Quick sunday MorphOS test on my Power Mac G4. Will my old Amiga 1200 hard drive mount? Nope, not today... I'll be back. #PowerMacG4 #amiga #Morphos

For the UI, I think I'll give Window Maker a spin. It was my favorite X11 window manager back when I spent more time in X11. #OpenBSD #WindowMaker #PowerMacG4

Before I crack into the Mac Classic, I've decided to bring my PowerMac G4 (Quicksilver w/ Mirrored Drive Doors) back into service as an OpenBSD server. Was contemplating bringing it back as a Mac OS 9 system, but I'd rather it be useful in the modern era. #OpenBSD #PowerMacG4 #RetroComputing

No idea. Mounted the small rubber shroud for the rear fan from the Quicksilver, as opposed to the plastic shield that holds the fan in the Digital Audio, and I've mounted a 120mm fan on top pointing out, Intel cooler style. I don't honestly think heat is the issue, but I'd like to at least eliminate it as a variable (or hey, maybe it is the issue, and I can prevent losing another night to fighting with yet another cursed G4).
Starting to once again lose my taste for playing with old Macs (though there's always the possibility that it's a side effect of the modified ATX power supply).

It is entirely possible that what is actually happening is it's going to sleep, and then failing to wake up (which I think is a side effect of the modded ATX power supply). I've now slid the sleep timer in the Energy Saver panel to Never, but I'm too dumb and impatient to wait and see if this solves it, and I currently have OS9.2 installing to the IDE drive. Wish me luck, lol.

I found a #powermacg4 tower at our local thrift/food/second hand hall. It was sold by the adult dvd store, for some reason.
Anyway, it followed me home and after reinstalling the OS to get rid of the prior owner's data I have to say there's not THAT much difference between #macos9 and #macosx

Aujourd'hui, retour de mon époux·e.
J'ai fabriqué un petit jouet en cotte de maille pour les chattes, en espérant qu'il résiste plus longtemps que les souris, poissons et oiseaux en tissu du commerce.
J'ai essayé de faire fonctionner un MacBook Pro (15-Inch, premier modèle) pour voir s'il intègrera ma collection à la place de celui que j'ai déjà et qui ne fonctionne pas. En photo, voici le moment exact où notre chatte est venue arrêter le lent processus de réparation du disque dur corrompu, en cliquant sur Cancel.
[🖼 Au premier plan, mon genou. Au-dessus, la tête blasée de ma chatte, et derrière, l'écran du MacBook Pro et la fenêtre de Disk Utility avec du texte en rouge, et le curseur sur le bouton Cancel en bleu.]
Son regard ne trompe pas, c'était volontaire.Je vais chercher mon époux·e à la gare. Câlins, je lui montre les choses que j'ai changé dans l'appartement, mon époux·e me montre les choses rapportées de son voyage. Animal Crossing.
J'assemble un prototype d'une peluche que j'ai préparée à partir de photos d'un de mes ordinateurs, et je découpe un bloc de mousse pour le rembourrer. Voilà le second modèle de ma collection MacPlush.
[🖼 Un cube de tissu de quelques centimètres de côté, qui représente l'intérieur d'un Apple Power Mac G4 Cube, devant ma machine à coudre. Sur la table, un indice du prochain modèle prévu.]
C'est l'intérieur d'un Apple Power Mac G4 Cube, mais de la taille d'un stress toy.https://jena.pink/20250724

There was a changing of the guard today as I upgraded my 2003 PowerMac G4 to a 2013 Mac Pro. New office. New Mac.
Or, in simpler terms, ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony on my desk for a brief time.

When the #Mac was a "munition"
In 1999, #Apple unveiled the #PowerMac #G4, a machine that became pivotal in the evolution of personal computing and a landmark in #tech regulation. Unlike its predecessor, the aesthetically pioneering iMac, the #PowerMacG4 broke new ground through sheer power. It achieved an astonishing computational capability of 1 #gigaflop — a threshold that, under U.S. law at the time, put the device in the same category as exporting munitions.
