hold on there, nobody is mentioning AI here? :-D
But, why?

here I was just wanting just ONE post about something not AI related...
we also lived through

owning digital books => renting/subscribing

owning digital games => renting/subscribing

owning digital music => renting/subscribing

owning the right to repair => renting/subscribing

Vehicle ECU's => TCU's that share data with 3rd parties

I'm sad to say that I tend to agree with echelon.

Absolutely agree, this is a condescending humble brag that never should have been posted in the first place.

There's also too boring. I had a job at a software company that uses Rocket UniVerse (https://www.rocketsoftware.com/products/rocket-universe-0/ro...). It upscales a telnet based interface to a windows-like frankenstein that displays on conventional MS Windows pc's. The db is ironically noSQL before they even invented the term. But that interface, that tech...
The "printer" section is going to be a hoot...
The company is valued at $3.3 billion, but their news article sounds like an over promising kickstarter pitch. The whole "secret ingredient" thing and the feel of the entire website makes me think they just want traction for a soon to come IPO.

File patent for "idea" so nobody can steal it... Am I the only one who feels this is just wrong?
I'm reading about your product and can only think one thing: "But, why?...."
I understand you want to make money, but why not open source your work? I'd imagine this would be the right thing to do. I'm sure you could still live a prosperous life.

Hi All,

I've read all your comments and agree that a migration towards newer hardware and OSS Server software is needed. I've taking some first steps away from OSX Server and have come to the following results regarding the issue's I had. See below a comparison between old OSX server and new Ubuntu test server with regards to High Sierra:

AFP Finder search on OSX 10.6.8 Server from High Sierra Client (17D47): No result (most often) -or- Incomplete results (certain mounted shares are not searched)

AFP Finder search on Ubuntu 16.04.3 Server from High Sierra Client: Fast result Opening file works

SMB Finder search on OSX 10.6.8 Server from High Sierra Client: results show after 7 seconds Opening file fails "The alias "<filename>” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found.

SMB Finder search on Ubuntu 16.04.3 Server from High Sierra Client: Fast result, Opening file fails "The alias "<filename>” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found.

AFP Finder search on OSX 10.6.8 Server from Sierra Client: Fast result Opening file works

AFP Finder search on Ubuntu 16.04.3 Server from Sierra Client: Fast result Opening file works

SMB Finder search on OSX 10.6.8 Server from Sierra Client: Fast result Opening file works

SMB Finder search on Ubuntu 16.04.3 Server from Sierra Client: Fast result Opening file works

Some speed indications: SMB file copy from Ubuntu 16.04.3 Server to Sierra Client: 20.91MB/s 21923002.62 bytes/sec AFP file copy from Ubuntu 16.04.3 Server to Sierra Client: 49.19MB/s 49459712.12 bytes/sec SMB file copy from OSX 10.6.8 Server to Sierra Client: 48.98MB/s 51399308.67 bytes/sec AFP file copy from OSX 10.6.8 Server to Sierra Client: 64.58MB/s 67710528.40 bytes/sec

SAS can be daisy chained.

:-) I know, but isn't it sad. I'm forced bu Apple to switch to another server OS if I want to keep using the 300TB SAS storage.

I admit, I usually let my users upgrade their clients as soon as they wish. This is the first time it broke something. :-(

I agree, as a video archivist, we support a lot of technologies that are much older than most computer systems. e.g. uMatic, half inch tape, BetaSP, Film etc. Albeit daunting, there is a slower decline in support for these machines.
Re:High Sierra broke AFP searching on our server on Tuesday January 30, 2018 @06:37AM (#16264487)
This is also supported on FreeNAS and works like a charm.
Re:High Sierra broke AFP searching on our server on Tuesday January 30, 2018 @06:34AM (#16264474)
I'm quite interested in migrating to APFS, I just can't find any hardware that can connect to Serial Attached Storage.
Re:High Sierra broke AFP searching on our server on Tuesday January 30, 2018 @06:28AM (#16264440)
I'm easing into it :-)
