-

-

how do i join tilde.town?

-

-

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.

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!

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.

tilde.town just added its 80th user. Welcome! Some folks have been having

-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.

tilde.town is up to 60 users. This is lovely! It is also only a tenth of our

-love to have you. You can even submit a user request with a fancy form now!

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.

Systems status

+

Wed Oct 14 13:49:12 PDT 2015

+

+ ~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. +

+

+ Currently, the guestbook 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 <3. +
