Short: Fizz is a lightweight TCP/IP network file server and mounter. No configuration files, no daemons, no encryption, no hassle - just a single command line program for sharing and mounting directories “ad-hoc” style. Currently supported: Amiga, Unixoid (FUSE3 for mounting e.g. on Linux, FreeBSD) Fizz goes both ways: You can share and mount - on all supported platforms, both directions are supported. So of course you can share an Amiga directory with other Amigas. You can run as many instances as you like. There is no central server.
Uuuh this could mean, that you could cross compile programs from your pc to your amiga hardware over network share. That’s nifty.
Not exactly on topic, because I only jealously have looked at the Amiga of my older cousin and my first own computer was a x86 (133MHz Pentium - was a fucking monster with a Voodoo 2 graphics accelerator)
But I’m seeing more and more news about Amiga in the last years.
Am I just in a news bubble or is there really some kind of a comeback - more than just as a nostalgic hobbyist project?My first computer was i386, I didn’t like it so I changed it to A1200 and boy was it fun. It was a love at first sight.
That sounds fun, I’m kinda jealous :-)
Anyway, I’ve loved my first computer and I think, it wouldn’t have mattered much, what it was
It was my computer and I could do everything with it, my mind was able to produce - and fit the hardwareThat’s what I felt at that time at least
Yes, there’s nothing which makes me feel so excited about computers nowadays. Maybe I’m just too old.
Yeah, I’m with you
Experiencing even the internet in its early years was like discovering a new world, that was the wild west
It was just glamorous…
I really miss it.
And now politicians without having any clue cut it down.
I just don’t want to stand by and watch - but I also don’t know what to do …It was just like that. I think there’s nothing we can do about it, those days are gone forever and we must get used to it.
Mostly a nostalgic hobbyist thing.
But there are modern Amiga options, like MorphOS, Amiga OS 4 and AROS. Can always look those up and see what works for you.
Cool, thanks :-D
No worries. There’s also things like PiStorm, Amiga OS 3.2 and other options, depending what kind of route you want to go down.
