There are some strange passages in this, such as here where it suddenly decides to bring up the man page and how to exit man:

> There's an NFS app for macOS called NFS Manager from Germany's Marcel Bresink.

> On pre-15.5 Macs, see the Terminal AFP command mount_afp by opening Terminal and typing:

> man mount_afp and pressing Return on your keyboard. To exit the man system, press Control-Z or the q key.

> Several third-party NAS vendors, such as Synology and others, include AFP support in their products, but that's likely to come to an end soon too.

(Not clear why it would be coming to an end if they’re based on Linux!)

The cached headline I saw on Mastodon also called it “depreciated”.

Losing AFP sucks, because macOS’s SMB support continues to be abysmally slow, and really needs Apple’s undocumented proprietary SMB extensions to work halfway decent. Lately I’ve been accessing my SMB shares (from both Samba and Windows 11) through Cyberduck, because Finder is just unbearably slow and gets tripped up on file permissions for no reason. Deprecated or not, Netatalk will be more important than ever if users need a protocol that just works.

You can still download Samba for MacOS. I’m guessing it doesn’t integrate or replace the Apple supplied SMB software?
