#slowcomputing — Public Fediverse posts

OpenBSD is S-L-O-W. At least, compared to other modern operating systems. But you know what? That's ok! Sometimes we need to slow down. Sometimes we can take the extra couple of minutes that a FFS2 file transfer takes and just relax and reflect on the day. We don't always have to be in such a damned hurry. I'm learning that I don't have to have the fastest, most powerful, energy-hungry computer to get shit done. I'll take security and correctness over face-melting speed.

Sure, I'm getting older and slowing down just as nature dictates, but I'm also learning to accept that as a good thing, not something to fear. It's okay to just go with the flow, and we will get there when we get there.

currently watching:

* one armhf Debian installer installing a system on an SD card
* one armhf Debian system calculating sha512sums of some files (why didn't I download the SHA256SUMS file?)

and doing the bind off row of the shawl mentioned in that other thread (total 400-odd stitches)

🐢🎉 Behold! A blog about building a CPU as slow as molasses in January! They’ve successfully made two programs work (cue applause): a pixelated petri dish and a psychedelic mess. But wait, there's more: 🎇The display explodes into random junk if you dare to send data faster than a snail's pace! Clearly, the future of computing is in very safe, albeit very slow, hands. 🐌💻

Ah, the classic quest for making #Rust run slower than a potato with a broken leg. 😂 Let's dive deep into the thrilling world of *deliberate inefficiency* and see if we can make a program slower than paint drying in a vacuum. Who knew Turing machines were the real speed demons? 🐢💨

Twice, again - local stories [palimpsest]. Running locally on a #raspberrypi slowly but surely [tiny fan whirring] building layered narratives #slowcomputing allowing time to engage more critically with generated outcomes. #localStories #twiceAgain #designresearch #researchthroughdesign

Hooray, the #HP #95lx #PDA takes only 40 minutes to render all the 4 html pages in my blog. And it runs with 600K of main memory!

Long live the #V20 at 5 MHz!

#SlowComputing #pda #retrocomputing

Imagining a #Mastodon client that was designed to be used once a day, or even once a week. How would it look?

I would imagine something more like a summary, showing which friends were online, what their most liked posts were, some kind of close friends feature to prioritise certain people, and maybe reposts in their own little area?

It's interesting to me how little innovation there is in interfaces and how much we're still uncritically copying the masters tools

quelques questions sur la trajectoire de l'informatique en rapport à son impact écologique dans les prochaines décennies, en quelques minutes sur la #rtbf ce matin ...

version audio de l'entretien ici https://videos.domainepublic.net/w/v4c2KjQoZkN2D31KDSvtUp

>> avec @erickm (+transcode ;) )

#informatique #libre #floss #permacomputing #slowcomputing #repair #ecologie #sobriete

donc demain matin on passe sur la Première de la #rtbf avec @erickm pour parler de ... #informatique (#libre #floss #permacomputing #slowcomputing #repair ... ) et #ecologie ... (ouille /o\ )
12 min ... ça va être court ... 😰 #sobriete

@ploum ... c'est du moins un chouette contribution au mouvement du #slowcomputing / #frugalcomputing / #solarpunk / #lowtech qui renait ... ;)

àmha si on avait un bon logiciel local simple et ne produisant pas du garbage, ça pousserait à plus de sites statiques par le commun des mortels
(on vous regarde LibreOffice)

> pas compris pq il fallait le "Managment System" en ligne dans CMS p.ex. mais un GUI c'est bien

@Dark_Chyper

LISP with GC in 436 bytes
https://justine.lol/sectorlisp2/

“SectorLISP now supports garbage collection. This is the first time that a high-level garbage collected programming language has been optimized to fit inside the 512-byte boot sector of a floppy disk.”

“This isn't a toy because SectorLISP can run the proof assistant that was included in LISP 1.5.”

@JohanneMontay àmha le problème est d'attendre que tous·tes jouent au même jeu : l'univers de la tech actuel est toxique, avec absence de considération pour l'éthique et le soin, et la promotion de comportements à risque ou malhonnêtes typiquement attribués à la masculinité dans l'éducation des garçons. Les jeunes filles ne veulent pas de ça (trad. éduquées aux comportements de soutien et de prudence)

My home feed on merveilles.town hasn't updated in over 14 hours. I'd say this qualifies as a feature, rather than a bug. 🙂 #slowcomputing

#introduction (updated)
Hi #Fediverse 👋
My name is Bryan.
I’m also a #data analyst (using #python and #R) to make sense of market research.
Sometimes I stream gameplay on #Twitch. Hobbies include #diyelectronics and #slowcomputing.
All links are in my about section if you’re interested!
