elections, I feel very strongly that local people should make decisions locally.
But I am rooting so hard (privately except for this one post) for a candidate in Clacton.
