#globaltalk — Public Fediverse posts

Simple Spooler 0.3 can be found on #GlobalTalk in the Cloudbusting zone, at Puppet Head:Ken's Stuff:Simple Spooler 0.3.

I've also put the source on AmendHub (thanks @jcs !) Amend is a nifty source code control system for classic Mac OS. https://amendhub.com/thecloud/SimpleSpooler

Next #MARCHintosh people won’t complain my node is slow. 😂 Ethernet, baby! Cutting edge technology here. #GlobalTalk #retroApple

I am proud to present GlobalTalk Chat 1.2, taking it from a rushed #MARCHintosh hack-job to something I'd be proud to release as shareware 30 years ago!

The headline update is it now allows anyone to host their own room! And it works on any AppleTalk network, not just #GlobalTalk

Get it on BaroNet, or Macintosh Garden https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/globaltalk-chat

And for anyone who has been curious how it all works, documented source code is available! https://github.com/kalleboo/GlobalTalk-Chat

@RonsCompVids I bumped into someone at VCFSoCal that was giving away discs that perform the unlock at boot. I also found the PCB design for the expansion port to add on a floppy. I was thinking of some interesting #GlobalTalk things I could do for #MARCHintosh 2027 :apple_old_logo:

So my interest is 25% gaming 75% what else can I make this thing do

SUCCESS! Finally got the Macintosh 512Ke on #GlobalTalk ! I couldn't find a Phone Net box with a DB9 connector, and my attempts to bodge one together weren't working. Picked up a DB9 LocalTalk connector for less than $10. Now I'm ready for next year's #MARCHintosh , or #Apriltosh , or maybe #AprilApples (though I think LocalTalk only worked on the IIgs.)

Was checking my router config for unrelated reasons when I went over to the bandwidth monitor tab and remembered it splits out AURP usage.

For the month of #MARCHintosh, my network uploaded nearly 300 *mega bytes* of data to #GlobalTalk !

Quick little goodbye and see you next year for #marchintosh #globaltalk

So now that #MARCHintosh is over, I spent the day doing some network reconfiguration.

Can folks still see and connect to my #GlobalTalk shared volumes? Any performance improvement?

I've switched from the QEMU VM running AIR in Mac System 7.1, over to a modern Debian Linux VM running the LToUDP fork of jrouter.

It was a bit of a pain to get everything going again - what finally made everything work was sticking to a VM on my Mac Mini instead of trying to run it all on the Pi or my NAS. There's junk that gets appended to the end of my AppleTalk packets when they cross over my Wifi bridges, and so the routing needs to happen behind one of them in order for everything to work correctly.

I'm not committing to this new setup yet, but I'll probably leave it running for a week or so and see how stable things are compared to the previous AIR setup.

Anyway, now that I have LToUDP working, it means I can access GlobalTalk volumes from my laptop without the need for a Wifi bridge (or a separate laptop), as long as I'm using Mini vMac or Snow.

Happy #MARCHintosh to all who celebrate! It's cool to read about all the projects and things going on in the retro Mac world!
My #GlobalTalk zone BabCom is still online :-)
And for all users who joined last year: The #FirstClass server is still alive and the accounts should still work.
I will have a late start this year as I'm recovering from being badly sick the last days...

Yes, Iran could do with a regime change, but then again so could America. I guess attacking Iran’s one way of detracting from testifying in front of a congressional panel if you have dubious links to Epstein.
