Tech friends: The other day I encountered a new-to-me term, "frugal computing"--the concept of writing software & using tech in ways that make fewer energy demands, as part of a general push for degrowth in our societies. I've read a couple of papers on it by now, but I'm curious what the real-world chatter is around this. Are implementations of this concept reasonable? Feasible? Underway? And if so, how? Any recommended resources for learning more?
(Thanks in advance!)
@jag5081 Hah. 100%.
@MLClark the idea comes and goes.
Along those lines this web site (run on solar) explores how to be more efficient with the energy around tech.
I like their in depth articles and commitment. Some articles go astray in my opinion, like that about bikes.
@b4cks4w Oh, thank you so much for that link! I look forward to deep-diving into some of these pieces today. Cheers, backsaw!
@MLClark crypto miners should think about this.
