Does solar.lowtechmagazine.com count? Or is that just considered standard reading on slrpnk.net?

Ah yeah, a classic <3

If you didn't comment this, I would have.

Completely forgot that channel!

Cody's Lab. Not specifically low tech but there are hundreds of videos of him mining, making greenhouses, and beekeeping

[-] Signtist@lemm.ee 12 points 1 week ago

Does Look Mum No Computer count?

[-] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 week ago

Absolutely. Analog is retro. That's low tech for sure.

Primitive Technology, the channel that inspired all those faked terrible "building stuff in the woods" channels, but the original is really good.

Low-Tech Magazine shows up on here occasionally, I've enjoyed their articles.

I'd also recommend Kris Harbour Natural Building on YouTube.

Clickspring is currently recreating the antikythera mechanism using period accurate tools and technology, which is low tech if you consider that it was high tech for the ancient greeks.

Anyone watch attoparsec on YouTube?

I saw him at open sauce last year, and got to type out a tweet using his typesetter's keyboard:

Cheers for mentioning this, that shit is right up my alley! :D

Yeah, he's got some dope stuff, and seemed nice. He made a fuse-triggered mechanical thumper from Dune. This was before the movie, so I don't know how it compares, but it's quite clever.

Black Forager, whom I mostly follow on F-book.

Van Oak Props.

It's nice to see the creativity that goes into creating props. I also follow watch a few others that also go over props and haunted house builds.

I love the low tech cycling subculture at yt - bikepackers, mechanics, tinkerers...

Like Path less pedaled and BikeFarmer.

They show how the bikes should be simple, mechanical machines that are bombproof and easy to repair not some high tech racing monsters.

Camping with Steve is pretty great

[-] spudsrus@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago

Does Joseph's machines count as low tech?

Or do you mean more primitive tech?
