Finally got that Mac Clone, but it seems to be finicky, it wouldn’t chime. Maybe have to do with the PRAM, but I put a new battery. May have to clean the contacts and reseat everything. Maybe it’s time to replace the PSU too since it can use a regular ATX PSU (pinouts are the same from reading the posts on 68kmla and tinkerdifferent)

Noticed the cache card is missing, so I probably need to install the G3 accelerator card.

@yon I got this SATA card for the Power Computing clone that is coming soon, and this is practically the easiest card to flash, to make it work on a Mac. Just in case if you are interested.

From the looks of it, the cron task to remove the temp files, which accumulates. Usually, these files should get removed automatically. Of course, sometimes the file never get deleted, which accumulates and can fill up the drive and crash the server.

Now, there is a daily cron job that removes the files if they are still there, they will get removed at midnight. This will hopefully prevent the server from going down in the future because of disk space because of temp files not getting removed.

@anianimalsmoe It seems that this upcoming anime will have a good number of girls with fang.

Sasayaku You ni Koi wo Utau Production Problems (Full Text)

While not posted here on the Fediverse, a user on the :deadbird: site has gotten in contact with a user to leak the problems the staff are working with while producing the anime. (Note: Some spelling corrections, source from Patstar_1999, OCR in text form) I may write a follow up editorial post on this over on my main blog at a future date.

Now updated with rebuttals.

With the Japanese version of Magia Record shutting down at the end of July, here is my editorial I wrote a few years back on the gripes of Gacha/Live services games.

I think Uma Musume will be the last one I'm playing. I think I'm going to stick with actual games for now on that won't poof in thin air.

Ordered a SATA PCI adapter, the Rabbit Hole Computing one that is easy to flash with the Firmtek firmware to make it bootable for Mac OS 9 or lower. I plan to replace the PSU with the Corsair one in the PowerCenter 150 since it basically uses an off the shelf ATX PSU.

Yep, we are going to make a semi-extreme build, putting in actual SSD, maxing out the RAM, adding a fast video card, and a G3 accelerator. Sourcing the 128 MB 5V FPM DIMM RAM sticks might be the hard to find, without paying a lot for them.

@yon Apparently, I bought a Mac Clone off a Retro Mac forum. Not an 8600/9600, but one of those Power Computing Mac clones, and it is one of those models that used the same processor daughter card despite the logic board being based off a Power Macintosh 7200 design.

More on it later, but it looks like the RAM is the only thing I need to get since it has a SCSI2SD, although is it better to use a BlueSCSI one instead?

Also, it supports BeOS.

chikorita157, 9 days ago to random

No wonder @yon regrets having an iPad. iPadOS is a mess, although I use an iPad and it’s okay for my uses. Still, not finding a compelling reason to upgrade to an M4, when an M1 does 100% what I do, but without an OLED screen. Even the M1 is still overkill.

Seems that wildcard support for antennas in Sharkey is finally added. I will eventually update the software on Sakurajima Social to add the most recent updates

This is what we need, more consolidation, which will lead to higher prices.

Whelp, it seems that Hitori Azone doll sold out. While I preorded it when it opened, it didn’t take too long for it to sell out.

I guess a good number of fans really looking forward to this Azone doll, myself included.

So, I made this cursed thing in Mac OS 8.1 in Infinite Mac.

It’s a mishmash of the System 7.6.1 Finder, with Appearance Extension downgraded to allow one to use the old appearance)

I found what the issue that caused Sakurajima Social to went down. Apparently, Redis claims that it ran out of disk space, but I see tons of free space, which only makes me more perplexed as to what causes this to happen. Needs more investigation, but I have one clue as to why it's doing it.

Whay you think, @yon

Apparently, there is a refresh of the ROG Ally with more RAM. I kind of wish the Ally had a USB 4 port instead of that proprietary port for GPUs as it's a lot easier and perhaps cheaper to get a Thunderbolt 3 eGPU enclosure and slap an AMD or Nvidia GPU.

Not that I plan on upgrading, seems more like a sidegrade as it's using the same APU, but have slightly more RAM.

And... the settings app is getting reworked again in macOS 15.

How about change it back to the way it was in macOS 12.
