PowerPC inside logo for fun

https://imgur.com/5Y53yLI I made a PowerPC inside logo a while ago that I thought my fellow geeks might find interesting. Print this on a paper and slap it on your computers or whatever. Contact me in case you want a printed sticker. Regards /M

What's the status of hfsprogs?

Heya I'm toying around a bit with hfsprogs in a virtual machine and I wonder if anyone else has any experience with it? Is it terribly buggy or is it just me having bad luck? Mounting a HFS partition and writing to it seems to work alright but when I try to unmount the partition it hangs. I've

Midori 6

I don't have my ppc64 up and running at the moment, have anyone tried compiling Midori 6 and checked how it runs for us? https://www.midori-browser.org/2018/10/31/all-for-one-one-for-all/

Where did pmac-utils go?

How to read CPU temp from TAU?

Hi How do you read the cpu temperature from TAU on an iMac mini G4 (MPC7447a)? According to /boot/config-4.16.0-1-powerpc it is compiled with TAU on CONFIG_TAU=y but I can't find a way to read it. I've tried with lm-sensors but no go there. Regards /M
