It's delightful having IPv6 working on IRIX. :sgi:
It uses EUI-64 addressing, and now I feel like it was time well spent with ip.mroach.com development to detect those and lookup the vendor :D
I've found that lynx and wget won't resolve IPv6 addresses from hostnames, and curl won't work at all (these are SGUG pre-compiled binaries). But hey, I'm loving it.

@mbbrutman Nice! Reminds me of the SGI O2Cam / MooseCam on my O2.

This is a rare in depth video of the SGI O2 being used by an actual VFX artist. It's the first in a series that I'm very excited for.
The O2 has always been my favorite SGI workstation, ever since I discovered it as a teenager, in the pages of PC Magazine. It was powerful AND beautiful!

Locomotion on #IRIX: fixed more big endian stuff. No more rendering glitches in intro screen scenes.

@gloriouscow I have an O2. I set out to get an Indy, but got an O2. The O2 is cool, but everything I've used it for I could've done more cheaply and quietly and in less space with an Indy. Maybe get an Indy.
Right now the O2 system is on the shelf because I needed space for an Apple IIe.
Here's a gallery of my O2 in its various settings: https://www.flickr.com/photos/blakespot/albums/72157604335087061/

📰 History of IRIX
｢ Before the Unix name was registered as a trademark, most companies that forked off their own Unix simply kept the name intact, since it was still Unix. But afterwards, the Unix name could no longer be used, and companies had to come up with their own names ｣

Video recording (37 MB) of the #bjork 'Unravel' demo, in case you don't have a Silicon Graphics running #IRIX available.

Resumed work on my 'Björk - Unravel' demo for #IRIX
Spent countless hours refining the first scene, but still not satisfied with the yarn animation 😢 -
USB mass-storage driver for IP35 #IRIX
Can now read and write files (xfs).
fat32 support still needs some debugging. -

New #irix porting project: Raptor - Call of the Shadows.
Intro already works 😆 -
What's this? The #VirtualOSmuseum includes #SGI #Irix? Ooh shiny! I didn't think there were any working emulators. Now downloading so I can pick it apart and see how it does it, and then replicate without the extra gigabytes of baggage. And then I shall install my favourite #compiler EVAR, #MIPSPro, which I affectionately call a complier, not a compiler, because it really led the field in whining about bad non-standard C.

@flexion Nice!!
All I got is GIMP on my O2. 🙂

Catch of the Day: A visit from the SGI graphics forge! 🦖
Hey Retro Fans!
While many of us still had gray towers sitting under our desks in the late 90s, the world of high-end graphics looked completely different. And today, we had a visitor straight from that world:
Netscape Navigator 4.75C-SGI on an SGI IRIX system!
This is absolutely mind-blowing! SGI (Silicon Graphics, Inc.) built workstations that were as expensive as sports cars and as powerful as mainframes. Whether it was "Jurassic Park," "Terminator 2," or the architecture of the Nintendo 64—all of it was developed on SGI machines running the IRIX operating system.
The fact that today, in 2026, someone fires up their SGI Indy, Indigo, or perhaps even a massive Octane workstation, launches the Netscape 4.75C customized exclusively for IRIX, and browses the web on FrogFind simply goes to show: True hardware legends never die.
A reverent greeting to the lucky owner of this UNIX dream machine!

Catch of the Day: The Jurassic Park Workstation! 🦖🖥️
Hey Retro Fans!
Hold on to your UNIX manuals, because today our FrogFind radar detected an absolute Hollywood star in the frog pond. Between the usual handhelds and Windows PCs, this breathtaking identifier suddenly appeared:
Netscape Navigator 4.75C-SGI on SGI IRIX!
For those who weren't in IT in the 90s: SGI stands for Silicon Graphics Inc. and IRIX was their proprietary UNIX operating system. SGI workstations (like the legendary Indigo2 or O2) were incredibly expensive, highly specialized graphics monsters. It was on exactly these machines that the dinosaurs for Jurassic Park, the liquid Terminator in T2, and even the hardware architecture for the Nintendo 64 were developed!
The fact that these Hollywood heavyweights came with their own specially customized version of the Netscape Navigator (the "C-SGI" at the end) straight from the manufacturer was standard back then. The fact that today, over 25 years later, a retro enthusiast boots up one of these UNIX legends, loads the IRIX OS, and surfs through our frog pond using the original SGI Netscape is retro computing at the absolute highest level.
Cheers to the Silicon Graphics workstations—may your MIPS processors calculate forever!
Your FrogFind Team 🐸
