Addenda, errata:

The late, great, lamented, Utah Phillips, once said: "No matter how
new age you get, old age will kick your ass."

Yeah, verily, forsooth: I had some memory ECC parity errors, for which
this is the correction:

I forgot to add these resources for VSI/VMS Hobbyists:

VMware.Products.Multi.Keygen.DC.20240208.WinALL.MacOS.Linux-BTCRiSO
ipfs://Qmdgguu8UmHc82n5rDqUYg4WKaSePbLETFjNc1tULdRsXS

VMware.Products.UKG.1.0.21.1014-2022.11.18.Multi-Keygen-iND
ipfs://QmdK6zEHyNB2wqJq85dUjZ8s4CuiGHyCvB4PsYvXuapXK1

They can be retrieved from alt.binaries.warez:

https://binsearch.info/search?poster=broadcom.liberation.front@vmware.rce

Or the can be retrieved from the IPFS:

https://github.com/ipfs/ipget

https://ipfs.io/

However, the IPFS CIDs have not propagated through the network just
yet, but can be downloaded, by appending the target CID, to one of
these URLs:
