Of course I don't know what I'm doing, what fun would that be?


How tired is the desktop metaphor these days?

If you look at Windows 10, Mac OS 10, and any flavor of linux these days, the thing that strikes me first is how much has been ceeded to the browser in terms of user activity. Now is the time for multi-tasking and complex interactions of many threads of data and construction to work together. Is the desktop metaphor broken or limited to this, or do we need something better than cut+paste for working applications together?

1.) Install some prerequisites: sudo apt-get install automake libtool build-essential pkg-config checkinstall git-core avahi-daemon libavahi-client-dev libgcrypt11 libgcrypt11-dev

2.) Configure the software with dhx2_passwd in mind:

./configure –with-init-style=debian –with-zeroconf

3.) Setup the netatalk configuration file (typically /usr/local/etc/afp.conf)

[Global] ; Global server settings passwd file = /usr/local/etc/afppasswd mimic model = rackmac vol preset = default_for_all_vol log file = /var/log/netatalk.log log level = default:error,uamsdaemon:debug save password = no

uam list = uams_dhx2_passwd.so uam path = /usr/local/lib/netatalk

mimic model = rackmac

[default_for_all_vol] file perm = 0664 directory perm = 0774 cnid scheme = dbd

[timecap] path = /spare/timecapsule valid users = nick appledouble = v2 time machine = yes

[Homes] basedir regex = /home valid users = nick

Just Sayin...

There is only one letter difference between FORTRAN and FORTEAN, this could not be a mere coincidence.
