Silicon Graphics : IRIX, OpenGL et Jurrasic Park

Silicon Graphics : IRIX, OpenGL et Jurrasic Park

Another day, another 30 year old computer getting in on the IPv6 action. This time it's an SGI O2 running IRIX 6.5.
It only took me a few hours to setup a network installation server for the software and remember how to use inst and find the right systune but hey, now we're golden.
(Install eoe.sw.ipv6, reboot, systune ip6_enable 1, reboot)
This was a delightful read, tech is still cool from time to time, if you know where to look and no money is involved.
Which is another way of saying, if you have some spare time you could also spend your evening reading a blog post about decompiling Silicon Graphics' PROMs. This is fedi's bread and butter.

Does anyone else remember wearing one of these in the early to mid 90s?
I only got to wear one once, at Epcot Center. I got the chance to explore some Egyptian tomb and it got me hooked on VR ever since.

A stack of pure computer porn if I ever saw one 😍

"ps. m88k has been the most worthwhile example, since some insane parts
of that architecture permits Miod to find a MI bug weekly."
I just love that quote.
