Setting up a timekeeping server with a Power Macintosh (whatroute.net)
I have a Power Mac G4 MDD that for the last 5 years has been sitting idle and gathering dust (literally). I have always liked the machine, initially because at the time I acquired it, it would eat the lunch of any comparable machine in its price range and secondly, it is just so well engineered. No screws to open the case, just fold down the door. Disks are mounted in easy to remove carriers, etc etc.

An Update on Apple M1/M2 GPU Drivers (lwn.net)
The kernel graphics driver for the Apple M1 and M2 GPUs is, rather famously, written in Rust, but it has achieved conformance with various graphics standards, which is also noteworthy.
