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.

Permaculture uses methods that lets nature do the work, minimizing the reliance on artificial energy. Heikkilä sees similarities between how both permaculture practitioners 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.

    Je vois : En période d’abondance, on peut se restreindre moins sans tomber dans le gaspillage. L’informatique aujourd’hui est dans une période d’abondance d’énergie électrique, d’espace mémoire et, pour certains domaines, de puissance de calcul. Le même principe doit s’appliquer pour elle.
