I liked reading this - permacomputing is often a nice contrast with today's world where everything is constantly improving and changing and breaking at the same time.

I wonder what "peramcomputing in action" would be when you're just trying to build a website, or a SAAS app. Those things aren't really the cool alternative dreams of 100 rabbits, but they could still benefit from these kind of ideas.

One thing that often strikes me, is that the web, despite being a huge part of the problem, actually poses a lot of solutions. PWAs and WASM offer some pretty great opportunities for portability, and WASM in particular is probably the closest we've got yet to a "universal virtual machine" (I know it's still got a long way to go)
