I get the idea that this is pronounced “eff-in-nix” which might (probably not, idk though I’m not a lawyer) save them from a lawsuit should the folks at velociraptor aerospace dynamics (what a name) should decide they have a problem sharing the name.

Unironically, yes.

I used to have every device on my network connected via smb share. Either I did something completely wrong or the protocol is just dog slow. Switched to filebrowser quantum with local mDNS resolution and haven’t looked back. Now when I need to move files from pc to pc over the network I just navigate in a browser to http://files.local/ and download them on the client machine. It is also significantly more friendly for my (non-techie) partner who often uses it to grab music from our shared digital music library to put on their MP3 player.
