I tried building #opencode on #ppc64 to replace the claude code cli, but I failed.  #bun is the main (first) bottleneck

As bun is now part of anthropic, I doubt ppc64 builds will get resources

https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/50475 and https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/50443  don't give me much hope either.

New T2/Linux 26.3 “Desktop Edition” for a lot of different architectures, also #ppc64

#firefox 144.0.2 is available under ARCH Power Linux on my #PowermacG5.

We have liftoff! And quite literally actually - the fans are *screaming* at me.  

Picked up porting #NixOS to #ppc64 again ~ early Summer or so. Life has certainly been easier ever since I gave up on glibc w/ ELFv2 and just started focusing on using ELFv1 instead.

I certainly wouldn't wanna try to actually run `nixos-install` right now - it'll prolly just brick the Debian installation that I'm using as a host for these shenanigans. But chances are higher that this'll get somewhere this time! 

Yesterday evening I unceremoniously and sadly deleted, one by one, every app every photo every video and every document - all data from icloud - using a lovely pink iPad Mini.

The day before was the same, for several iphones, then a purged Apple Watch too. The laptops were before, long ago. My favorite was the 1Ghz Titanium G4 PowerBook - I'll always miss that perfection.

So, goodbye to modern Apple Inc. I loved your ways and means, your engineering prowess, industrial design, and the inspiration in every direction offered over so many decades.

I'm keeping the water-cooled Quad Core G5 PowerMac (PPC64 970MP A1177). You can attempt to pry it from my cold dead hands alongside a GP101... but please do not touch that one last, beautiful, and forever best example of IBM + Apple innovation - before Apple leadership sold out to Intel, pushed upon every emacs user the worthless Touchbar, and the scissor-chicklet keyboards with a lawsuit. But never forget Liquidass, crowning achievement and example of Apple's downfall.

How sad; sorry about your demise, Apple. I'll miss who you once were.

Given the open source nature of Open Firmware, I'm surprised features like USB boot capability haven't been backported to older New World Macs by the community.

I have no idea if current builds would fit on 1 MB ROM present in New World Macs, or how much headroom there is for deployment of a modern OFW ROM image for even more ambitious projects without resorting to hardware mods.

Has the #powerpc notebook project fizzled out? I found it to be an interesting project.

Con el sun ultrasparc t2000 creo que le voy a hincar el diente directamente con #netbsd porque tiene mogollón de paquetes precompilados, con #gentoo va a ser la puta muerte a pellizcos….

Ya tengo el culo pelao con #gentoo #ppc64 BE

actualización de kernel, modulos, bash y otras cosas importantes en @gentoo #ppc64
