+ what is the tilde.town?+tilde.town is an intentional community focused on radical inclusivity and the creation of digital art. We strive to create a place that is open to people of all backgrounds and technical ability and strive together to make beautiful works of art that can be conveyed via the web. +how do i join tilde.town?+sign up with this fancy form, here! it takes a few days since there is +just one person managing the signups and each user must be manually added. +Please read our code of +conduct and only sign up if you agree to be bound by it. +sign up form+what isn't tilde.town?+it's never super fun to define stuff in a negative sense, but there has been a lot of confusion around what tilde.town is and isn't. tilde.town is not a startup. it is not commercial in any way. tilde.town, as a side effect, has features of a social network but it is not intended to be the "next" anything (except maybe geocities or angelfire). tilde.town is not tilde.club but is inspired by it. +who is tilde.town?+tilde.town is made up of its members. we are a group of creative folk +interested in peer education and digital art. the founder is ~vilmibm whom you are more than welcome to +talk at via twitter or email. +why tilde.town?+making websites is harder than ever; everything that +can be commercialized is being commercialized; knowledge is being carved up and +locked away for profit; software is increasingly proprietary and bloated. +tilde.town is an experiment in reclaiming a bygone era of low-barrier, +judgement-free, low stakes expression with a focus on low-tech art and +pseudonymous creation. + |

+tilde town news+ +donations! also, new disk+Wed Apr 29 06:04:58 UTC 2015 An exciting day for +tilde.town. We now have way to donate via patreon. 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! + +Some updates coming down the pipe: +
welcome haiku+Thu Mar 5 21:19:42 UTC 2015 +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. + +server restart+Tue Jan 27 21:13:27 UTC 2015 +Hi. Today tilde.town had to restart to pick up a patch for CVE 2015-0235. +data.tilde.town (our poetry server) has also been patched and restated. Sorry +for any inconvenience! + +lots of people+Thu Jan 1 07:37:16 UTC 2015 +we have ~370 users. isn't that wild? + +Scheduled Downtime Tonight+Wed Nov 26 21:19:12 UTC 2014 + +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. +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. +Also, this upgrade means that tilde.town is no longer an essentially free +project, so I may put up something for donations soon. + +100+ users party report+Sun Nov 9 23:07:08 UTC 2014 + 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! + +
80 users!+Wed Oct 29 18:19:45 UTC 2014 + + 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 @tildetown or send an email to ~vilmibm if you'd like some help. + + + +60 users+Sat Oct 25 19:37:47 UTC 2014 + 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! + ++submit a user account request! + + + +Change of IP, warnings when you ssh+Sun Oct 19 03:28:59 UTC 2014 ++ 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). + + ++The upside is that we now have a static IP (also it's free) (woo). + + ++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). + + ++Go ahead and do that, and then log in With Confidence. Hopefully this won't happen again. + + ++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. + + + |
