Announcing my third #MARCHintosh 2026 project - the MARCHintosh Canvas!

If you're familiar with Reddit's /r/place, pxls space, or Wplace, you’ll know what this is - a shared canvas anyone can place pixels onto in real-time.

Only this time, it's over the venerable AppleTalk protocol, with the public server accessible to anyone on #GlobalTalk :)

Feel free to drop by and leave your mark - available in the usual places (landisk, Blackbird) on BaroNet

@theirongiant There was a big online auction of Apple stuff a couple months back. Things like Steve Job signed checks, a TAM, etc. This one wasn't getting much attention, so I jumped on it.

Three new #GlobalTalk printouts on my printer Sunny (zone BabCom) arrived in the last days!
Thank you to @RonsCompVids, @kalleboo and @stack (a first here, if I see it correctly!)

I put together a little map of the GlobalTalk endpoints by GeoIP. It'd be a fun mission to get at least one user in South America and Africa!

I did something fun for #MARCHintosh – the #netatalk file sharing suite now supports color icons on Classic Mac OS.

Special thanks to @nulleric for the inspiration and architecture for the feature, and @smallsco for further inspiration working together on troubleshooting a tangential icon bug.

More details in this thread.

@kalleboo do you have the source out there for these apps?

@till @smallsco Yeah, Netatalk lets you advertise printers in CUPS via AppleTalk, so I set up a CUPS PDF.

With #MARCHintosh we connect all of our vintage Macs across the internet, so you can then print from one vintage Mac to another over the internet.
