  I've started to add BeOS to Infinite Mac - you can see the first few versions on https://infinitemac.org/?filter=beos Not having been much of a user back in the day, I'm looking for suggestions of software to make sure to include, or pointers to canonical archives (is there a Be version of the Macintosh Garden?)

  I've switched over Infinite Mac's classic Mac emulation to @twvd@mastodon.social's awesome Snow, which unblocks A/UX emulation: https://infinitemac.org/?filter=aux There's a behind-the-scenes blog post at https://blog.persistent.info/2026/09/infinite-mac-snow-and-aux.html detailing this and other site updates.

  I'm starting to add A/UX to Infinite Mac (thanks to the awesome Snow emulator). An early version (with a few releases) is available at https://infinitemac.org/?filter=aux Would appreciate any leads for 1.0 or 1.0.1 install media (or pre-installed images), and any tidbits or notable software that I should consider including. This is all unfamiliar territory for me (outside of "It's a UNIX system! I know this!").

  Two new tools on https://www.streamspigot.com/: - Sky Feeder generates a feed of your Bluesky timeline - Tweeter Feeder generates per-account feeds for that other site Together with the existing Masto Feeder tool, this lets me follow everything in my feed reader, continuing to allow me pretend to live in 2011. And there's a blog post with some behind-the-scenes details (spoiler: agents were involved) and some additional tips (finally found a use for the JSON Feed format): https://blog...

  I’d spotted a few “Infinite HDs” lurking in screenshots in David Pogue’s _Apple: The First 50 Years_ - it was great to see this callout at the end.

  The nice thing about making your own weather app is that you can make features just for yourself. I'd always wanted to know every morning if work (nominally 45 miles away, but an entirely different climate) had different weather, and now I can.

  @codingpanic Snow just got A/UX booting (https://mastodon.social/@twvd/116827402464776052) and it works in the Infinite Mac version too: https://infinitemac.org/run?disk=A%2FUX+3.1.1 (not officially launched yet)

  I’ve expanded Infinite Mac to cover NeXT operating systems, with the help of the Previous emulator. See https://infinitemac.org/?filter=next for all releases between 1988 and 1997, and https://blog.persistent.info/2024/03/infinite-mac-nextstep.html for tidbits about the porting work and other site updates. And to keep things in the #MARCHintosh spirit, you can use the Daydream/Darkmatter emulator to run System 7 on the emulated NeXT hardware and so have a replica of one of the more esoteric com...
