Re: COMBAT CHRONICLE

I think it was Lazarus Long, in Robert Heinlein's 'Time Enough For Love', who said "Always vote. There might not be anyone you want to vote for, but there is always someone you want to vote against." I think, in this case, it's the orange-faced one. You both have my thanks - even though I'...

Re: Microsoft intends to record everything you do on your PC for “AI” processing

Why would we need "AI" to record meetings? Especially "Generative AI", known to "hallucinate" and deemphasize extreme views. See the GAI of comments on Amazon products. Court reporters have been doing exact reproductions of evidence etc. for years. No AI there. Just aud...

Re: NAS setup question(s)

OK. I don't know Endless. If it's immutable, does that mean you can't change configuration files? Your Endless machine is the client for this, your Apple machine is the server. Is there a directory /home/wove/.local/etc/samba with an smb.conf inside it? Or /home/wove/.local/etc with smb.conf? Reread...

Re: NAS setup question(s)

Did you find smb.conf in /etc/ on the client (linux) or the server (apple)? smb.conf shouldn't be in /etc but in /etc/samba/ on the client (linux box) The 'client min protocol = NT1' should be on the client Perhaps 'server min protocol = NT1' in the smb.conf on the apple server Yes! The Apple Time C...

Re: NAS setup question(s)

As it's an old Apple device, it's probably using SMB1 which is a no-no for a modern Windows or Linux install. Can you set 'client min protocol = NT1' in your local (linux) smb.conf file? I presume you do have the username/password for the time capsule smb account.

Re: NAS setup question(s)

If Windows sees an SMB share, can Linux see the share too? smbclient -L timecapIPaddress . If so, at least the IP address is correct. You can connect to server with the SMB (Windows) protocol. Try mount.cifs or mount.smb3 (see man page). Both these next are unlikely on Apple kit. What do you see wit...
