    LaserWriter IISC SCSI protocol reversed (for emulator implementation)

    @demik what driver are you using for your IISC? (i.e. in the Mac OS Chooser)

    LaserWriter IISC SCSI protocol reversed (for emulator implementation)

    Impressive work, this will definitely come in handy when developing SCSI printer support in PiSCSI / BlueSCSI etc.

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    thanks for testing! indeed, the RandNum UAM has a special ritual that you have to do; do you know about the "afppasswd.key" trick for adding a layer of DES encryption on your local afppasswd file? it's well worth it to avoid keeping passwords in clear text on your file system (albeit in...

    Apple LocalTalk interface box

    Nitpick: AppleShare was never the name of the protocol itself, but rather of the client and server applications that implemented the protocol known as AFP (originally AppleTalk Filing Protocol, later shortened to Apple Filing Protocol). Apple's SMB is based on the Sun implementation, reportedly...

    Inside AppleTalk Mark-down

    this is truly helpful, having a properly searchable version of this documentation will be handy when working with AppleTalk code – I will certainly make use of it in the future we have a similar but different challenge with the Apple Filing Protocol Reference document, which is the...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    netatalk 4.5.0 beta is now available for adventurous users we have introduced advanced ARC cache and a wide range of deep optimizations that speed up file operations, especially noticeably when you enumerate a large number of files, i.e. when browsing a remote volume see the new manual chapter...

    Let's try surfing the internet with an older web browser.

    ah pardon, I assumed you were the original author of the proxy! one thing you could do it to fork the project on GitHub, then publish your binary Windows builds there... just a tip

    Let's try surfing the internet with an older web browser.

    GitHub allows you create Releases where you can attach binary builds for Windows and other platforms; this is generally preferred and appreciated by the community since this makes it easier to trace source code to the binary, and a level of confidence that you're not installing malware from a...

    Let's try surfing the internet with an older web browser.

    what is the difference between the code in the zip file on archive.org and your GitHub repo?

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    The SQLite backend is flagged as stable as of v4.4.0! It is truly the future-proof option. Debian for instance has flagged Berkeley DB for removal in Debian Duke in... 2029 ^^; Edit: I wrote a migration guide a while ago during the beta test phase.

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    Thank you for the sentiment, I will certainly let you know if/when the project opens up for donations. :) As NJRoadfan points out, the original roadmap proposal has been largely achieved (not least thanks to his contributions). What remains of the original roadmap is to rewrite the indexed...

    Fun with userspace AppleTalk

    This was indeed very painless, the code built on the first try on my MacBook Pro M1 running Asahi Linux!

    Much improved afpfs-ng + AFP plugin for KDE file managers

    Since I started dual boot Asahi Linux / Fedora Remix and KDE on my MacBook Pro M1, I found out the hard way that KDE file managers doesn't speak AFP natively (unlike GNOME). A little while ago I was able to modernize the afpfs-ng AFP client enough that it became possible to use libfuse3 to mount...

    Fun with userspace AppleTalk

    Very cool, thank you for publishing your work! Do you have any pointers for a Rust n00b how to set up a build environment for this project? Happy to do my own research if you say it's straight-forward. :)
