The Tech
Nearly everything that powers and runs behind VesperNet created by myself has been written from the ground up, nearly everything created is with a purpose to make improvements between each projects. Bit of back and forth as new discoveries are made - so I'm 100% confident that there...
> Intro
Here we are again, there has been quite a few updates since the project announcement back in 2025.
For those that know of the project since before, will probably remember MacDomain - that has retired from the public mainstream web and has since been rebranded as Arc.
In short, VesperNet...
VesperNet (2025) continues this year, plenty of updates with even more coming, a bit of a backlog due to also being in the process of moving from apartment to house with everything that entails. The updated post is over yonder.
you could also have a look at https://asa.mac.gdn/ and https://adc.mac.gdn/ respectively, the username and password for the FTP which Eric is using above is simply archive
i believe the web links are also available over http. on another note, i don't think these are 100% complete, but it's...
There may or may not be minor hiccups with the module (old backend, stagnated code vs. browsers continue to develop) that produces that particular 403 message, the link to "solve it yourself" hasn't worked in years I believe. I might be disabling the entire module and look at implementing...
I wouldn't know, I don't use it nor do I have any device using it outside of the network to test it properly - though I would suspect that it will be hit & miss depending on which relay you end up using.
It's not just you, it's part of the updates I've had to do because of bots and scrapers going from manageable levels to ~insanity, I'm still working on it from time to time to resolve it completely. So for the time being, a "first visit" or shift from one vhost to the other "may" contain traces...
oldavista is great, however it would be a tough nut to crack, while it would be possible to incorporate it on the network, all results would be unavailable, since when using the DNS server, you're kinda no longer on the mainstream internet. The easier, or rather better solution would be to...
With 11 days into March, and lord knows how much time has been spent on this project behind closed curtains. I'm a bit late to the party. In any case, I don't do YouTube or social media, so I thought I could leave some notes here.
Project Name: VesperNet [URL]

Thank you for correcting the page, and I do hope the French version pops up.
We are severely lacking when it comes to software from any non-english speaking nations (or software with translations), and something we would love to see a lot more of.
Perhaps something like this would help when searching for files? http://macintoshgarden.org/arch_fs.php (https works as well)
The correct credentials should already be provided for the FTP links
Provided of course, your browser has the proper helpers for FTP links :)
Tacking on some extras here, it's a bit late - but better late than never, right? :)
Paul Rickards has been running an excellent service for quite a while, which is available via this link.
And yesterday I published this service. Available over both HTTP and HTTPS.
It looks the way it does in...
