@cathill scanner and laser printer on different floors. Networked. #Novell #Netware etc

Regret to inform you that I have learned #systemd still exists. I had managed to avoid it for a month and a half and hoped it had gone to join the great zoo of failed information technology experiments which were always a bad idea, along with the #Commodore64 and #Netware.

I just had bad thoughts about #Netware. Which I think means it's time to step away from the computer and go to bed.

@briankrebs this toot brought back memories. One of my first commercials was a spot called “Patch Tuesday” for a little company called Novell.

@kotinotter ikr?

Goin down #Novell #NetWare client memory lane here.

I've commented before how these two #Microsoft #Win11 machines can see everything on my lan ... except each other 🤦‍♂️

#CoPilot tells me this is a known issue and I can either activate #smb1 protocol 😱 or perform a simple 7-step work around, 🤔 basically enabling #netbios over #TCP

Wrapping a non-error-correcting protocol inside an error-correcting protocol, for you non-nerds 🤓 instead of using an error-correcting protocol alone, b/c someone just can't say goodbye to #novel #netware🦕💩🧟‍♂️

I was practicing touchtyping using typewriter until around June 99. Then, I learned Lotus123 and WordStar on Microsoft DOS on Netware network.

These were really charming.

Un día como hoy 19 de junio, pero de 1924, nace Raymond Noorda, el Padrino de las Redes. De 1983 a 1994, lideró #novell y su #Netware para dominar las LAN, enfrentando a Microsoft. Un visionario de la "coopetición". Revive su historia en #retrocomputingmx #HistoriaTech #network

Sabías quién es Drew Major? El genio detrás de #Netware, el SO de red que conectó las empresas en los 80/90. Su código hizo posible las #LANNET antes de que existiera Internet. Un héroe retro en #retrocomputingmx #novell #HistoriaDeRedes

Linus actually has a good point. Filesystem case sensitivity has always, always been controversial. #NetWare was so secure because of the #filesystem case sensitivity (among other things) and then they allowed spaces. And I remember people fucking with NetWare servers by using weird filenames . In my AP compsci classes we were hiding warez that way. And now you see fucking EMOJI in filenames, and the spec changes on social whims at a drop of the hat. #tech #linux https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linus-Torvalds-Anti-Case-Fold

Hmm. I think, I will switch back to using AIR instead of Novell #NetWare for #GlobalTalk.
Something made AppleTalk on NetWare 4.11 crash for the second time now and AURP stopped working...
After starting AIR again now (with the latest nodelist from @kalleboo), I do see 87 zones now :)

@ahihi
I also can see your zone :)
The screenshot shows the #NetWare tool ATCON.NLM, the AppleTalk Console (with german locale, sorry for that).
#GlobalTalk

The latest #MARCHintosh Daily News just arrived via #GlobalTalk ! And even through my #NetWare server :-)
Thank you @dillera !
But page 10 seems to have some issues here... could you resend pages 9 and up? Thanks!

I've created a Python script which downloads the #GlobalTalk nodelist from @kalleboo, gets IPs for all hostnames and uploads the list as a #NetWare AURP.CFG file to the server (via FTP).
Together with CRON.NLM, which restarts AURP.NLM on NetWare, this should make it possible to follow all nodes :)

Hallo #GlobalTalk people! Can you still see the zone BabCom?
I've changed my AURP setup - removed AIR and made #Novell #NetWare 4.11 my AURP router system!
I can see many zones, although I've only added 3 IPs right now (unknown connections are allowed).
I'm just working on a method to update the AURP IP list. :)
