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).
Now that I have #netatalk compiled for the Raspberry Pi, I'm now struggling to get any folder shared and advertised over AppleTalk, or AFP, for that matter. This is for #GlobalTalk.
edit : GOD DAMN IT. The documentation fails to mention that I should be editing THIS file:
/usr/local/etc/afp.conf.
I spent hours editing /etc/netatalk/afp.conf, and thought I was going insane.
I've been over the netatalk documentation multiple times last night. I tried setting log level to "default:debug9" but the journal isn't being spammed with events like I expect. So I don't even know where to start troubleshooting - permissions, an incorrect setting, etc.
The RPi is registered on my AppleTalk network just fine; I can see the device from my AIR Mac. It has a valid network number, and I can send AppleTalk echo packets to it with MacPing Pro (AT, not TCP).
Suggestions?
#GlobalTalk I cannot get meson setup to build #netatalk 4.4.2 because it thinks there's no database system available. I have installed both sqlite3 and mysql/mariadb, and I can't tell if Berkeley DB (dbd) is installed or even possible on this platform.
What am I missing?
Is this a known problem on Raspberry Pi's? I have a 3B+ running the latest Pi OS 13 (Trixie), released April 21. Is there a compatibility issue? Should I try an older version of Netatalk (4.3) or the 4.5 beta? Or is the OS too new and something broke the Netatalk build process? Or do I really need to configure a fully functional database ?
@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 
So my interest is 25% gaming 75% what else can I make this thing do
