Agreed on all fronts.
I’m curious about their share server setup; my solution would probably be a Debian server exposing AppleTalk.
I’ve used that to transfers files between a G3 iMac and an M2 MacBook :)
However, this sounds like maybe one of those all in one IT services shops of overworked, underpaid technicians where everything is duct tape and requests go from “my icons have moved how do I send emails now” to this sharing files on Macs thing.
Getting out is the only good move.
- walteweiss 3y agoWikipedia says AppleTalk is discontinued. Is there some open source implementation? I would love to make a system that will easily connect my macs with my Linux machines at home.
- wiredfool 3y agoNetatalk used to be the thing, now it’s basically samba on Linux and the shares are pretty straightforward. It’s a bit of a faff on the samba side as there are a bunch of options for auth. NFS is another option, but I mostly use that for r/o media shares.
