'users': [ (array) of users on the server.
{
'default': (boolean) Is the user still using their unmodified default index.html?
'favicon': (string) a url to an image representing the user
},

<h4>Systems status</h4>
<p><sub><em>Wed Oct 14 13:49:12 PDT 2015</em></sub></p>
<p>
~vilmibm released a rewrite to the server's infrastructure yesterday. Nothing should be different, but it'll be much easier to work on new features and consume fewer resources.
</p>
<p>
Currently, the <strong>guestbook</strong> is down. Usenet has also been disabled for now since no one was using it and it has a nontrivial impact on the system. If you want to talk about bringing usenet back, bring it up in irc &lt;3.

<h4>BIRTHDAY! The Town Turns 1</h4>
<p><sub><em>Sun Oct 11 18:54:35 UTC 2015</em></sub></p>
<p>
Exactly a year ago, <a href="/~vilmibm">~vilmibm</a> gave himself
a birthday present in the form of a small unix server meant for
commnunity and sharing. Now, tilde.town is a thriving community of
feels, peer education and beautiful digital art.
</p>
<p>
If you are not yet a towner, check out our <a
href="http://tilde.town/~wiki/conduct.html">code of conduct</a>,
look at some user pages, and <a
href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1FSv_-gEU9LDy0b5gL8xm23d5QomMHIIstgr_fL5GFmg/viewform?c=0&w=1">sign
up!</a>. Everyone is welcome here regardless of skill level and if
making SSH keys is a little scary, that's okay. Reach out to <a
href="https://twitter.com/tildetown">for help</a>.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Here's to another year of html and feels.</strong>
</p>
<h4>new stuff!</h4>
<p><sub><em>Sat Aug 1 17:27:15 PDT 2015</em></sub></p>
<p>
today was a day of things happening!
<ul>
<li>the first ever tilde.town volunteer admin meeting happened today. <a href="/~insom">~insom</a>, <a href="/~krowbar">~krowbar</a>, and <a href="/~vilmibm">~vilmibm</a> all met to talk about the future tilde.town and how to ease the burden of things like user signups. Marks the first ever international face-to-face meeting of townies. exciting!
</li>
<li>
<a href="/guestbook">guestbook</a> went live! (<em>lol</em>)
</li>
<li>
you can now click on the pretty ascii tilde.town over to the
left to visit a random page (or just go directly
to <a href="/cgi/random">/cgi/random</a>).
</li>
</ul>
as always, tilde.town is a place for html and feels. feels run
strong and well today. come say hi!
</p>
<p><sub><em>Sun Jul 26 18:01:58 PDT 2015</em></sub></p>
<h4>new homepage design</h4>
<p><sub><em>Sun Jul 26 18:01:58 PDT 2015</em></sub></p>
<p>
<a href="/~vilmibm">~vilmibm</a> made a cleaned up homepage. it's linking to two under construction feature--a new help desk for admin requests and a random page linker. there is also a new <a href="/~wiki/faq.html">FAQ</a>.
</p>
<p>
we've also hit a cool donation milestone of $60. thank you
everyone who has donated! our monthly costs are now covered and if
we hit $65 we can do some more server enhancements.
</p>
<h4>donations! also, new disk</h4>
<p><sub><em>Wed Apr 29 06:04:58 UTC 2015</em></sub></p> <p>An exciting day for
tilde.town. We now have way to donate via <a
href="https://www.patreon.com/nathanielksmith">patreon</a>. Thanks to all the
folx who have already become patrons! y'all make the heart of this sysadmin
warm and fuzz. A big part of the push for donations was a need for more server
space which we have as of tonight's server upgrade/reboot. The main tilde.town
server now has a 40gb disk. Enjoy!</p>
<p>Some updates coming down the pipe:
<ul>
<li>2gb quota for all users</li>
<li>fixed poetry server</li>
<li>better signup process/docs</li>
</ul>
</p>
<h4>welcome haiku</h4>
<p><sub><em> Thu Mar 5 21:19:42 UTC 2015</em></sub></p>
<p>If you signed up in the last two months or so you had a bum welcome present
in your /home. the script has been fixed and now everyone retroactively has a
welcome haiku in their home directory. enjoy.</p>
<h4>server restart</h4>
<p><sub><em>Tue Jan 27 21:13:27 UTC 2015</em></sub></p>
<p>Hi. Today tilde.town had to restart to pick up a patch for <a
href="http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2015/q1/276">CVE 2015-0235</a>.
data.tilde.town (our poetry server) has also been patched and restated. Sorry
for any inconvenience!</p>
<h4>lots of people</h4>
<p><sub><em>Thu Jan 1 07:37:16 UTC 2015</em></sub></p>
<p>we have ~370 users. isn't that wild?</p>
<h4>Scheduled Downtime Tonight</h4>
<p><sub><em>Wed Nov 26 21:19:12 UTC 2014</em></sub></p>
<p>To accommodate our growing user base, there will be a server resize/reboot
tonight (Pacific time). Sadly I cannot give an exact time as I still don't have
internet at my new place and will have to opportunistically find some to
execute this upgrade.</p>
<p>The server should only be down for a few minutes, but this will terminate
any running applications (like tmux/screen/irssi). Any files open in an editor
should be preserved by a swap file but you still may want to save and close
things in the next several hours.</p>
<p>Also, this upgrade means that tilde.town is no longer an essentially free
project, so I may put up something for donations soon.</p>
<h4>100+ users party report</h4>
<p><sub><em>Sun Nov 9 23:07:08 UTC 2014</em></sub></em>
<p>tilde.town now has 102 users. We crossed into three digits last night and
lots of townies hung out in irc to celebrate. Some new features even
launched!</p>
<ul>
<li>the homepage userlist is now sorted by modified time</li>
<li>there is now a shared <pre>tweet</pre> command that all users can use to tweet to the <a href="http://twitter.com/tildetown">@tildetown</a> account (protip: <pre>haiku | tweet</pre>)</li>
<li>run <pre>random_pokemon.sh</pre> to get a random ascii art pokemon (thanks, <a href="http://tilde.town/~sanqui">~sanqui</a>)</li>
<li>a <a href="http://tilde.town/~wiki">git-based wiki</a> that all townies can edit (thanks for the help, <a href="http://tilde.town/~datagrok">~datagrok</a>)</li>
<li>an IRC bot (thanks, <a href="http://tilde.town/~selfsame">~selfsame</a>) that plays numberwang</li>
<li>even moar learnings up on the page of <a href="http://tilde.town/~shanx">~shanx</a></li>
<li>general good feels</li>
</ul>
<h4>80 users!</h4>
<p><sub><em>Wed Oct 29 18:19:45 UTC 2014</em></sub></em>
<p>tilde.town just added its 80th user. Welcome! Some folks have been having
trouble with ssh public keys. Remember, public keys are really confusing if you
aren't too familiar with them, and there is no judgement if you can't
immediately get them to work. Feel free to tweet at <a
href="https://twitter.com/tildetown">@tildetown</a> or send an email to <a
href="mailto:nks@lambdaphil.es">~vilmibm</a> if you'd like some help.</p>

