Off Topic Discussion / Re: To preserve or to use?
January 04, 2026, 17:48 |
Hey Wove, Happy New Year! Well, again, it depends on what you’re going to use the Quad Core i7 for. I have two Mac mini QC i7 machines in use as daily drivers. One in the office and one in the lab. Best machines I’ve ever owned. However, like my PPC Macs, the longevity is coming down to Firefox support. I have one that’s running Mojave and one that’s running Catalina. You’ll find that the latest OS you can install is Catalina. Firefox is no longer supported on Mojave and I must run FF v.115.xx ESR. This is wreaking all kinds of havoc with mostly banking and financial institution websites (I did use Force Version in FF settings to continue using one of my backing sites which is working for now). The Catalina machine is still supported by FF but will also go ESR v115.xx in March 2026. To continue using Mac OS past my PPC machines, I had to buy the QC i7 machines years ago. Now, just as the PPC machines went delinquent on the WWW, I must upgrade again. A few weeks ago I finally broke down and ordered a Mac mini M4, a HDD dock and a Samsung 1TB NVMe. It’s due to arrive tomorrow. So, if you’re not concerned about browser capability, I say use it till it drops. What am I going to use my two QC i7 machines for? Well. The Catalina machine will still get used out in the lab daily because I don’t do any banking on it but the Mojave machine I’m not sure. Probably an iTunes machine as internet radio still natively works in Mojave. And my 3 old PPC machines will continue to be used for just plain old fun. I also have a MM Dual Core - it sits in the junk pile. |

Alrighty then! I think I have the basic jist of this HotStuff client. I'm going to install this on my Leopard 10.5.8 Mac Mini as it has a way bigger monitor and way higher resolution! However, this so cool that it works on the Q605 too (which is my house office and not in the garage with all my other goodies). Thx Knezz and all those that work so hard on Mac 68K programs. |

Knez, I'm in! Bolkonskij was there to greet me! So, next I'll try to discover all the coolness of this service. Connecting to multiple servers at once sure seems neat. When adding a tracker, i.e., hitracker, what goes in the address field? Sorry, all new to me... 😎 |

@Knezzen The Hotline I was referring to was V1.2.3 for 68k Macs. Thanks for the quick start tips. I'll give it another go. |

I'm sure I'm missing something here... I downloaded the HotStuff client (took 30 minutes to unstuff with a 68040 CPU and 128 m/b of ram) and fired it up and I do not get any visual screen at all. I do get some items up in the menu bar. Also, looking in the folders unpacked, there's nothing pre-populated such as "servers" like HotLine does. Does this client have to be setup from scratch? The screen shot on M/G sure looks a whole better than Hotline. Thanks to Knez for all his hard work! I'm just not sure what to do with it after I fire it up. I certainly don't get this screen... 😕 http://revontulet.org/2025/10/13/cb3608899e994110bedd2f433810c75c.png |

I believe that these changes in browser functionality may be linked to my post regarding “THERE ARE SOME MAJOR ROOT CERTIFICATES THAT ARE BEING ELIMINATED FROM THE INTERNET AND YOU WILL LOSE SOME WEBSITE FUNCTIONALITY” https://system7today.com/forums/index.php?topic=3942.msg18124#msg18124 |

@Bolkonskij It's not that linked images from MG image hosting didn't work for me, the images just no longer display using iCab Version 2.9.9 on the Q605. They do display using iBrowse on the A1200 and A2000. In other words, revontulet.org works fine. |

@Cashed... I can confirm that Google DOES display correctly using my Mac Mini G4 with OSX 10.5.8 Leopard and Safari Version 5.0.6... :-) Pic below. https://i.postimg.cc/MpPFC4Fj/OSX-Google.jpg |

The situation has changed slightly that makes it even more interesting (to quote Moss). I later today checked that my A2000 with Amiga OS3.9 would navigate to Google (with the latest version of AmiSSL - same Version of iBrowse). And NO PROBLEM! So. I’m not really a coder or use the half split method to bifurcate UNIX scripts. However, I’m old yet still love interacting with all my vintage hardware & software and continually checking to see what they can and can’t do. Check out this pic! http://revontulet.org/2025/10/07/f8be30d4f4054c7b9205a4401d363944.jpg |

Interesting that on the same day, Google on both iCab on my Q605 (MAC OS 7.5.5) and iBrowse on my A1200 (Amiga OS 3.5) is no longer supported. Both browsers display; Update Your Browser - Your browser isn't supported anymore. To continue your search, upgrade to a recent version Also, iCab no longer displays linked images from MG image hosting but iBrowse does. Both machines have the correct Date and Time. I know there's no fixing this. At least FrogFind still works! iCab - Version 2.9.9 on Q605 http://revontulet.org/2025/10/07/f05a0aaa1a774f13a7746082039c28ee.jpg iBrowse - Version 3.0a on A1200 http://revontulet.org/2025/10/07/dc559d59c93d423b814e28d12978201e.jpg |

Hardware / Re: Do we have any Vampire V4 Standalone users here?
June 29, 2025, 19:05 |
@Bolkonskij Everything that lauland stated is true. I've been reading everything "VAMP" since it came about. However I would add that the "questionable folks" behind the VAMP are real picky about what software you can even run on it sometimes. They also "borrow" rewritten (legal?) drivers heavily from the folks behind AROS. And then there's VAMP-OS. The VAMP stand alone is also NOT CHEAP. However, I would never dissuade any educated buyer from a purchase. Also, I'll parrot what I say about Amiga "acceleration"... you're still only going to be using the same software that's been around forever - unless you need heavy compilation speed and/or rendering. Anyhoo, HAPPY SUNDAY ALL! 😊 |

If they don't meet Bolkonskij's needs, I'm definitely going to check them out! Thanks Knezzen and Bolkonskij. 😃 J7 |
