    What did you cook today?

    I grew up on a farm too. Loved that life. Tacos were made. I ended up taking the belly to a crispy chicharrones. Tossed em with a NM Chimayo red chile sauce and ate them with warm toasted tortillas.

    Spoken like a true Maine-iac. I love a good bowl of oatmeal. :)

    What did you cook today?

    I ran into some clearance chix skewers and pork belly - the skewers were effectively $0.50 cents a skewer and the pork belly (streaky bacon in fat cube form for my Euro friends) about 2.75 a pound. I couldn’t pass that up so I made some salad bentos for my wife this week (I’m off today) and am...

    What did you do to your computer today?

    Had some time today to finish setting up my kids imac with MX25.1 and manual parental controls. 1. Set up accounts for each child with customized docks. 2. Created SSBs using firessb for each of what they have access to. 3. Updated DNS at the system level to block adult content on their...

    Lenovo Thinkpad E495 - E-Waste Rescue!

    Cool save. I used one of the Intel variants at work for a few years & was quite happy with it. I wanted to keep it but work made me swap it out with a w11 lenovo yoga which comparatively did not feel nearly as good. I did not care for its fit & finish & the battery could not make a full 8hr work...

    Finally recovered an old MDD G4

    I have seen a number of reports of warped MDD daughter cards over the last couple years. I wonder if this install goof is what is happening?

    Window reflective film installation

    For years in the summer I’ve been cooked alive in my western facing kitchen - not by actual cooking but from insane west facing summer sun. After midday, this side of the house just cooks and my kitchen would get super heated so I decided to try out some Amazon special max reflective shade film...

    What did you do to your computer today?

    I have been fine tuning MX25 on my boy's early 2009 24" Imac 9,1. The point as spoken to earlier is to create a safe environment and employ basic Parental controls within MX25.1 due to limitations of El Cap. To this end, most recently I figured out how to create SSBs in MX using Firefox's...

    What did you do to your computer today?

    I went ahead and installed MX25 on my kiddos 2009 imac for improved and more nuanced parental controls as elcaps is pretty broken at this point. This act led to the adventure below: lol :D TL;DR If you're running MX25 on a legacy Intel Macintosh and you're getting an ACPI boot...

    What did you do to your computer today?

    Huh I just realized something cool with Pithos pandora front end for Linux. When you stream with a free Pandora account using Pithos, that account with ads becomes ad-free. I’ve been streaming for days non stop and have yet to hear a single ad.

    VCF Pacific Northwest 2026

    I live too far away from all the vcf events to make attending workable (at least for now) so my vicarious living relies completely on everyone here posting their attendance pictures and videos :D

    2026 PowerPC Challenge: the user's Unofficial thread

    Haha DANA DOES STUFF! :D Yeah man I totally get it. C19 gave everyone a lot of time to do this stuff and as everything fired back up, time was not so freely available. All good, even great things must come to an end. I watched start up disk is full a couple times but I thought it moved away from...

    2026 PowerPC Challenge: the user's Unofficial thread

    Yeah that's my understanding as well. I really miss Mac-Yak and TinkerDifferent was like an extension of that community in so many ways as so many of those guys are here and played formative roles in its creation. To the chagrin of my wife, I would sit down in my super comfy lazy-boy with a soda...

    Half Life for PowerPC Macs

    SRP has been crushing it with new PPC apps lately. He also authored a PowerPC Plex/media front end player which works well on my pmG5 :) I have this HL port on the list and am pumped to play through it but all my retro macs are unplugged and my office in the process of being emptied out for a...

    Can't connect to TrueNAS Samba share on Mac OS X

    Tiger only supports up to 2.2T so while it might see a larger drive, it’s going to have problems accessing it. I have a 2T share for my old PPC macs and they see & connect to it without issue. In regards to Snow Leopard looks like you already enabled legacy smb1 so that’s set. 1.) Is TrueNAS...
