That's a really great idea actually. As long as its not bigger than the PATA cable, you could build up the case with 3d printed mounts for a thin fan that come off the circular surround and not lose the functionality of your cdrom. Awesome idea :) I would use some rainbow colored PETG (if...

Worked on my website a bit this afternoon. Added some text boxes, added some newer videos and figured out how to embed a short video. For some reason, the short link which is provided for embedding, that linke has a /shorts/ in it (like youtube.com/blach blah blah/shorts/blah blah blah ). This...

I’m If it were me I think I’d approach this from outside. I’d 3D print a circular case/base that the imacg4 would sit on and would house a couple thin profile fans that would blow up on the base of the imacg4. Similar to what a laptop cooler does but is round effectively. You could power either...

Now THAT is some next level irony :D

I built myself a little retro tech website a few years ago on the neocities platform. I took some html around 1998-99 but didn’t really do much with it after that. I realized quickly that my html wheelhouse leaked out my nose while asleep over the following decades lol. Thankfully there’s many...

I've found myself mostly in Leopard on my a1047 so I decided to push off the Tiger partition to an external FW drive so I did that and expanded the Leopard partition to the entire 120GB disk. I also spent the better part of today in between life tasks ripping CDs that are absent from my NAS to...

I updated PowerFox PPC beta with UXPEP & gave it a spin - initial impressions is not bad at all. I was going to install ShogoMAD on my os9 QS but I am really tired, so will have to put that off until another day lol. I wish it was released for OSX. Oh well, dems da breaks ;) I'll get to that...

Awesome bit of TOTC kit. :)

Finished filling up the carousel and spread sheet. As I add CDs, if any of them are missing from my music library on my NAS, I take the time to rip the CD to my NAS before adding it to the carousel. Some of these CDs are old TOTC burns themselves, so take quite a while to capture a quality...

Awesome, thanks. This clears things up for me actually. I made some assumptions that were in incorrect after reading your reasoning.

I certainly trust our board and their intentions as only being the best for everyone. I would however like to see/hear a more granular argument from our board as to why they deem the reduction necessary or beneficial. I believe I understand the rationale behind the proposition but as is evident...

I vote for the steam roller. :D

Today I installed a long, stereo 3.5mm to r/l rca cable from my PmG5 to my stereo amplifier to play music from my NAS. I also fixed a cd carousel player which holds 51 cds so I’ve been filling up a spreadsheet of which album is in what slot. Otherwise I will totally forget what’s what thus the...

I picked up a fan controller and temperature module for a 5.25” bay in my tower off amazon and installed it. The unit looked great unpowered and had what I needed in sensors and fan controls but the lcd was too bright lol :LOL: when on. Believe it or not there were multiple time and alarm...

Installed some games (UT & Q3A) & some of my fav productivity apps (Toast9, iwork08 & omigraffle5) to my a1047 PCI PowerMac G5 and connected a 1T external and pointed TimeMachine to it … still backing up lol. This has turned out to be a very fun Mac to build up and those games absolutely slay...

Odd number boards are a prevailing board preference for the simple fact you can’t have a tie lol (so they’re expedient & efficient) however I have found when profit motive is not a consideration, an even# board was more cooperative, communicative and open to compromise simply to avoid tie votes...

I don’t care for the odd number. In the bylaws the director of admin/moderators is expected to cast a tie breaking vote in the case a tie occurs. With three board members this is not possible and creates a consolidation of power (two bms in, one by out) that is concerning. I propose that we...

LOL two things I never thought I'd see in one sentence - "pee" and "iMac'. Gets a chuckle every time I read about your adventure with the whizzer iMacG4. :D

For the 2026 PowerPC Challenge, I took my a1047 PowermacG5 and did something similar, partitioning two SSDs into 3 partitions for Lubuntu16.4, Shuriken 10.4.12 and Sorbet 10.5.9. That is a really fun machine now :) My next project with that old linux kernel is to attempt to relink to current...

I've not used Mint but its default Cinnamon layout looks nice & spacious and easy on the eyes with its dark theme. I'm sure I'd like it just fine :) One thing to consider is if you find Cinnamon to be sluggish on that 2012 air, xfce will bring a snappier experience. It is an option with Mint as...
