#globaltalk — Public Fediverse posts

4mb of RAM, 40mb hard drive, 8mhz processor... and it's enough to run both GlobalTalk Chat and Photoshop at the same time. #globaltalk

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

Aw man! I ordered a usb-c to ethernet thingy so I could do #GlobalTalk funtimes from the couch, but it doesn't fit. 💩

Look what came out of a box of old LocalTalk gear. Nice surprise! One of the two is sealed, and I don’t think either was used. #GlobalTalk

@rl_dane If you print something to my #GlobalTalk StyleWriter then I can ThunderScan it for you and send it back ;)

@dmark Does that mean #globaltalk over Tailscale is on the way? :-)

Brilliant! #globaltalk print from @_the_cloud

If anybody on #globaltalk fancies it the printer is on and accepting jobs zone:scotgate - 100%Endurance - It's got continuous A4 paper loaded… and COLOUR ;-) It's all quite exciting. I am super impressed with the quality!

For those #globaltalk folk using QEMU to run an AIR VM on Linux how do you “autostart” the VM? Libvirt, Systemd, manually? I've got a headless Debian setup currently I'm ssh’ing in to start a shell script that starts the AIR VM and outputs to VNC. I really should do this automatically.

This was only about 2 years ago? #GlobalTalk https://bitbang.social/@kalleboo/112053119115455827

Hey USA #GlobalTalk types with a StyleWriter! Could be time to get that printer onto the network? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/157863625242

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

Ethernet card works, LC 475 is on #GlobalTalk using jrouter on a Pi (mostly because I still don’t have a keyboard to configure things, it’s incredible what you can do with just a mouse 😂).

Funny detail, the 475 has variable fan speed. When no card is installed, the fan goes through a resistor and spins a little slower. The PDS slot as a pin that shorts the resistor and cards are supposed to use it, so after installing the card the fan spins faster and it’s a lot more noisy. #retroApple

Let's Chat with Karl Baron (Kalleboo) - #GlobalTalk programing expert!

@nixCraft AppleTalk.

Wait, we already did that with #globaltalk https://marchintosh.com/globaltalk.html

@blind_mapmaker @joe @rl_dane I use DokuWiki for my building’s wiki, and for The Guerrilla GlobalTalk Wiki at globaltalk.wiki

Happy to set up a sub-wiki for you to play around with

#GlobalTalk

Or slides like these???

(OK when are we getting a VAX on #GlobalTalk?)

The Importance of #GlobalTalk

#VintageApple #RetroComputing

I just found the most diabolical stack to run on #GlobalTalk

@DosFox ooh, can we get it on #Globaltalk?!

@_the_cloud @onegeekarmy @nygl @jexner Perhaps a Powermail email? :-) I've gone and forgotten his zone but I think the machine Powertalk was active on was “oakleymac” or something similar (how come I remember that but not his #globaltalk zone name?).

4 months ago, @nygl moved server instances, to aus.social. I immediately followed his new account, as we were both active in the #GlobalTalk community. Recently I realized I hadn't seen any posts or DMs from him since that change. Looking at his profile, it seems like he's been totally inactive. But I suspect that's not the case. I don't think I've given him reason to block me. What would explain this? Is there something else one needs to do when following an account that is migrated?

@thomholwerda it often feels that way, but #GlobalTalk Chat by @kalleboo isn’t 💗

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

Loving the release announcement of Globaltalk Chat via (of course) #Globaltalk What a star @kalleboo is! (of course I still need to fix my Laserwriter weird stretched printouts!).
