Strange behavior of my PowerMac G5 - it doesn't boot anymore
Anyone who reads my blog from time to time is familiar with my PowerMac setup. I have two SSDs connected to the internal SATA ports: a 512 GB SATA SSD for Mac OS X 10.5 and a 128 GB SSD for Linux. I also have an NVMe SSD connected to the internal PCI Express x4 port.
New Version of TerminalDrome
After nine long months of laziness and overindulgence, I finally sat down again to work on my beautiful terminal client for Navidrome, TerminalDrome, and implemented a few bug fixes. I also made sure it continues to run everywhere and improved the code quality a bit.
I am proud to announce TerminalDrome 0.2.3 for your pleasure.
Poole / Hyde for Bashblog
So today I thought about my small apfelhammer.de Powermac G5 Weblog and what else can I do to have more fun with it. And than I decided to try out 11ty or another cool shiny Static Site Generator I barely used in for a while and after a little research, I thought Poole and from this Hyde is still in 2026 a great Blog Theme when one only want to blog and share thoughts so I ported the Hyde Theme to my Bashblog Engine and changed nothing.
And this is now what you see - and what you get. Even with Dark Mode and I hope everything is doing quite well. Webmention Support is also in my Bashblog like ISSO Commenting System. This makes my Bashblog a fully featured modern CMS :-)
PowerFox - A modern browser for PowerPC Macs (Mac OS X 10.5)
I just stumbled across a new browser that promises to bring a current version of Firefox to Mac OS X 10.5 PowerPC (and Intel).
Attentive readers of my weblog will know that I have a great passion for trying out modern browsers, usually paired with modern Linux PPC distributions, on my PowerPC 64-Bit PowerMac G5 and integrating them into my daily routine. Of course, this is only possible to a limited extent with a computer from 2005, but it is possible.
Epiphany on Powermac G5 Linux
I just played around a little bit and found out that Gnome Browser Project Epiphany (Gnome Web) is also installable within Arch Linux for PowerPC on my Ppwermac G5. I tried out just to see that it works. But it soon crashes, because OpenGL Rendering is broken. But when you start the Browser in a Terminal with the URL behind, like this:

Welcome to the new server
This article is mainly because I want to know when the server movement is done. I want to say I am moving with apfelhammer to another server, not the server to another place. I want to leave the old server behind me.
If you can read this post, you are on the new server :-) Otherwise, DNS is cached.

Gaming on my Powermac G5
My Powermac was a Powerbeast back in the days, but for gaming, Macs are always and forever the wrong choice, til today. But with the stock NVIDIA GeForce 6600 LE I am able to play Doom 3 (one of my favourite Ego-Shooters of all time) on low settings or Quake III Arena pretty good and pretty fast.
New Firefox 145 and the 32 Bit Build
Master hacker René Rebe, known to everyone for T2/SDE Linux, writes in a recent article about the media's proclamation of the end of 32-bit Firefox—and verifies this claim on his own system.
Of course, the world isn't black and white, and René describes how, although...
