Apple wants to kill your Time Capsule, but they run NetBSD so they can’t
Summary
Apple is set to drop AFP in macOS 27, which may brick Time Capsule devices that rely on AFP/SMB1 for network sharing. The piece highlights that Time Capsule hardware runs NetBSD, and introduces TimeCapsuleSMB, an open-source project to add Samba 4/SMB3 support to extend the devices' life. It serves as a case study in vendor obsolescence versus open-source remediation for SMB/backups.
