Hey everyone, Thank you again for your patience during our outage and for waiting for this follow-up! This post has the additional details we promised last week. The site consists of a caching proxy, an application host, an S3-compatible object store, and a database-as-a-service instance, all...

Hey everyone, We're back. and the site should be stable. As ever, thank you so much for your patience on this kind of thing! The site uses a MySQL Database-as-a-Service product from a well known cloud provider. Unfortunately the cloud provider totally biffed our DBaaS instance. We have...

disclaimer: I haven't used any of these projects. Most of those eras are very big. On G3s, I typically run OS 9. OS X 10.3-10.4 does run fine on blue G3s, the more RAM you have the better, it also likes/gets benefit out of bigger/faster disks and replacement graphics cards...

We don't need to go years back in someone's post history to find something to one-up them on. Nowhere better this can go so I'm locking it. Thanks! Best, Cory5412.

Hmm. This is something I'd like to test. In the late '90s (like late 1996/early 1997) most Mac magazines said that, for the most part, 603e/ev and 604e/ev variants performed basically the same, and you should pick based on what else in the system you did/didn't need, e.g. it doesn't make sense...

Worth noting w/ re 1400 vs. 2400/3400: They are radically different architectures, with the 2400/3400 being one or two generations newer, on a much newer and better overall architecture. (this is even though they are basically contemporaries.) The 1400, remember, is a mobile Performa/PMac...

Here's my notes on architecture codenames: https://doku.stenoweb.net/doku.php?id=macdex:architectures Adapted from: https://macinfo.de/hardware/hardware.html Wikipedia has a list of codenames, but these are really product-oriented, rather than architecture-oriented...

Hmm. I didn't see 9 in particular, but here goes. This is long, because I personally think there's a lot of caveats: For 9, I'd kind of say "it depends". 9's biggest deal is that it really likes having about 128-256 megs of RAM, which is easiest and cheapest on G3 era hardware and on fairly...

Just as a sidenote, I absolutely love how many things this applies to. You can pretty much piece together an entire 7.5 install using the 7.1 Finder and System File if you really want to, but I don't know if there's "literally any benefit to that at all" other than saying you did it. (The more...

In addition to all of this, I often turn off printing. Part of what Extension Manager (and whatever was around before it, I think Conflict Catcher may do the same thing) does is let you reboot your Mac with different extension sets. A fairly common use case back in the day was to have different...

Hey All, We'd like to discuss the recent thread for Tony Diaz's estate. We knew Tony personally, which drives some of how we initially moderated it. Unfortunately for everyone involved, it looks like Tony's estate is enduring what happens when someone dies: many family members are involved, and...

All, My triple re-review on this remains in progress but I wanted to add that I apologize so incredibly much to Ried and everyone for posting what was meant to be a private conversation with Ried right on out here into the open. We have "incidents" here on the forum super rarely, and I do want...

Triple re-reviewing this later today.

All, This has been incredibly disappointing. I've been a part of this forum specifically for literally over half my life, more than twenty years, and one of my favorite things about it, the thing that's kept me from quitting the hobby, is by and large we keep our cool and act like the adults...

I'm saying you might, based on what we've seen from everyone else, you should coordinate with a2fan and pauhagstrom to confirm.

Sure, just because it's not your fault doesn't mean you don't potentially have from a legal perspective stolen goods. I'm sorry that this involvement is stressful for you, it's a tough situation and you can tell from a lot of the posts, this has been tough for everyone involved for over a year.

You know to be honest I'm a little surprised you didn't see this coming fifteen million miles away. A collection that big had to belong to someone right? And they were likely big on the scene, right? But we live and we learn. It's not all your fault, it really feels like the administration...

One more note: especially now that we have more info about some of the stuff Tony had. If anyone got anything that wasn't his and "bought it" that doesn't mean you're in the clear and the stuff really does still need to be returned to its correct owners. That sale was fraudulent. Of course, I'm...

This is going to be tough wherever it happens. If y'all want to do this here, which is happening purely becayse you posted it and then Jason Scott redirect everyone else here, that's fine with me. Given that this has been going on over a year I'm not 100% that shutting this down actually helps...

Just by way of vouching - @ried if you're running this, please coordinate with a2fan and @paulhagstrom on returning anything lent to it's rightful owner. Does anyone have an inventory on hand? This is one of those things that's tough to coordinate and I don't want to get in the middle of it...
