The abundance of digital storage and processing power has caused an explosion in wastefulness, which shows in things like ridiculous hardware requirements for computing even the most trivial tasks. Permacomputing aims at only using computing when it has a strengthening effect on ecosystems.

XXIIVV - permacomputing A holistic approach to computing inspired by permaculture. Permacomputing is a design practice that encourages the maximization of hardware lifespan, minimization of energy usage and focuses on the use of already available computational resources. It values maintenance and refactoring of systems to keep them efficient, instead of planned obsolescence , permacomputing practices planned longevity . It is about using computation only when it has a strengthening effect on ecosystems. Articulating the Value of Absence Frugal Computing Salvage Computing Collapse Computing Uti
