| Use an eMac running Tiger via VNC |
Posted by: Mike Richardson on 2008-08-04 21:34:25
I'm super bored and I have no other use for this eMac right now.
So why not let people log into it with VNC and mess around with OS X?
75.17.80.165
port 5901 (display 1)
No password. Don't do anything illegal. I can see everything you do since it's in my living room.

Hmm... I can't connect through any client I try.

I think if someone else is on it you may not connect. So try again later.

The eMac is down for the night. The server kept crashing anyway. I'll try another server tomorrow.

This is neat, I need to install a VNC client on my machine first. There needs to be more things like this.

Apparently Vine Server has a monopoly on suitable VNC servers for Mac OS X. So I put it back online with Vine Server, we'll see if it crashes again.

In 10.4 and 10.5 there is a VNC server built in. Go to system prefs, Sharing, and I believe you can enable it in the options for Apple Remote Desktop.

You could make a simple password like 1211 or 0000

Looked fun.

It's running solidly now. Feel free to log on. I'll leave it up probably for a while. I don't have any use for the eMac right now.
It's a 1.42 GHz, the fastest eMac made. Only 512 MB of RAM right now but I want to get it up to 1 GB.

I logged on with Chicken Of The VNC, but since I'm using an Hackintosh, the keyboard was messed up and when I tried making a folder, it made quite a few folder copies.

Heh.
I was going to say "Hello from QuadSix50" in TextEdit, but I was getting strange characters for some reason. Don't know if it was on my end using Remote Desktop Viewer in Ubuntu or if something was changed on the Mac. 😛

Not trying to be a killjoy, just asking.
