Small Web of the Day

Permacomputing is a concept near and dear to my heart. To understand what it is, let's take a look at our current computopolitical landscape: a handful of megacorporations own and operate almost all of the accessible internet and computation. If one of them stumbles in uptime, or does something ethically awful, goes bankrupt, or just decides to monopolize a whole computing concept, where do you go? If your stuff breaks, do you replace it, or is it robust enough to repair? How do we get to a more ethical, resilient digital life?

The idea behind permacomputing is to grow a whole ecosystem of computational concepts designed from the ground up to be open, accessible, repairable, resilient, and beyond socially responsible to the socially developmental. That means planning ahead for climate disaster, creating platforms that you can repair with simple tools or keystrokes, and minimize resource use. We need this more than you can know.

For the #Linux #kernel developers among you:

Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst[1] now mentions how to tag commits you do *not* want to see backported to stable/longterm series without an explicit request.[2]

Ohh, and it now mentions the difference between stable@kernel.org and stable@vger.kernel.org, too.[3]

We are finally going to upgrade our #ejabberd running on conversations.im, tomorrow, Saturday May 25th.

Unfortunately we won’t be able to do this without some down times throughout the day.

You can visit https://status.conversations.im/ for a simple up/down check or follow this thread for the occasional status update / progress report.

Use your Nintendo Wii Nunchuk as a USB controller with ANAVI Handle open-source hardware adapter (Crowdfunding)

Leon ANAVI has launched another open-source hardware project with the ANAVI Handle that transforms the Nintendo Wii Nunchuck into a USB controller meaning the Wii controller can now be used with any common hardware such as computers, laptops, sing…

My code just made the compiler cry, and I don't even know why! 😭😂 #codinglife #oops

Snapdragon has embraced Linux, in a big way.

Code so bad it cries,

Compiler weeps in despair,

Debug, drink, repeat.

Is coding at night > coding at morning? 🤔

We already knew that the $199 Rabbit R1 had the specs of a budget Android smartphone and ran a basic version of Android (with a custom Launcher that mostly interacts with Rabbit's cloud services). Now someone has ported LineageOS to run near-stock Android on the R1. https://buff.ly/4b8gbUn #RabbitR1 #Android #LineageOS #CouldHaveBeenAnApp
