Brewing a permacomputing collective in c/permacomputing@slrpnk.net
[–] jgstratton@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 3 months ago

As someone who is both into home brewing and Permacomputing; I am in. Anyone in the Eastern Nebraska area want to start a permacomputing cell? I'm planning on taking Wednesday off to:

  • Muck around with Coreboot. I got it installed on a Thinkpad Sunday, but I seem to have an issue booting Plan 9. So I want to dig into that and maybe install Coreboot on a second device.
  • Do some experimentation around using an old junk webcamera and a Rasberry Pi 2 plus "motion" to rig up a security camera.
  • Look at porting some Plan 9 user land tools to Mac OS 7 by seeing if they can build on MacMint or Minix.

BelaGOS: A Cyberpunk Operating Systems (mock-up) (github.com)
 

I’m creating this because I want a Cyberpunk Operating System that is more than just a cool GUI on GNU/Linux or BSD. Something to run on Cyberdecks or old junker ThinkPads pulled out of the trash. So I’m going to build a self contained Plan 9 grid, add an optional Mesh Networking (via Batman-adv) layer and a Darknet layer (via Yggrasil). So I can say things like "Meshing my Node into the Darknet Grid!" in front of a cool looking terminal.
