I turned my Octane into a bad ass workstation for cruising the deep web :D
Is there a way to browse SSL websites on this version of IRIX?
Yup. We ported netsurf to IRIX a while ago which is a nice little browser that does SSL.
It’s pretty skippy for a 20 year old machine. It’s an octane 2 with a 400 Mhz processor.
awesome! are you running irix or linux ?
Oh dear, the mushrooms in the background!!! I think I still have that picture somewhere! :D
I remember having this wallpaper back in the early 00s. Really cool wallpaper :)
AHAHA. Gotta have the digital blasphemy background for the late 90s vibe!
I have 2 octane’s. Both would be better utilized as boat anchors. Cool to see one working!
Well, git 'em fixed!
I would like to, that’s why I bought them lol. It’s just that those fragile connectors kinda freak me out and from what I read I need a special monitor? I don’t know too much about SGI machines since most of my collection are IBM/IBM compats.
What web browser is that?
NetSurf we ported it to IRIX a while ago :D
