Onyx deskside computer with Indy on top. CRT next to it.

I'm still waiting for Peach to show up

Yes! 😆 We also had a little x86 "Windows server corner" in the server room, which looked like a chaotic LAN party compared to the rest of the room with mostly SUN and IBM (SP2) gear.

Photoshop 3.0 for IRIX, on SiliconGraphics Octane2 💎

i miss the early internet. people were like “you gotta see this dude. this cat sure is long.” and they were right. it was really long. it never shoulda gotten any more complicated than that.

I love the moment when all 16 MIPS R14k CPUs kick in 😍💎 #SiliconGraphics #IRIX

I've created a smol X11 motif demo for fun.

Cool! I also ran a BBS on OS/2 back in the days ❤️

Someone should send this Win98 Plus wallpaper to bunnie:studios blog for the "Name that ware" category, so we can finally find out what kind of boards these are

When you power up your #SiliconGraphics Onyx ⚡🔥

Iris Indigo Coffee machine. Genuine product, distributed by SiliconGraphics Germany.

Good morning! ☕

(This is not a blasphemy mod. It was a product sold by SiliconGraphics in Germany. There is even a spec sheet for the Espressigo. Ask google if you don't believe me)

Gnuuy Lynnux? 🤔

It's Origin Friday, and there's an app for that 📱

Yes, it was in the 90s BBS/FidoNet era.

iirc it's either on 'Onyx rolls' or 'Onyx greatest hits' CD

Hi 👋😁 my main account is still on fediverse. signed up here to see if there are still people from the old birdsite days who haven't fled to mastodon.
SGI emulator? Are you aware of SGI emulation in MAME? It can emulate an Indy pretty well now (afaik also some other IP boards but still experimental)

terminal windows show gcc output and 16 CPUs at 100%. 2.07 kw/h

Much better now! Origin300 uses all 16 numalinked CPUs for compiling AND runs on 100% solar power ☀️ Sustainable SGI #IRIX 😎

Using gcc. Yes, it's not using all available CPUs. But anyway, it's more extensive than I thought.

remote terminal windows. one shows CPU load of origin300. another one in the background shows compiler output messages.

Compiling cmake on #IRIX takes forever ⏳
