@andymoose @FuturisticRobert the closest to "excitement" I've experienced was when #Valve did a #Trifecta of new #devices without any mention of "#AI" but instead outlying with the #SteamMachine:

'You own this thing. Do whatever you want with it!'

  • Completely blowing even the original #OtherOS for #PS3 out of the water...

And that is saddening!

@raccoon granted, #Valve did already commit themselves to it being "open like a PC" so they can't sell at a loss. They at least need to break even in terms of cost to avoid businesses like datacenters to go: "Hey, that's pretty good!" and order like 1000+...

@tbortels @EeveeEuphoria @yellowdog I'm #StillMad about the #OtherOS ordeal - even if I had been eligible for the #OtherOSsettlement #ClassAction at all!

#PS3 #OtherOS #FOSS And here comes the real adventure with open source software. My first task to be able to program on PS3 with "modern" setup was to be able to `git clone` project from GitHub and be able to push local changes back to remote repo. First problem I encountered were outdated cryptographics libraries which blocked my ssh connections and Firefox website loads.
SSH uses OpenSSL but Firefox has its own cryptograpy libraries called Network Security Services (NSS). tbc.

I soldered new capacitor onto the motherboard and also had to solder small wires from fan socket to nodes of circuit overcoming the problem of traces I ripped off the MB. This time I used dismantling instructions for PS3 I've found on YT, so I learned that proper moves made it quite simple. Applied also thermal paste onto the RSX and CellBE and PS3 was ready for testing after assembling. I was very happy when I had found out that PS3 turned on and operated stably. #PS3 #OtherOS #FOSS

#PS3 #OtherOS #FOSS So in the process of replacing the battery I tore a capacitor off the motherboard and almost ripped the power and main fan control socket from the traces. After such treatment PS3 stopped reacting to power-on button although red light of standby mode was on. I had to order new capacitor because I couldn't use the old one because after pulling out pins and SMD socket were deattached from capacitor. I ordered 1000uF (the same as original one) and 10VDC (larger than original).

#PS3 #OtherOS #FOSS To my surprise process of installation of git from sources was flawless. `configure`,`make` and `make install` and I was good to go. Next step was to take care about installing new openssl and ssh but in the meantime I needed to change the CMOS battery. Unfortunately the battery is placed on the other site of motherboard, so practically I needed to dismantle whole PS3 for that. I did it by exploration without any instructions and I soon regretted it... tbc.

In 2021 I finally took some time to install Yellow Dog Linux 6.1 (YLD) on my PS3 fat, which patiently waited on my shelf. I discovered that Linux from around 2009 is quite capable, despite 256MB of PS3's RAM. However, cryptographical standards of the Web changed since then and I couldn't load any of modern web pages which used https protocol into my Firefox. The same happened for ssh connections. I worked it around with my other computer and downloaded git sources. [tbc.]

In 2010 I was really disappointed by Sony’s move to disable „OtherOS” option on PS3. I refused to install infamous 3.20 fw version on my fat PS3. I lost access to PlayStation Network but was planning to install Linux and play with CellBE processor. However it took me 11 years to finally do this. During that time I played on second PS3 slim I bought and upgraded to the newest FW version to use PSN and PS Plus, yeah, couldn’t resist cool game every month at that time. #PS3 #OtherOS #FOSS tbc.
