RE: https://hachyderm.io/@dmark/116569749910336852
PSA: My #GlobalTalk volumes will be offline until I have a chance to upgrade to Netatalk 4.4.3 (or I might even wait until 4.5.0 comes out of beta)
All GlobalTalk admins should do this upgrade if you're using Netatalk, lots and lots of security vulnerabilities have been patched.

Rewrite of the connection status/request retry/error handling state machine in #GlobalTalk Chat is going well

Hello #globaltalk I've just switched from Jrouter to AIR, but this time running on a headless Debian box via QEMU and accessible via VNC (I was very impressed how easy it was to setup). I think everything is up and running OK but I'd be grateful if somebody could take a look at my zone "scotgate" and tell me what they see. Should be at least one Netatalk server (georgia) with a public dropbox and a RO bunch of files, plus two printers. Many thanks!

QuickTime Conferencing broadcasting in Syntax Error for a bit, should anybody be bored enough for that sort of thing. #GlobalTalk

Inspired by @fergycool and thanks to some iSight for MacOS 9 driver spelunking by @vga256 I am currently broadcasting a live feed of the Sakurajima volcano erupting on #GlobalTalk via QuickTime Conferencing.
If I’m going to do this again I’m gonna need a longer FireWire cable… the driver is also in trial mode and quits after 30 minutes.

@kalleboo is GlobalTalk Chat down? I see the server, but can’t connect from WOzFest HQ or Airaga.
Was kicked off about 8 hours ago (16:55 UTC) on both. Both are still seeing each other (and other zones, including BaroNet).

@BlueSCSI Hmmm, I bet these can be shared on #GlobalTalk using GrayShare… 🤔

@kalleboo let’s see if I last 20 days again :) #GlobalTalk

@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

Made progress on this over the weekend!
It seems to be mostly working (see screenshot of 9 sessions connected at once to a server running on my 16 MHz 68020 Mac IIcx), but I'm still worried about obscure minor bugs like race conditions showing up when I put it live (yeah there are still around 5-9 of us online at any given time on #GlobalTalk Chat even into the end of April!)
To get all the pieces I needed to get it to work, I had to cobble together info from a all over

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.)

@RToD Marchintosh may fade each year, but GlobalTalk is all year round!

Well, just after International Backup Day, I proved to myself my own saying that “no matter how many backups you have, it’s always too few”.
For some reason, my GlobalTalk node related to my Apple Internet Router Administrator’s Guide—Addendum I released last year was not being backed up like all my other VMs.
I just run a cron job once a week (Sunday early morning, my least likely time to be awake) that vacuums most of the files on my Ubuntu VMs and zips them up into a new archive in a folder on my Mac. I just delete the old archive after the new one completes.
I think perhaps because it was such a sparse node while I was setting up last year – just sort of a “first port of call” for people following the instructions in my Addendum – that I didn’t pay heed to the Three Golden Rules of Computing™:
1. Backup.
2. Backup!!
3. BACKUP!!!Couple that with a “delete the whole VM” command being right next to the “reboot vm” command (great UI, folks!), them both asking for some sort of confirmation ("delete boot disk, too” vs “reboot immediately”) which my mind conflated after 10-15 reboots, and boom! VM and boot disk gone, unrecoverable.
Thankfully, it’s not a critical machine, and other than it being a slow VM shape, I’ve been able to get something back online reasonably quickly (and it’s fully clean, so there’s that) – and yes, I have set up the cron job on the new VM!
I’ve lost some greets from the last year, almost all of which are on my main GlobalTalk node anyway, and the collection of files I put in the AppleShared folder for guests (I have all of it, just don’t have the particular combination of files I put in there).
There’s only one silver lining – I was able to test my setup disk images from go to woe again after not having done so since I last revised them last year...they work!
As a celebration of getting the node back online, guests who access the share will see the icon I was working on earlier tonight. More celebratory for me than anyone else, but still.
Don’t make me tap the sign! ☝🏻

I blame @kalleboo!
Custom icon for my Airaga Share on GlobalTalk – it’s the graphic from the front cover of the Apple Internet Router Administrator’s Guide.

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 !

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.

Is there a definitive answer to “what is the latest model Mac that can run Apple Internet Router 3?” for connecting to #globaltalk ?
What are the given dependencies that we know about? MacTCP vs Open Transport, what Max. OS version, 68K vs PPC.
Now that #MARCHintosh is over I want to do some experimenting. This also coincides with my new resolution to not use emulation for anything. Really hardware and back in the day software.

GlobalTalk admins using non-standard Ethernet interfaces in System 7.1...
Can you please PM a screenshot of your Network and MacTCP settings (first screen only for MacTCP, examples attached) – 1 bit B/W preferred.
I'm wanting to make my AIR manual addendum, and GlobalTalk setup instructions and files more generic.
I'd also be interested in which Ethernet drivers were necessary to get your interface to work with AIR under System 7.1.
Lastly, I'm interested in having a chat with users of Snow, mini vMac, Basilisk II, and other non-QEMU emulators about GlobalTalk connection requirements and setup in System 7.1.
I will credit contributions, of course!
Thank you, and boosts appreciated!

We've gone all high-tech with a screen capture for the hat-o-matic this time!
And the screen-captured hat-o-matic has chosen @nygl for the fashionable Canvas iron-on winner! Send me a message and we'll get it sent off to you :D
#MARCHintosh #GlobalTalk -
Okay, I was wrong the other day. Couldn't waste half of an iron-on transfer sheet, so there's one more #MARCHintosh #GlobalTalk Canvas fashion piece up for grabs.
This one is for the iron-on transfer to make one of your garments *infinitely* more fashionable! It's even “keepin' it real,”as I'm sure the kids still say, by coming fresh out of an ImageWriter 🖨️
Reply to this toot with ‘fashion' for a chance to win.
The hat-o-matic will make its decision tomorrow, Friday 3 April.
