TailTalk: A modern async user space AppleTalk stack with Rust and Tokio

github.com ·5d ago

TailTalk is a user-space AppleTalk stack built in Rust for Linux, Mac OS, and Windows systems. It enables communication with legacy Macs, printers, and networks. TailTalk provides a complete AppleTalk stack, allowing multiple instances to run simultaneously. Currently, it only functions in routerless setups and is a work in progress.

The stack includes a zero-configuration AFP server, support for Stuff-It archives, LocalTalk-capable printers, and modern printer sharing. Packet parsers and async APIs are available for major AppleTalk protocols. TailTalk requires Rust 1.90 or newer and uses cargo-packager for building AppImage, App bundles, and Windows installers.

Building the software involves installing Rust, cargo-packager, and necessary SDKs or drivers. The project welcomes contributions and pull requests.

Production API Key Rotation Explained: 6 Least-Privilege Checks for Node.js GitHub Actions

Short answer: use two narrowly scoped API keys, switch traffic with an explicit activation step, and revoke the old key only after logs and live requests prove the cutover.
