    FreeBSD on PowerMac G5?

    Anyone has an experience? I wanna try installing it as a second system. Instructions online appear to be pre-historic, while PowerPC (incl. ppc64) should be fully supported in the latest FreeBSD 13.

    Performa 5215CD No Video

    Got a Performa 5215CD and when I boot it up I get fan spin and drive noise but no video. The CD drive even opens up. When I take out the board there is no damage and other than a fine layer of dust, it looks like new. What could be the problem here? If it needs a recap, where can I find an in...

    What do we need to build a modern WebKit-based browser?

    TFF is no more, and anyway FF is grumpy. How about building a modern Webkit-based browser? To be honest, I do not yet conceive the difficulty involved. However, as a first step, I did fix building all essential dependencies for WebKit2-gtk for PowerPC, including the latest versions of gstreamer1...

    How to share wifi from iOS 15?

    While this is not strictly PPC problem but rather common to old OS, I guess I have higher chances to get a reply here. After iOS 15.3.1 update iPhone hotspot began to be detected on 10.6 and lower as 802.1x network, and Mac consequently asks for Username/Password, while in reality of course no...

    llvm and ld64 for ppc64 on Leopard

    I dunno if this info is gonna be of value for anyone, but just in case: if you want to build software on Leopard for ppc64 with Macports or otherwise, you will likely bump into a problem with llvm, which is required for ld64 (native Xcode one won't work for new stuff) and has to be of the same...
