SUMMARY:🔊Turn data into sound & back with Minimodem
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop you’ll convert text data into audio using the program minimodem\, then record the audio to a cassette tape. Then you’ll use minimodem to play back your text onscreen in real time. We’ll provide computers and tape decks\, and everyone who signs up will get a few free cassette tapes. \nWe’ve been using Bell 202-style ASCII encoding at 100 baud (bits per second) because it works reliably and plays back at a comfortable reading speed. Using these encoding settings\, a 60-minute cassette tape can store ~34 KB of data. If you want to record a specific text file to a cassette tape\, we recommend bringing it on a USB drive. \nWe’ll have computers to share\, but you’re welcome to bring a laptop too. Here’s a link to the zine we’ll use for the workshop (a work in progress). \nRegister:\n\nDownload the\nMP4\nvideo. \nThis workshop is free\, but donations are welcome. \n

SUMMARY:💾🌾 Iffy Books Permacomputing Meetup
DESCRIPTION:Our next permacomputing meetup is on Sunday\, October 15th at 3:30 PM EDT. You can join us in person at Iffy Books (319 N. 11th St. #2I\, PHL) or via Jitsi Meet. \n➡️ Meetup Link\nFrom Permacomputing.net: Permacomputing is a more sustainable approach to computer and network technology inspired by permaculture. Permacomputing is both a concept and a community of practice oriented around issues of resilience and regenerativity in digital technology. In a time where computing epitomizes industrial waste\, permacomputing encourages a more sustainable approach\, maximizing hardware lifespans\, minimizing energy use and focussing on the use of already available computational resources. We do this because humans are part of nature and technology is an extension of humans\, and we acknowledge that technology has been used to harm nature. We want to find out how we can practice good relations with the Earth by learning from ecological systems to leverage and re-center existing technologies and practices. We are also interested in investigating what a permacomputing way of life could be\, and what sort of transformative computational culture and aesthetics it could bring forward. If you want to know more\, please start reading about what is permacomputing in essence\, and then dive into its principles. \nPermacomputing Aesthetics: Potential and Limits of Design Constraints in Computational Culture by Mansoux\, Howell\, Barok\, and Heikkilä (2023)
