Retiring Pismo

Sorry, I will clarify - Apple very quickly getting rid of PowerPC where as Amiga never got rid of PowerPC and they still use it to this day. I don’t know much about AmigaOS, all I know is that it is a supported OS and runs on PPC processors and that it would be nice if they ported a Mac PPC version.
It was an idea since their OS runs on PowerPC processors.

Amiga never got out of PPC because Amiga died as a mainstream platform before it came to the end of the road for PPC. Since WinUAE exists, it would have been inevitable that Amiga would have moved onto Intel sooner or later, if it had continued, simply for the sake of economics.

Classila has TLS as all the other browsers did - this is just an attempt to rule over the people's wants and desires. Trust me, i HATE Chrome.

Explain. How do I use this if i want to use Classila in OS 9 ? Or, even good working older safari versions. I still like my idea of declaring war on those who take away our internet rights to use what we want and how. Security does not matter to me at all, really. because I am behind firewalls.

Sorry, I didn't mean to scream. I am just against TOTALITARIANISM OF THE WEB by google and those who want to make old good, functioning web browsers obsolete. What if I only had a windows xp machine or windows 2000 machine ? I would be SOL. No, I want action and want to start a protest against this TLS apocalypse - if Christ conquered death, then we can conquer this as people of the net.

Funny, in 1995 according to this:

1995

The original HTTPS protocol was released in 1995. Dubbed Secure Socket Layer, or SSL for short, it enabled companies to handle credit card transactions online by protecting your payment details and helping to prove that the merchants you visited were who they said they were.

And now they want an apocalypse or already got one ?

You can still get by on XP or windows 2K as there is a handful of modern web browsers which are still supported on XP (and work on windows 2000 with kernel ex) such as 360 chromium browser.

I'm not in front of my main computer at the moment so I can't give you perfect step by step instructions (maybe a kind soul on this board can jump in and do it?) but if you have a Linux computer available, say a Raspberry Pi or similar, it should be straightforward if you spend some time on it.

There's an install guide for it here: https://github.com/atauenis/webone/wiki/Linux-installation

The steps seem to be
1. Download the install package
2. Install some dependencies
3. Edit the config file
4. Start it

Then, on your classic Mac, in your browser of choice, you'd set the IP address of your Linux computer running this thing as the proxy server and browse away.

Any website you visit with modern security protocols will get processed by the proxy server and it will serve them to your classic browser in a way it can understand.

Classic computers are a bit like classic cars, if you want to entertain that comparison. You need to put in a bit of effort to keep them in good working condition, and you'll find that as time moves on, certain things may not work as designed anymore. For example, radio is largely going digital and the analog stations will be switched off at some point. Then you need to install a converter box so your old analog radio can still get the digital stations. It's a similar story with old browsers and TLS in this case.

How well does proxy server work for old browsers like IE5?

It was an idea since their OS runs on PowerPC processors.

Just to be clear, you’re attaching greater importance to the instruction set than the software you are running?

I.e. you’d rather run an OS you’ve never used on a PowerPPC processor than the OS of your choice on a computer with an Intel processor that is otherwise identical?