<h4>60 users</h4>
<p><sub><em>Sat Oct 25 19:37:47 UTC 2014</em></sub></em>
<p>tilde.town is up to 60 users. This is lovely! It is also only a tenth of our
planned total user capacity, so if you are interested in a tilde* account we'd
love to have you. You can even submit a user request with a fancy form now!</p>
<p>

<h4>Change of IP, warnings when you ssh</h4>
<p><sub><em>Sun Oct 19 03:28:59 UTC 2014</em></sub></p>
<p>
In the interest of making sure we don't suddenly disappear from the Internet
as a result of a dynamic IP change on AWS I switched to using an Elastic
IP (amusingly, "elastic" IPs are static).
</p>
<p>
The upside is that we now have a static IP (also it's free) (woo).
</p>
<p>
The downside is that when you try to SSH into tilde.town, now, you'll get an
error about "something nasty" and there will be many @ characters. You'll want
to edit your .ssh/known_hosts file and remove the entry for tilde.town (your
error message should have a cute copy-pasta-able one-liner for doing this for
you).
</p>
<p>
Go ahead and do that, and then log in With Confidence. Hopefully this won't happen again.
</p>
<p>
I'll close by mentioning the imminent arrival of many new tildeverse members. We (the tildeverse operators) are just about ready to accept the signups currently languishing in a waitlist. This means lots of new users, which is lovely, but may mean some growing pains while I adapt our server to the new user load in the most cost-effective way.
