Raphaël BastideI am trying to offer a 2010 ipad a second life with PHP and webdav / nextcloud. Not an easy task as I feel like a golden retriever looking at his reflection in front of a webdav API documentation. It is impossible to install new apps on the old iOS, almost impossible to use the https web, the built-in web browser with insecure http is the last door remaining open of a very closed hard and software. My goal is to create a very basic access to nextcloud files so I can make it a media center. Any experience, help welcome. <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79500163/webdav-listing-files-and-folder" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79500163/webdav-listing-files-and-folder</a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/recomputer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#recomputer</a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/permacomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#permacomputing</a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/oldipad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oldipad</a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/nextcloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nextcloud</a>

Amin GirasolVia the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/@ataripodcast" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@ataripodcast</a>: in a 25-minute video, Jean Michel Sellier, Research Assistant Professor at Purdue University, demonstrates the use of an <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Atari800XL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Atari800XL</a> to train a neural network using a genetic algorithm instead of the memory-hungry technique of gradient descent.<a href="https://hackaday.com/2025/02/21/genetic-algorithm-runs-on-atari-800-xl/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://hackaday.com/2025/02/21/genetic-algorithm-runs-on-atari-800-xl/</a>I've had a soft spot for Artificial Life for a long time. During the last AI Winter in the mid 1990s, I was spurred to get back into education and onto a career in commercial software development by Stephen Levy's book "Artificial Life: The Quest for a New Creation". I loved that Artificial Life researchers borrowed well-understood mechanisms from genetics and implemented them in software to converge iteratively on solutions, in contrast to AI research, which was attempting to build models of categories which were not understood at all (and largely still aren't) - intelligence (whatever that is) and perception.In subsequent years I wondered why I wasn't hearing any hype about Artificial Life; it turns out practitioners have been quietly getting on with solving problems using the technique. Meanwhile, yet again, AI boosters have blustered their way into the consciousness with another round of overcooked hype.The Stephen Levy book is still worth a read, if you can find it. (IIRC Danny Hillis and the Connection Machine folks get a mention too.)(I don't know if any of the genetic algorithm folks turned out to be supporters of eugenics, as many of the current crop of AI boosters seem to be.)<a href="https://archive.org/details/artificiallifequ0000levy_l1x2" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.org/details/artificiallifequ0000levy_l1x2</a><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter#The_setbacks_of_the_late_1980s_and_early_1990s" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter#The_setbacks_of_the_late_1980s_and_early_1990s</a><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/solarpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#solarpunk</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/permacomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#permacomputing</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/geneticalgorithms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#geneticalgorithms</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ArtificialLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArtificialLife</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/VintageComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VintageComputing</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/TESCREAL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TESCREAL</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Eugenics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eugenics</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Genetics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Genetics</a>

Problem FoxI need a bigger media drive, but can't afford one right now. After a week of looking at new drives today my brain suddenly realised that I should just repurpose the 8TB drive currently used for Mac TimeMachine backups. I've never used TimeMachine to recover lost data, and have separate on-site and off-site backup plans already. Well that'll save some cash. <a class="hashtag" href="https://corteximplant.net/tag/repurposereuserepair" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RepurposeReuseRepair</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://corteximplant.net/tag/permacomputing" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#permacomputing</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://corteximplant.net/tag/practicalsolarpunk" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#practicalSolarpunk</a>

𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒚 𝑺𝒏𝒊𝒑𝒆𝒔 🌨My favorite new technology is not new. It's a natural-language game engine for creating text-based interactive stories. (Inform 7) The latest version was released in 2022. This excellent and completely usable book was published in 2011. The game engine was created in 2006, as a rebuild of a project which was introduced when I was still getting carded for cigarettes (1993).This is a good and appropriate pace for technology. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Inform7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Inform7</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/InteractiveFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InteractiveFiction</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/PermaComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PermaComputing</a>

Menel[rant] Looking for nice software to selfhost on very moderate hardware these days is like: "add this to your kubernetes cluster // terraform something....// This is your docker compose file..." I just want an efficient program, bare metal, also not three reverse proxys in a row. And also I'm not running some supercluster in the "cloud". Seems everyone virtualizes everything and abstracts everything, containers in containers in VMs. Even "normal" mastodon hosters, I mean I understand if people use it for running something like running Instagram, OK. And then many still have quite often some downtime because (I guess?) in all this complexity, that exists to add reliability, there are config errors or incompatibilities. [/rant] I Love I've found snac and the prosody xmpp server, they run on a potato, snac only since this year, prosody since 10y, started on a raspberrypi1b. And they have no downtime. I want more like that. I don't know the right Hashtags.
