EDIT: Schneller als gedacht hat sich schon jemand gefunden, der es gern hätte.
Hi, hat jemand Interesse an einem alten iBook G4? Es funktioniert, aber ich habe keine Installations-CDs mehr und weiß auch das Admin-Passwort nicht mehr. Daten sind kaum drauf und zum Wegwerfen ist es irgendwie zu schade. Vielleicht kann auch jemand die Einzelteile gebrauchen und irgendwas upcyclen.

backed up my iBook G3's 30GB HDD to another newer drive in case it failed on me as it is 24~ years old.
I also got it running QEMU, faster than the actual hardware with a bigger clock speed and more RAM.
(700~ -> 900MHz, 256 -> 512MB)
It last woke up on the iBook G3, now it's woken up in a QEMU PPC VM running on Apple Silicon.
I'm really impressed that it just worked.

Just tried out #SevenTTY on #MacOS9 on the #iBook G3 and wow!!!! It's not just a fork of ssheven, it's almost a complete shell with lots of utilities too.
Having the greatest internet experience this Friday evening with #IRC and #Gopher!

Having a great time on my vacation trying out new #MacOS9 applications on my #iBook #G3.
Today I installed:
#OS9Map - #OpenStreetMap
#Palaeomastodon - A mastodon client
#MacSurf - Updated the browser to 1.4 and it works much better than the earlier release I tried out.Together with the Power #MachTen terminal MacOS9 feels like a modern OS and much better looking!

Just happen to see this:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48283099
https://github.com/mplsllc/macsurf"MacSurf, a web browser port of Netsurf for Mac OS 9 with native TLS"
Downloaded it to the #iBook running #MacOS9 and started MacSurf. I could browse sites like #osnews pretty well actually.

Rare 1999 footage of Steve Jobs talking to Apple employees out in Cupertino, the week after launching the iBook.

Interesting:

Remember when everything started with “i”? Things seemed more light-hearted and personal back then.

Just eyed my tangerine iBook tucked in the corner.
Anyone still keeping these running?
Could it even handle the modern web? Early wifi.It has classic Mac OS, and I would need a power brick to even start it up. Battery? The power adapter had something akin to an RCA connection.
If I could get text files over to it, it had my most highly tweaked and useful regex packed copy of BBEdit I’ve ever had I loved to see again, along with other archaeology.

Nel 1999 Jobs creò #iBook: colorato, economico, pieno di compromessi. Oggi il #MacBookNeo costa €699. Gruber dice che Jobs lo avrebbe amato. Ha ragione? La risposta vi sorprenderà. Forse.

Apple ist echt nachhaltig: Sie haben einfach ihre alten übrig gebliebenen Gehäuse vom #iBook neu bunt lackiert und kloppen dort die Überbestände des Prozessors vom #iPhone 16 rein. Und um Müll zu vermeiden, liegt erst gar kein Netzteil bei! Und die #Apple Jünger so: "Yeahr #MacbookNeo!"

We got there in the end.
This took a couple of days to figure out how to boot custom code and even get away from Open Firmware’s tight clutches.
I hope that #Fedi is proud of me for dealing with the bullshit of Open Firmware.

@BastilleBSD Got an iBook G3 “Snow White”, a Cisco 7841 IP Phone, and a StarFive VisionFive 2 RISC-V board!
I think I’ve done well this year and it’s more to add to my Apple collection and overall gear.

I saw this and thought of several of my fedi friends. Hope this brightens a moment of your day!
