thinking about the permacomputer a lot lately

1. it needs some way to program PROMs and microcontrollers itself, because if it is the only computer available it needs to be able to build more computers

2. at this stage the only way to reduce the chip count would be to start using FPGAs, something about which i know little, and have scant experience

in other news, i have sat at my computer for many hours unable to find the energy to record any videos about BASIC

i have approached spectra.video for a new peertube account, as diode.zone is scaling down, so far no response--i may just email SDF and get one on toobnix
