As a kid i dreamed of ALL THE tech and what could be. New stuff always excited me but these days it's just dire, the only thing in recent years that brought back some joy was #VR and #RISC_V but everything else coming out, I just wonder how big tech will use it to fuck us up even more...

And as kid I would have also never dreamed that things like a 21 years old #HPUX #Unix workstation would help me stay sane and fill me with true wonder instead.

#RISCV #HPPA #PARISC

And here we go, a true #Unix machine with two #PARISC CPU's, OS is HP UX and one the last #RISC workstation #HP released, while switching to Intels ultimate lemon Itanium, should have stayed with their own silicon. This will be fun to figure out.

For everyone worried that #unix and in particular #hpux might be hard to use, I made a short #tutorial video below on how to install software.

In this video you see how easy it is to install some games!

If you ever wondered if it is possible to boot a #hpux #b2000 #parisc system from an #ide drive:

No no you can't. It seems like it can for an annoyingly long time, but no, only from an IDE CDROM drive, and only only if it set to master on the bus.

A nice Christmas surprise – qemu 10.2.0 is out including support for HP 9000 715/64 emulation, one of the machines supported by NeXTstep/PA-RISC. The NeXTstep kernel now is able to make quite a bit more progress but complains about "unknown interrupt"s.
