Software / Re: A music stream player running on 68k ?
June 19, 2023, 19:13 |
Someone has already made some re-streams, see the comments in the GitHub list. But with a maximum users of 200, it’s maxed out already… |

I can only hope some enterprising person will put a server up to convert the streams in real time. |

Disappointed that the BBC has discontinued many streams in the last few days. Of the old URLs, only the BBC World Service one works: http://stream.live.vc.bbcmedia.co.uk/bbc_world_service The new BBC format looks like this: http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/uk/sbr_med/ak/bbc_radio_one.m3u8 Which I can't get MpegDec to play. Any ideas how to get BBC streaming working again? A list of streaming URLs is here: https://gist.github.com/bpsib/67089b959e4fa898af69fea59ad74bc3 |

Software / Next game for 4 year old?
April 24, 2023, 20:09 |
My four year old enjoyed Mouse Practice to learn how to use a mouse. His next game was Lemmings, which he liked playing the easier levels, and watching me play the higher ones. Any ideas for the next step in four year old gaming? |

Off Topic Discussion / Re: Getting myself lost in time

Quote In a few more weeks I'm gonna buy myself a Walkman and cancel my Youtube account. What tempts me is one of those late generation iPod classics. You can upgrade the HD to make it a high performance SSD (up to 1TB I think), and put thousands of high quality albums on it. You can even put videos (640 x 480), which you can output to a separate monitor with the right cables. Quote all I see there is idiocy masking itself of "progressiveness": "Pacifists" calling for war; Men who claim to be women and vice versa The establishment learnt a lot from opposition to the Iraq War and Occupy Wall Street. They were frightened, and learned to infiltrate the youth, and now instead of marching against war, they are for endless war. And instead of fighting against economic injustice, they fragment into fights about racial and sexual identity. And all the multinationals have exactly the same views, and wave the same flags, as the likes of antifa. |

Off Topic Discussion / Does the Mac make you stupid?
February 23, 2023, 12:09 |
I’m probably too stupid to understand this 1990 article, having used used Macs for 30 years. But it does make a case that by making something very easy, you get stupider. Much like cars make travel easy, but make the body flabby. Turns out computers were less a ‘bicycle for the mind’, but an SUV. Spell checkers, Siri, emojis etc add to this anti-literate trend. We’ve outsourced our mind. https://imgur.io/a/dzlLD |

Operating System / Re: Is it worth trying to get my printer working?
February 20, 2023, 17:19 |
Well, here's what I did to get this working. On the Linux Raspberry Pi that my Sheepshaver/7.5.5 is running on, I installed 'inotify-tools' and 'cups'. 'inotify' lets you perform a command when something changes on your file system. And 'cups' lets you print. I set up cups using this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jK3rFKajb_Q - giving the printer the name "Brother_Laser". Additionally I made my printer the default, since it's the only one I'm going to print to, with this command: Code: [Select] lpoptions -d "Brother_Laser"I edited the etc/rc.local file, putting this function near the top, which checks if any file has been put in the 'printjob' folder: Code: [Select] monitorprint() {... and this at the bottom of rc.local: Code: [Select] su pi -c "mac os7 macpiautostart" &Back on the emulated Mac,I created a couple of folders, on the 'Unix' disk on the desktop - 'printjob' and 'printed'. The restarted everything. Here's how I print. File > Print. Choose 'File' as destination, the Save the '.ps' file to the 'printjob' folder. It will print it and then move the '.ps' file to the 'printed' folder. If you want to print a previously printed '.ps' file, you can just move it back to the 'printjob' folder. You can also copy a '.pdf' file to the 'printjob' folder and it will print without needing to open an app. |

Will give those options a go. The earliest version of Dave I can find (v2) requires System 7.6. Maybe v1 of Dave would work on 7.5.5, but can’t find it. The laserwriter driver lets me print to a PS file, so I might be able to save to a folder on the Unix volume… and this can be watched-for-changes using a Linux app like watchman. Watchman can then send the file to the printer using ‘lpd’ or cups or something. Some vague ideas how to progress. Will keep everyone updated. |

Operating System / Re: Is it worth trying to get my printer working?

OK, just trying that now. It's not practical to connect the printer physically with ethernet cable to my router, so hopefully it will work over Wifi? I downloaded the LaserWriter 8.1.1 driver, and installed. Restarted, and I selected LaserWriter 8 in Chooser. It told me that AppleTalk was inactive, I pressed OK to activate. And now the Chooser has 'LaserWriter 8' selected on the left, but nothing on the right. (the bottom right has Setup greyed out, Background Printing on, AppleTalk Active). I haven't seen a Create button, or anything about selecting a Generic PPD. |

Operating System / Is it worth trying to get my printer working?
February 19, 2023, 13:11 |
Before I dive into the weeds to find if this is possible, would anyone know if it would be possible to get my printer working. It's a 'Brother HL-L2350DW series-AirPrint' b/w laser printer. It prints over Wifi on my modern Mac. Would like it to print from my Raspberry Pi Linux (MacintoshPi) Basilisk II, running System 7.5.5. I'm guessing one possibility would be to send a PostScript file to the 'Unix' mounted disk which appears on the 7.5.5 Desktop, and get Linux to send it to the printer? |

Operating System / Linux / Pi file server possible?
February 17, 2023, 12:21 |
I read the tutorial about connecting to an OS X file server, and it got me wondering.. http://system7today.com/osxfilesharing 1. Would it be possible to set up a fileserver on Linux / Raspberry Pi and connect to it with a System 7 emulator. Either on a separate machine, or on the same machine (running MacintoshPi Basilisk II System 7.5.5 on Raspberry Pi 3, which runs on Linux). 2. Do the HD limits (4GB in my case) apply to File Servers too? Could I, for instance, host ALL my cd images on the File Server. And mount them by double-clicking... do the files on NFS volumes retain the resource fork and creator etc? |

Quote And I therefore wouldn't buy a molehill in a country where I am not allowed to erect a decent fence around it. Perhaps if I were you and lived where you lived I would agree. If you look at the countries which allow Right to Roam - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_to_roam - they are relatively homogenous. They don't have high crime. There is high trust. Without that, you probably need fences and guns. |

Operating System / Delayed revelations
February 16, 2023, 23:35 |
I recently watched a video yesterday on MacRumors.com, about "10 Mac Tips to Make Your Life Easier": https://www.macrumors.com/2023/02/14/10-macos-tips-make-life-easier/ One of the tips was about checking the Stationery Pad checkbox in a file's Get Info panel. This makes the file into a template - ie, when you open the file, it will copy it first, then open it. "That's great," I thought. Those clever guys at Cupertino have just solved another problem for us. Another time-saving improvement! And then today, I'm wrangling with my System 7 emulator setup, and I get info on a file. And the Stationery Pad checkbox is there! It was there all the time. I've been using a Mac for about 30 years - System 7 / Quark Express 3.3 etc... and I never knew it was there. |
