This is just a quick info: domain vivapowerpc.tk is not anymore, please update your bookmarks to the new URL: vivapowerpc.eu. Previous domain was lost for reasons beyond my comprehension - one day free .tk domain was transferred to paid mode and as I wasn't willing to pay for obscure top-level domain, I bought a fresh new one. If you visit just vivaPowerPC blog on vivapowerpc.blogspot.com. There is no change for you, but if you use PowerPC blog aggregator (WORLD in top menu), this change will affect you.

TenFourFoxBox 1.0.1 available. As Steven Tyler howls he's Done With Mirrors from my G5's CD, TenFourFoxBox 1.0.1 is available for testing from this totally s3kr1t download location. This is a minor custodial release that bumps the "stealth" user agent to Firefox 52 on macOS Sierra and changes the official map app to OpenStreetMap which has rather better performance. Assuming no problems, it will go live later this week, probably Wednesday Pacific time. Here's a fun link. I am excited to share with you th...

HandBrake for PowerPC Macs. Just today I wanted convert some DVD from the original physical media to something my Android-based HDMI player would play and I discovered that my good old HandBrake 0.9.4 for PowerPC doesn't want to cooperate with the latest PowerPC version of VLC. I can understand that, since VLC 2.0.10 is 2014 and HandBrake is from times when even Apple still supported PowerPC - from 2009. I did a bit of googling and found this build of HandBrake 0.9.5.

Apple introduced the shiny new OS X Yosemite two days ago and we, PowerPC users, are all hipsters now. Why? Because we certainly were using 2D dock, before it was cool. What do you think about the OS X 10.10? Will it make you finally switch? I'm positive, that I will stay unaffected by all its new iOS-ish features. Long live the PowerPC!

Getting my G5 ready for another decade. During my five years with G5, I had only one hardware problem: faulty power supply unit. I bought couple of replacement PSUs on eBay and since then everything is OK. But after reading Cameron's Long life computing. I decided to do something similar for my PowerMac. My to-do list for G5 cleaning was following:. Remove as much dust as possible with canned air. Apply new thermal paste on both CPU's. Buy new heatsink for Radeon 9800Pro. If removing CPUs from the comput...
