Computer Repair

2024-06-30T09:45:02Z

Fysion: Create Computer Repair

Computers, like any other type of machine, can break down and need repair. If you have an already-functioning computer, see [[Computer Maintenance]].

==Basics==
(in progress)
A computer is a type of general-purpose digital device, that can be programmed (using software) to do many different types of tasks.

Central to a computer are 4 main components: the CPU, memory, storage, and peripherals.

===CPU===
The CPU, or Central Processing Unit, is the part of the computer that does all the "thinking". It carries out instructions and manipulates the memory, storage and peripherals based on it.

CPUs come in a variety of bitnesses, computing architectures, and may contain multiple processor "cores" so that the CPU can multitask.

===Memory===
Also called RAM, the memory of a device is where all the short-term and quickly-needed data is stored, for the CPU to process. Memory is typically "volatile", as in it is destroyed when the device is powered off.

RAM is either bundled with the CPU in a SoC (System on a Chip), soldered directly to the main board of the computer, or is in a removable slot (usually either DIMM or SO-DIMM)

===Storage===
Storage contains data that the computer needs to boot (turn off). Storage is typically "persistent", which means it can survive being turned off.

Storage can come in magnetic tapes (cassette tapes, floppy disks), solid-state storage (SSDs, flash), and magnetic disks (HDDs).

===Peripherals===
Peripherals can be anything that connects to a computer, either a mouse or keyboard (Human-interface Devices), a monitor or video display, more storage, up to specialised sensors and data processing units.

==Software==
Typically, computers from 2000 onwards will come with either a version of Windows, Apple's OS X, or a Linux distribution. In a collapse scenario, Linux is the most recommended, as it's Free and Open Source Software enables repair and improvements to the software.

==Tips==
* Always ground yourself before touching the circuitry of a computer.
* It's a good idea to find/keep all manuals and technical documentation for computers and their parts that you own.

Infrastructure

Fysion: /* Computation */ => /* Computing */, add repair link

==Introduction to the Infrastructure category==

The basic facilities, services, and installations needed for the functioning of a community, such as transportation and communications systems, water and electricity supply. Here Infrastructure is presented as means, technologies and methods that can be employed in the event civil infrastructure or a component of it becomes unavailable.

For the below topics and any others added, each bullet item could be a link to a page with resources.

Environmental Sociology

2024-06-30T09:18:51Z

Fysion: Create Environmental Sociology

From [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_sociology Wikipedia]:

:Environmental sociology is the study of interactions between societies and their natural environment. The field emphasizes the social factors that influence environmental resource management and cause environmental issues, the processes by which these environmental problems are socially constructed and define as social issues, and societal responses to these problems.

Environment

==Introduction==

This category page needs a more detailed description. Perhaps not the most useful category name altogether, this category intended to foreground the need for environmental protection as part of a longer term resilience strategy.

For the below topics and any others added, each bullet item could be a link to a page with resources.

==Rewilding==
* [[Native planting]] (assisted restoration)
* [[Tiny Forests]]

Degrowth

2024-06-30T09:10:05Z

Fysion: Create Degrowth

From [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrowth Wikipedia]:

:Degrowth is an academic and social movement critical of the hegemony of economic growth perpetuated by capitalism, and calls for an equitable and democratically-led downscaling of production and consumption in industrialised countries as a means to achieve environmental sustainability, social justice and well-being.

Degrowth is an anti-consumerist concept that opposes capitalism's growth-at-all-costs mindset. It denies that we live in a world with infinite resources, and advocates for more mindful use of resources (be it natural, economic, human or otherwise).

Circular Economy

2024-06-30T09:04:57Z

Fysion: Create Circular Economy

From [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_economy Sikipedia]:

:A circular economy (also referred to as circularity or CE) is a model of resource production and consumption in any economy that involves sharing, leasing, reusing, repairing, refurbishing, and recycling existing materials and products for as long as possible.

This type of economic system prioritises reducing waste as much as it can, though by itself, is not enough to be completely self-sufficient (see [[Degrowth]])
