Replying to say that this was super helpful when dealing with Stuffit files from the Macintosh Garden / Repository and wondering why Stuffit 4.x couldn't expand them. I had no idea there was a breaking change in the compression code in version 5.

Be sure and give @marciot all the love for making this. It's wonderful. Make sure you take breaks at least 1 minute long every now and then. And you've got a lot of refining to do before you reach the Cold Harbor file. If you try to Quit, your resignation will be denied. P.S.: this runs on...

Someone on the Wireshark Discord pointed me to this GitHub repo with a very complete Lua plugin for decoding AURP traffic — legacy AppleTalk. https://github.com/bytex64/aurp-dissector It's been rather interesting to sniff "vmenet0" of my virtual Quadra 800 acting as an Apple Internet Router...

My featured project this year is a live and on-demand RealMedia server: Head on over to >>> http://68kradio.ddns.net There are three (3) live RealAudio feeds: a 2nd gen iPod playing a thousand songs on shuffle, and two different iPhones playing Radio Paradise and SomaFM, respectively. The...

I have an LC III that boots and runs normally, but the internal speaker doesn't work. Well, at least I thought it didn't at first. External audio works; I heard the startup chime, quacks, and wild eeps through headphones. By accident I was pushing the headphone jack while turning it back on...
