[[QEMU]] can emulate the '''PowerPC''' architecture. It is able to emulate several machines which can each run a handful of operating systems, which will be documented below.  
The '''[[CollabVM]] Discord''' (or CVMDSC for short) is  the central place to talk about [[CollabVM]] and [[CollabVM]] [[Forkies|accessories]]. It was first created by [[Vanilla|Novella]] in September 2016, but was later transferred to [[Dartz]] and made official. In the near-end of December 2018 due to eDrama™, the Discord Server officially closed down, and you can only enter with a private invite.  


==Platforms==
The server remained fairly small, both servers being less than 100 members.
The following machines can be emulated. To see a full list type <code>qemu-system-ppc --M help</code>.

Then in mid December 2019, the server reopened. Then on September 24th 2020, the Discord got terminated for hacking and the CollabVM Discord 2 was created, and then the server went public and people started joining it left and right. [http://computernewb.com/collab-vm/ You can join the server by going to CollabVM and then clicking the Discord link on the navbar]. On October 2020, a verification system was devised to keep people who don't comply with Rule #4 and other various undesirable entities out of the server.

The reason why the old verification system was canned because it was hard to keep up with everything. Keep in mind that you <b>have</b> to say your age, or else you get kicked from the server.

===IBM RS/6000 7020 (40p)===
[[File:40p.jpg|thumb|250px]]
Workstation from ~1994. QEMU emulates the following peripherals for this machine:


*PCI bridge
== Moderation ==
*PCI VGA compatible card with VESA Bochs Extensions
The Discord is moderated by a moderation team which consists of the following people: [[Technoturnovers]], [[CHOCOLATEMAN]], [[Hildaboo]], [[modeco80]] and [[Mv|mv]]. The verification team consists of mostly the same people in the moderation team.
*2 IDE interfaces with hard disk and CD-ROM support
*Floppy disk
*PCnet network adapters
*Serial port
*PREP Non Volatile RAM
*PC compatible keyboard and mouse.


To start a very simple emulation that'll boot into OpenBIOS:
Almost every moderator has access to the [[Admin Panel]] and the exclusive moderator channels. Since Dartz is never online and only comes on once every blue moon, all of the decisions and moderation are done in a very anarchy-like manner by general consensus. Essentially, if everyone hates you, you get b&. And oh, you will never be admin. Ever.

Revision as of 17:58, 8 May 2023

The CollabVM Discord (or CVMDSC for short) is the central place to talk about CollabVM and CollabVM accessories. It was first created by Novella in September 2016, but was later transferred to Dartz and made official. In the near-end of December 2018 due to eDrama™, the Discord Server officially closed down, and you can only enter with a private invite.

The server remained fairly small, both servers being less than 100 members.

Then in mid December 2019, the server reopened. Then on September 24th 2020, the Discord got terminated for hacking and the CollabVM Discord 2 was created, and then the server went public and people started joining it left and right. You can join the server by going to CollabVM and then clicking the Discord link on the navbar. On October 2020, a verification system was devised to keep people who don't comply with Rule #4 and other various undesirable entities out of the server. But in 2023, the old verification system was decommissioned and replaced with a new, better verification system based on a ticket bot. The reason why the old verification system was canned because it was hard to keep up with everything. Keep in mind that you have to say your age, or else you get kicked from the server.

Currently there are almost over 800 members in the server.

Moderation

The Discord is moderated by a moderation team which consists of the following people: Technoturnovers, CHOCOLATEMAN, Hildaboo, modeco80 and mv. The verification team consists of mostly the same people in the moderation team.

Almost every moderator has access to the Admin Panel and the exclusive moderator channels. Since Dartz is never online and only comes on once every blue moon, all of the decisions and moderation are done in a very anarchy-like manner by general consensus. Essentially, if everyone hates you, you get b&. And oh, you will never be admin. Ever.

Roles

Infraction Roles

There are exactly 3 infraction (warning) roles in total:

 
W1
 
W2
 
W3

After you have all of the infraction roles, you will end up getting a specific punishment. Usually, you'll get unverified or kicked, or banned if you've been really bad. You can sometimes get a second chance if you appeal, but depending on what you did, who you are, the mood of the moderation team it may not work out well for you.

If you obtain W3, you lose your embed, reaction and external emote permissions. This does not happen for any other infraction role.

There exist infraction roles that can ban you from talking in certain channels, like these ones. The descriptions for these roles correspond to the channel it is supposed to hide from whoever has the role.
