𝓻𝓻𝓪<p>On monday I'm presenting a paper on solar.lowtechmagazine.com during the 'Computing within <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/Limits" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Limits</span></a>' conference.</p><p>In the paper I'm describing the design choices we made, such as designing for unavailability and how they were based on reducing a few key metrics such as data transferred, calculations per request and use of third party services. This opens up a way of thinking about <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>degrowth</span></a> and ICT. We should be looking in to that waaaay more. </p><p>The paper also tries to implicitly answer the 'how do we do sustainable web design?' question and argues aiming for reduction (of bytes transferred, computation and infra required) as useful rule of thumbs guiding a design. That is to say, solar protocols, 'low tech look', 3.5MB dithered images, green CDNs etc ain't it.</p><p>However, it also self-criticizes solar.lowtechmagazine.com for the fact that it is so unreproducible and a very limited and 'easy' use case. So yeah no answer but thinking through degrowth should definitely be considered as the direction of the answer.. </p><p><a href="https://computingwithinlimits.org/2021/papers/limits21-abbing.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">computingwithinlimits.org/2021</span><span class="invisible">/papers/limits21-abbing.pdf</span></a></p>
