Was ist euer Fazit zum netzpolitischen Sommer 2025 soweit?
#Microsoft #Meta #Palantir #CPB etc. – alles Themen, die sich mit anderen Menschen viel besser verarbeiten lassen als alleine.
Darum: Köpfe zusammen stecken – nicht in den trockenen Boden. Hier sind dafür geeignete Community Events im 
August bis Dezember (#Auswahl):

@campact
Campact Blog · Köpfe zusammen, statt in den SandBig Tech macht sich breit und beschneidet digitale Rechte – aber das ist kein Grund, direkt aufzugeben! Die zweite Jahreshälfte ist voll mit Treffen und Konferenzen, bei denen gemeinsam zu Digitalpolitik geknobelt und sich verbündet werden kann. Hier findest Du die wichtigsten Termine: %url%
How much compute power does one need to live the good life? (Not counting video games.)
Romans built their roads and waged their wars without benefit of computers.
Chinese empires had the abacus.
We slung rockets with slide rules.
They used to run multi-national corporations and universities on computers less powerful than your phone.

Yes! I was just about to write: It would be very instructive to have a visual tool that allows you to set values for factors such as:
Medium: text, image, video
AI model: GPT-x, Gemini, etc.
Prompt: x words
Output: words / image size / frames
Data centre: old or super efficient high-end?
Internet: Wifi / 5G …
etc.

Do digital #sustainability experts have a good source or thoughts on this? What about image- and video-generating AI?

MastodonFriedemann (@frebelt@mastodon.online)Is there an article on the vagueness in estimating the #water usage of #AI #chatbots?
Washington Post, Sept'24:
> A bottle of water per email: the hidden environmental costs of using AI chatbots¹
Sean Goedecke, Oct'24:
> Talking to ChatGPT costs 5ml of water, not 500ml²
#SamAltman, June'25:
> [T]he average #ChatGPT query uses… about 0.000085 gallons of #water; roughly 1/15 of a teaspoon.³
Christian Bonawandt, Aug'25:
> ChatGPT consumes between 10 to 100 milliliters for every prompt⁴
I'm a big fan of #permaculture and I've tried my hand at it a bit. So, the idea of #permacomputing is pretty intriguing to me. I think it's something we should explore and implement as a society.

To fellow locals in the Wellington region, this will be a talk you'll not want to miss.
@neauoire of 100 Rabbits will give a (remote) talk on Tuesday on the critically vital movement of #permacomputing, & with plenty of time for Q+A after.
There are still a few seats left.

Well, my personal site (UK) for selling and giving away stuff is not getting a lot of enquiries so far. I guess it's just reach.
I have updated it with the next lot of objects though.

Tarvitseeko kukaan 32-bittisiä Raspberry Pi kortteja esim. varaosiksi vanhoihin projekteihin? Itse en enää tarvitse, joten lähtee postimaksun hinnalla:
- 2 kpl Raspberry Pi Model B (2011.12)
- 1 kpl Raspberry Pi Model B+ V1.2 (2014)
- 2 kpl Raspberry Pi Model 2 B V1.1 (2014)

I have been thinking about #permacomputing for a while, what stability and self determination in whatever-context means, realized that CPUs are just another API, and that we have a self propagating hardware independent OS in Linux.... Risc-v is that permaculture solution.
Oil and tech supremacy -- along with American culture export -- is literally all we have of value to the world, and the latter will fall as collateral damage soon enough.
Intel and Nvidia are on the brink of irrelevancy already now.

@diiccix Ole hyvä! Nyt on oikein #permacomputing mukaista: staattisten nettisivujen HTML-esikäsittelijä.
Tämmöinen tapaus: Sivujen lähdekoodi oli jo alun perin HTML:ää, koska sillä saa suoraan minimalistiset nettisivut perinteiseen tapaan.
Navipalkin generointi haluttiin automatisoida, jotta sivujen laajentaminen on helpompaa. Toisaalta haluttiin pysyä kaukana dynaamista nettisivuista, koska ideana on tuottaa minimalistiset sivut, jotka eivät vie turhia laskentaresursseja palvelimella. Jaa miksi? https://permacomputing.net/static_site_generator/
Vaihtoehtoina oli (a) etsiä joku valmis staattisten nettisivujen generointisofta tai (b) tehdä itse. (a)-vaihtoehdon suhteen näitähän on pilvin pimein: https://github.com/myles/awesome-static-generators Toisaalta (b)-vaihtoehdossa kutkutti demota, että tämmöisen minimalistisen vehkeen voi kirjoittaa itsekin: ei turhaa koodia, ei turhaa toiminnallisuutta.
Lopputulos: 5 kt / 165 rivin Python-skripti.
- käy läpi lähdetiedostohakemisto rekursiivisesti
- kopioi jokainen tiedosto kohdehakemistoon, jos se on muuttunut
- paitsi jos tiedosto on HTML-tiedosto: silloin esikäsittele se rivi riviltä
- jos HTML-tiedoston rivi alkaa <kulku pohja="tiedosto.html">, lisää viitatun tiedoston sisältö tähän kohtaan.

Morning sunny #Bristol 
Join us in Castle Park today to celebrate and write #HTML 
for #HTMLDay
A few of us will be there from 12-2pm having a chill picnic and creating websites

I love to hear about interesting accounts to follow for #FPGA, #riscv, #oshw, and #permacomputing. 
Online #permacomputing workshop announcement: On Wednesday 6 August, join me for the final "Permacomputing for #Wilderland" workshop on making smol websites!
https://remote.wilderland.ie/events/permacomputing-august-small-websites.html
"From considerations of content management tools, to content export, static site generators, external resources, lightweight media and hosting methods, we'll look at tools to analyse website content (using browser inspector tools), figure out what they require (using traceroute), how to build small websites, and ideas of how to reduce the weight of existing websites."
This is the last of a three-part workshop series, the first looked at small-scale power generation, the second considered how to repurpose portable devices (for web hosting and more) and this final one is about #smolweb. See you on the 6th! Please do 
#thought about #permacomputing - why is there a focus on something like 8bit computers when the #amiga was for example a human understandable computer (https://www.retro-commodore.eu/2024/04/22/amiga-hardware-reference-manual-2/) ? wouldn't it be better to focus on something like a (fpga or custom build) amiga with aros as operating system (or a simpler amiga dos like os) instead of a basic 8bit like system?
I've been invited to talk about #permacomputing at Critical Signals next month! I'll try to introduce some of the ideas that I find most interesting via practical examples. Save the date!

Once again having #PermaComputing thoughts and also feeling the frustration of just how much friction and sacrifice it would involve. I’m still hoping that if I think about it hard enough, I’ll find the right way in, and the right balance
