I’m was using a 200Mb connection remotely to connect to my home 200Mb connection and BTMM is so slow that it kept timing out and wouldn’t even reliably show a file listing in the Finder. Teamviewer?

I think the best way is to use a VPN, preferably running on your router so your iMac isn't even aware of it. The 2nd best thing is probably just port forwarding ssh and using transmit with that, both of these options require ddns which can be a pain to set up. Then there is stuff that requires 3rd party servers like Teamview and Splashtop but I don't like trusting more people than necessary.

It is unlikely that your home 200Mb connection is 200 down / 200 up. Home ISPs almost always sell extremely asymmetric service, eg 200 down / 10 up. When you use something like BTMM to access files or your screen remotely, you’re leaning on the slow uplink side. If you want to know how slow it is, try Speedtest.net to get a measurement. Unfortunately what this means is that you should prepare to be disappointed no matter what you try.

That's actually a good point and I need to calibrate my expectations accordingly. Speedtest is showing about 11 up so you're exactly right. I'm going to investigate what you guys suggested and report back once I get something working. Thanks for the tips.

Yeah I recommend plugging in a raspberry pi and running pivpn if your router doesn’t support it. Should be way more reliable since you’re just accessing directories instead of an entire mirrored display from your computer.

When I wrote my post I was at work and went to speedtest.net just for a lark, knowing that I'd get some hilariously amazing number. I wasn't disappointed: 800/800. our connection's actually not-making GBS threads-you 25 times faster than that, twin 10G fiber is a hell of a drug i only saw 800 because the usb3 gigabit ethernet adapter I was using to connect my computer to our LAN was the limiting factor, the 10G network isn't built out to every desk

It saddens me that in 2002, my connection was in a uni dorm on ja.net and our connections were 10/10 in each room. Now 16 years later, I still have that same lovely 10-12mbit upstream.

I was just living in rural Alberta and my internet was terrible until I called the CRTC because the ISP clearly didn’t plan on delivering the speeds I was paying for, or anyone else in my area. They also have a monopoly so...  Sometimes my ping would be 1.5 seconds. One bad week the speed was 200/10... kb/s. All this for $75 a month and it took them four weeks to install it. After the CRTC harassment, it went to a more reasonable 3-5 down and 1-2 up with latency of like 80ms. Still not the 10 I was sold though.

Is there a recommendation for a replacement for photo printing out of Photos? My wife makes family calendars every year and is now a bit grumpy since Apple is killing off their service.

Guess you guys forgot about https://shutterfly.com They have an iOS app and a whole website devoted to making photo books from collections you upload or off your phone.. they even have a summer sale going on now.. Also get your photos on pillows, blankets, mugs, framed prints, all kinds of stuff.. About the only thing you lose is being able to do it right from Photos..

If I install Windows 10 to an external hard drive via Bootcamp (google says it’s possible, just us a long convoluted process) will macOS complain if I try to boot up macOS without the external hard drive connected? I don’t think it should complain at all but just thought I’d ask if anyone’s tried it.

The Apple Photos printing stuff was always really high quality, we used them a few times for calendars and things and they all still look good, nothing is faded or anything. Maybe someone knows who their printing provider was and you can go directly through them?

Any good/not overly expensive Mac management solutions? I'm about giving up on profile manager. Looking for something that can manage updates, push out network share shortcuts, push out software updates and pushing. Have about 10 computers really only.

Jamf Pro definitely can, and it's like $8/mo or something per machine, BUT you have to pay $5k to have someone spend 2 days teaching you to use it. Not sure if the Jamf Now product will cover those bases, but it seems like it might and it's much more affordable.
