This hands-on permacomputing workshop led by Colm O’Neill explores small-scale power generation using solar panels and mini wind turbines, offering practical insights into sustainable domestic energy systems. As part of his PhD research, O’Neill invites participants to engage in open discussion and contribute their experiences while examining the components, capacities, and implications of DIY renewable setups. The workshop connects permaculture principles with digital sustainability, challenging attendees to rethink their technological dependencies and embrace environmentally conscious alternatives. Blending practical demonstrations with critical dialogue, the session highlights how low-impact computing and energy self-sufficiency can reshape cultural and ecological relationships in the digital age.
