#Macstodon now runs in the latest bleeding-edge build of the Snow emulator! And if you use Snow's built-in HTTPS stripping, then you don't have to configure WebOne or another proxy, just install Macstodon and start using it 😎

Thanks @twvd for the FPU fixes and all the other hard work you put into Snow! This is the kick-in-the-pants I need to get the next version of Macstodon out the door 🙂

🦾 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 ｣

update on the FreeBSD ppc64le thing: apparently the ISO does boot on real hardware (Talos II) so for now i expect it will still be a supported architecture in 15.0.

the fact it doesn't boot under qemu is probably still a bug somewhere.

but the difficulty of finding anyone to test this is concerning: it seems like there may currently be *no* developers running ppc64le on real hardware. (as opposed to ppc64, which at least a couple of people use in VMs, often under Linux KVM; as it happens, there were no issues with the ppc64 ISO.)

trying to get anyone to care about the fact that FreeBSD 15.0 is about to be released and the installer doesn't boot on powerpc64le (pSeries / PowerNV) is surprisingly difficult.

re@ is now pestering people to fix it under the threat of declaring it an unsupported platform for the release, but that doesn't seem to be having much effect.

It took an embarrassing amount of time, but I was finally able to get Linux installed and running on my old G4 iMac so I can use it as a terminal to access my home servers!

Wow, running this on my #OpenBSD#PowerPc#Macmini#G4

I saw the YouTube recommendation, but i seldom get the "hype"
Then a friend gave me the link

Seems very interesting.
