![Excerpt from the article "A pluriverse of local worlds: a review of Computing within Limits related terminology and practices": "Permacomputing is a term originating from the demoscene, known for squeezing the most out of very restricted computing resources, such as the 4k intro with a maximum executable file size of 4096 bytes. Artist programmer Ville-Matias Heikkilรค, aka Viznut, coined the term in a text he published on his website in 2020 [ 20]. What stands out in this writing is the holistic approach to computing and sustainability by taking inspiration from permaculture. In both computing and agriculture, problems are usually solved by increas- ing control over a process, which often goes hand in hand with an increase in resource use. Permaculture uses methods that lets nature do the work, minimizing the reliance on artificial energy. Heikkilรค sees similarities between how both permaculture practi- tioners and hackers find clever solutions to problems. He writes that the existence of computers can only be justified by their ability to augment the potential of humans to have a strengthening effect on ecosystems."](https://iffybooks.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Permacomputing.png "Permacomputing")
