Bạn muốn host trang statik trên Mac Mini G4 20 năm lân? Mặc dù OS X Server 10.4 có lỗ hổng bảo mật, dùng sau Nginx reverse‑proxy sẽ giảm rủi ro, nhưng vẫn không 100% an toàn. Lựa chọn khôn ngoan hơn: cài OpenBSD – hỗ trợ phần cứng, bảo mật cao, dễ quản lý. Cho trang HTML/CSS, OpenBSD + Nginx là giải pháp phù hợp nhất. 🚀

Snapshot (06.12.2025)
Ok fellow weirdos, even with all the magic #linux has to offer my daily driver laptop is reaching the end of it's usable life at 13 years. It wasn't all that capable to begin with. Problem is, I'm an obstinate weirdo and I am pathologically compelled to replace it with something weird. Maybe some ARM fun on an older apple silicone machine? But I swore off apple like a decade ago after some bad hardware experiences. I dunno. I miss #powerpc

it felt like compiling ports was very slow on this hardware… turns out 'cc -v' on ppc64le takes ~0.32 seconds to execute, of which ~0.22s is system.

i wonder if this is related to the llvm dynamic linking issue that was being discussed on stable@? but on amd64, 'cc -v’ takes only ~0.025s, so the problem seems to be ppc-specific.

unfortunately we don't seem to support lldb on ppc64le, which makes this difficult to investigate. so fixing that might be the most useful thing to start with...

🦾 The PowerPC Has Still Got It // Hackster

「 Rossignol, a vintage computing enthusiast, successfully ran a large language model (LLM) on a 1.5GHz PowerBook G4, a machine with just 1GB of RAM and a 32-bit processor. The experiment used a fork of llama2.c, an open-source LLM inference engine originally developed by Andrej Karpathy 」

The PowerPC Has Still Got It

What good is a 2005 PowerBook G4 in this day and age? Not much, unless you want to run a modern large language model in style, that is.

Netissä on paljon vapaaehtoisuuteen ja lahjoituksiin perustuvia hankkeita. Lahjoitin tänään 10€ hankkeelle, joka suunnittelee PowerPC-prosessoriin perustuvan läppärin emolevyä. Tarkoitus on kerätä 5400 € ja aikaa on vielä 24 päivää #powerpc #tyche
@argv_minus_one You are way off, Windows the brand is 44 years old, but classic 3x/9x Windows and Windows NT are different lineages and ages. Also, OS X/macOS is its own platform, sure, it shares some history through NeXTStep. If you truly thing they are related, try running Concurrence on #PowerPC OS X or any app developed for NeXTStep, you can't. They are ancestors in some sense yes. You can't even run apps for PPC OS X on #Apple Silicon.
