Themk Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 To be honest, the homepage of Let's Encrypt has "LINUX FOUNDATION" written on the top of it, it's not a huge surprise that they are anti freebsd. At some point, if the current admins are unable to maintain the site, than perhaps a pass down to a new administration team that is capable would be good to do, continuing on the next generation of the 68kmla. Obviously that is not on anybody's radar right now, as such a thing is highly unlikely to happen in the next few years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MidnightCommando Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) For what it's worth, there are now several guides on using Let's Encrypt with FreeBSD. It's not the nuisance it used to be. https://oddball.tech/ is running on lighttpd + freebsd/ppc and uses Let's Encrypt for SSL certificates. It also plays nicely with Classilla, so that's good. (Don't mind the landing page, if you actually go look, I haven't got anything fancier ready for public consumption yet.)

Blastoise1994 Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Not sure if it's been mentioned yet or not, but I think hosting tutorials on how to repair and/or upgrade your Macs on the wiki could be a good idea. I'd be willing to write up a few on the G3 Clamshell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cory5412 Posted August 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Unrelated update: We (the admins) can enable or disable HTML posting per groups. I was able to add, then edit, an HTML table in an article. The markup is a little weird, but perhaps that's just new HTML. I'll have to run this by the rest of the mods/admins, but my thought here is that either we (the mods/admins) can clean up and amend tables in articles, or we can create a user group of wiki authors/editors who have this permission. (Probably along with some other permissions, such as approving article submissions, etc.) It's not a permission level that the software appears comfortable with allowing to everybody.

Cory5412 Posted December 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 Dropping this in here as an article idea. Also, yes, I know the wiki is unavailable at the moment. We're waiting for wthww to get a moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
register Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 Could we probably combine the creation of a »sticky« with the creation of a stub in the wiki which links to the stickie in the forums? As written before, the wiki is a pretty good tool to write an ecyclopedia. The wiki is made to ease a lot of tasks involved into collaborative care for information of the sort we use. I am not a wiki nor a forum software expert, but I like to occasionally debug some text or to contribute some finds or thoughts. Please consider to use the best of the forums and the wiki, and probably nudge the userbase towards sustainability of useful information Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cory5412 Posted December 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Networking idea: what network interfaces for 68k/ppc mac require the use of special connection equipment In the context of Von's thread, what network adapters are incompatible with switch ports or 100+megabit Ethernet ports? As a baseline, to the best of my knowledge, all onboard Mac Ethernet is compatible with all modern switch ports. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

68kMLA Supporter sfiera Posted January 19, 2020 68kMLA Supporter Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Article idea: dip-switch settings for VGA adapters: Beyond the simple tables of “dip switch settings XYZ correspond to WxH” I wish I had some understanding of what particular dip-switches actually mean, in terms of tying together sense pins and sync pulses.

68kMLA Supporter pb3623 Posted February 13, 2020 68kMLA Supporter Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 How about ROM-inator ROM images for writing to SIMMs with various configurations and sizes (e.g., w/ Turbo 040 driver, w/ RAM check disabled, ROM disk, regular vs. MEGA SIMM) STL files for 3D-printed case/chassis parts, bezels, etc. (i.e., true parts and not a Mac Plus Apple Watch holder) I've seen both of these topics scattered across posts and it might be a good thing to have them all on the same page - it would probably encourage others to contribute.

LaPorta Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 I agree. If we all make a central repository for these, we could go and access, say, 3D printed SCSI2SD brackets and such easily. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cory5412 Posted April 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 Zip drive information in general. Probably structured in a couple ways: General overview of what removable storage technologies existed, properties of the different ones. Reference pages for each media with how-to/guides/recommendations and additional details a page detailing why Zip drives are the way they are any repair findings or troubleshooting suggestions we fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
