BTW, if I buy the hard cover, is there any chance you might sell a PDF version? I suspect no, but thought it might not hurt to ask!

Thanks so much for making the book and finding yourself to this site!

I've finally come around to set up a fundraising site to help making wmlive-trixie become reality:

https://ko-fi.com/wmlive

Based on the outcome, this will also serve to estimate if it's still worth the time working on wmlive.

Please spread the word!

I want to get a copy of the book. Hoping the author might make his way around to this forum to offer the book.

Hi everyone, I just signed up (thanks to kokomuck  ).
I still have six copies of the new book; if you're interested, please PM me.
Thanks!

General Discussion / NeXT baseball caps/hats

Last post by ZombiePhysicist - Oct 28, 2025, 05:22 PM

On another forum in another galaxy at another time, I bought some amazing NeXT baseball caps. I don't remember which user did the amazing job of creating them, but with time, i've lost one, and the other is a bit worn out.

Any chance that user is here? Would love to encourage him to make a new batch. They are really great!

Virtualization / Re: Notes field in Previous?

Last post by kokomuck - Oct 27, 2025, 06:30 PM

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for the feedback!

I give it a try editing the top of the config file.
On the other hand, one line would be sufficient 😁.

All the best,
Kokomuck

This is not as easy as it sounds. The text input fields of the SDL GUI are quite simple. They can just take a defined number of letters limited to a single line. But the config file loader is very tolerant. You can just write your notes to the top of the config file. Does that meet your requirements?

Virtualization / Notes field in Previous?

Last post by kokomuck - Oct 27, 2025, 06:21 AM

Hiya,

It would be fierce handy if there was a "Notes" field in Previous that could be saved with each config file.

Very often I juggle around with different config files, and it would be handy if there was a field where one could jot down a few thoughts.

All the best,
Kokomuck

@wmlive I tried that command but it looks like its just download the index for each folder and not the contents. Let me see if I can paste this command into ChatGPT and see if it can give me some advice for how to get the folder contents as well. Thanks for the starting point though!

Does anyone have any advice on how I might make a mirror of this website? I have never tried to script something like that:

http://143.198.135.172:80

I'd try it with something like:

Code Select Expand

wget --no-parent --recursive --timestamping --level=inf --no-cache --continue http://143.198.135.172:80
