The Finder shows these icons for network volumes.

How does the Finder determine the model of the remote host? This is metadata in the _device-info._tcp Bonjour service record that is the server advertises. My Synology helpfully shows up as an Xserve, in fact:

  $ dns-sd -L "synology" _device-info._tcp local
  Lookup synology._device-info._tcp.local
  DATE: ---Thu 07 Aug 2025---
  0:24:28.117  ...STARTING...
  0:24:28.378  synology._device-info._tcp.local. can be reached at synology.local.:0 (interface 14)
  model=Xserve

Apparently EWS which makes sense. ActiveSync is for mobile and EWS is newer compared to MAPI (which is an API technically), although there is a protocol that maps this to RPC for the Exchange case.

Yep, I was using MAPI as shorthand for both RPC MAPI (which was traditionally used inside corp networks, where port 35 would be open) and RPC-over-HTTP.

There's also a JSON-based web services API that is, as far as I know, unpublished (which OWA and I think the "next gen" Outlook uses).

EWS if I recall correctly is transposition of MAPI-RPC onto HTTPS connection

ejdyksen · 2 years ago

EWS is a SOAP-based web services protocol. Totally separate from MAPI.

What you're thinking of is called RPC-over-HTTP or sometimes "Outlook Anywhere".

> facilitating the native support for the Exchange protocol

There is not one single “Exchange Protocol”. There’s MAPI, EWS, ActiveSync, and more. Anyone know what this uses?

Cloudflare has supported a free IPv4 to IPv6 gateway for IPv6-only web servers since 2011: https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-cloudflares-automati...

If you need more than web traffic, you can use our Tunnel service.

ejdyksen · 2 years ago

Back when I had Comcast (and thus native IPv6 at home), this was a great way to expose a web server at home without resorting to either weird port forwarding or setting up a proxy + SNI. Both of those work, but this is super clean.

(Now I only have IPv4, so I just use Tunnel).

I thought they were very clear on how they defined "success".

This is progress, and admirable, but not a success according to their previous statements.

From the livestream (at about T-30:00):

“We consider any data received that helps inform an improved future build of starship a success. From a milestone standpoint, our main goal is to clear the pad. Every milestone beyond that is a bonus. The further we fly, the more data we can collect.”

False. Check the linked press release in my parent comment - the BTFP is available to all banks and allows them to use their under par assets as collateral for loans at par from the Federal Reserve.

“ Borrower Eligibility: Any U.S. federally insured depository institution (including a bank, savings association, or credit union) or U.S. branch or agency of a foreign bank that is eligible for primary credit (see 12 CFR 201.4(a)) is eligible to borrow under the Program. “

Fair. Thought you were talking about making SVB depositors whole.

I’d call the BTFP a mechanism to stabilize the banking system in the US, given rising interest rates. I guess I don’t care as much about the semantics, though.

If a lending facility, only available to banks, at par for assets that are under par is not a bailout…

What would you call it?

ejdyksen · 2 years ago

It’s not available to banks, only to used-to-be-banks.
