    firefox is heavy, even "lightweight" forks. it is a fully fledged webbrowser which simply doesn't come cheap. what you could have tried instead are falkon(more feature-rich but still lighter), dillo(very bare-bones), or lynx (command line web browser)

    I love how many weird projects that serve no practical purposes other than "because it's cool" exist for old consoles, especially the Wii. I installed Linux on my Wii and the experience waa absolutely unbearable. Download speeds were nonexistent. Just updating the repositories took several minutes. Pretty much anything I wanted to do wouldn't really work because the Wii was too slow or the screen was too small or something. Looking forward to seeing if NetBSD is any better, maybe I'll try it as well!

      I can't speak firsthand for the Wii, but I had a similar experience with Linux on a 1GHz G4 as you, and had a much better time when I tried FreeBSD on it.
      So the BSDs do seem to be able to manage lower powered systems better, maybe has to do with being a microkernel rather than a monolithic kernel like Linux is?

      Good cards can handle it for a while. Cheap cards not so much.
      Even a good quality Samsung card may only last a few thousand cycles. The controller's ability to shuffle writes around is what keeps them lasting longer. One long, huge write across the card every day is less damaging than if you've filled the card up with static content, then hammer a 500mb segment over and over every minute.

    NetBSD defines "supported hw" and "runs good!" in very .... abstract and optimistic way.
    Essentially if a machine boots and appears to stay up. I don't think it's really an OS designed with end-users in mind - very important in bridging EOL or exotic HW into a second open-source life though.

    The Nintendo Wii can do everything when you install Homebrew on it. A Unix/Linux device? You got it! A media player capable of playing videos, music and (on older Wiis) DVDs? It sure can do that! An FTP server? It’s a fine one at that! A current day Pizza ordering device? Why not! And it plays games and Homebrew features as well! What can’t this Wii do?
    Once you Homebrew a Wii, I can’t think of a reason why you would want to uninstall Homebrew on the Wii after it’s on the device?

      We tried DVDs on one Wii for the purposes of swapping a hardware DVD player out for a game+DVD unit in one spot... It played the DVD, sort of. But the menu was broken and the playback was very low frame rate.
      That was a really long time ago, so maybe it improved since. The DVD drive was fine - I ripped quite a few games with that same drive.

What you're referring to as an iPad, is in fact, a tablet, or as I've recently taken to calling it, a tablet computer. iPad is not a synonym for tablet, but rather a brand name of a specific tablet made by Apple. There are many other manufacturers of tablets, just like there are many other manufacturers of personal computers besides Apple.

    Aw man, you where actually looking at bastet (bastard tetris), which works on the CLI and is quite fun: It actually always guesses which one is going to be the worst piece to pull out.
    For web browsing you could do something like lynx, which is CLI-text only. You can also use links, which in both CLI and X can display images.
    And I don't know, there are zillions of terminal applications that can make this a daily driver: Mail clients like alpine or mutt, image and PDF viewers like ida and fbgs (all come with the fbi package), nice file managers like mc (midnight commander), video playing with mplayer (which can also be used to record with a webcam if you plug it one, and can also pass video into aalib for ascii output videos or cam), music with moc.... So many possibilities!

    Epiphany, Lynx or net surf would have been better browser choices. Probably also slow though. Interestingly I had a Browser for the Wii (an official thing) that worked pretty well back in the day.

    Is using a wii for a minecraft server valid? is it worth it at all?

    • @99domini99
      @99domini99 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      No, not at all. The Wii has a total of 88mb of ram and a highly antiquated PowerPC CPU. It is not capable of running a Minecraft server at all.

    It might run on a wii u, and since that uses a vm for wii backwards compatibility... you might get around the memory issues.

    A bit upset you didn't host a webserver on it. Be fun to see how many simultaneous connections it could handle. I wonder how Doom would run on it? It couldn't be _that_ bad, right? Right? I also wonder if the slowdowns were due to swap being used? I wonder what the speed of the SD Card reader is? Also also, I wonder how compiling stuff on it would be.
