How many rubles is it for VIP? Though, here we use Ukrainian HRY, we still can pay and have it transferred as rubles.
Today, I come back to Lviv after my father died in Ivano-Frankivs'k and now start to install Sorbet Leopard, but when I run maintenance it ask me for password. I am not knowing what is password, can someone assist ? Other than this, I install is and I like what I see.
You mean вуха.. 3 ears here."2yxa" is transliteration for "2 ears" here
Fixed Debian grub partition (by some unknown reason it became a bit corrupted & Disk Utility couldn't handle this). So backed about all files & made a new (mkfs.hfs). Restored all files & changed attribs for bootability ("blessed" ). Now thinking about Clonezilla, to backup some OSes to OpenMediaVault server. (Gentoo among first in line ).

I had a G3 900 about 11 years ago that was near mint, I sold it on craigslist for some dumb reason. I am kicking myself for getting rid of a bunch of old apple gear when I moved from H town to SA. This photo made my afternoon.
I bought a wired Mighty Mouse at Goodwill Electronics today for 5.99. It was really trashed and dirty, I cleaned it up with a Clorox wipe and it looks great again. Tried it out on my PB 5,2 and its working great. I am kinda confused by why the cord is only 12" long. I was thinking of using it with my Quicksilver but I'll need an extension. In other PPC news, I am moving files via FW800 to a backup disc and am going redo the PowerBook. I was trying out Sorbet but I'm having bugs and thinking of going 10.2.8 for a while to relive the best of 2004 for the rest of the weekend.
I used my iBook for making a mosaic..a digital mosaic.
While having a tidy up of clutter recently I came across an old 'Corel Painter' magazine..issue 6.
It has a tutorial on making mosaic art..and I remembered back in 2007, that was the reason I bought it. I didn't have much luck making it work then... but thanks to Z790 and Sorbet I thought Id have another go.
Maybe Ive got a little smarter since then..as its working.
This is my progress so far...with the background still to do:

That reminds me - Ive got a mighty mouse that came with my 17 inch iMac I have to pull apart and clean.
@mortlocli Nice work, I always enjoy seeing creative stuff like this - and even more so when it's accomplished on supposedly obsolete hardware... Will you show us the finished version when it's completed?
I certainly will..now, Short. Thanks for the interest!!
I found the process not at all wot I expected. Thought it was going to be a filter and a single click to make it happen.. but you clone the image, set the mosaic settings, do the outline, then fill it in with the tiles following the cursor guided via the mouse. So has a 'done by hand' aspect ie it would be different each time one did it.

That is so rather clever, Drone...who would have thought ??
Heck I think I may have had one of those phones..maybe still do?

The short cord is meant to connect to the keyboard's USB-socket to reduce cable clutter on the desk.
Anekdote: there were two versions of the old graphite hockey-puck-mouse: an iMac-G3-version with a short cable, which was meant to be connect to the graphite-keyboard on the desk an then another PowerMacG4-Sawtooth-version with a long cable, that was meant to be connected directly to the PowerMac beneath the desk.
That makes sense. I don't have one of those tho. It works fine on my books tho.
I had to see whether the Ingress intel map feature still existed and also whether I could still view it on an older-standard browser in this, the end of 2021.
The answer would be a resounding “you betcha”:
The co-ordinates point (portal) plotting is fairly slow, as expected for a 1.67GHz, single-core CPU without hardware graphics acceleration, but it’s also really nice to see the makers of the game haven’t messed with this aspect of the game since its 2012 inception (unlike their handheld game console — the “scanner” — which is just a battery-vampire disaster).

Jeepers - sounds a massive task!!Started (yesterday) Gentoo uprade. Around 450 packages, at morning it was busy with rust (160+)
Not really - it's how gentoo works. Skip more than pair of months of updates & you'll find quite a big pile of updates (& pray it wouldn't grab some dependency hell
). I hope current upgrade wouldn't brake in the middle (even with --keep-going switch) .
This year Linux Format magazine had a small article on Gentoo, claiming it to be one of the faster distributions out there. When I had a look on their web site, a guy had asked about running it on a PPC. Their response seemed to be that on a PPC it would be more trouble than what it was worth...if I remember right.
But you Tra, seem to be coping with it ok??
