<h2>what isn't tilde.town?</h2>
|
|
||||||
<p>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 <i>not</i> a startup. it is <i>not</i> 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 <b>not</b> <a href="http://tilde.club">tilde.club</a> but is inspired by it.</p>
|
|
||||||
<h2>who is tilde.town?</h2>
|
|
||||||
<p>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 <a
|
|
||||||
href="http://tilde.town/~vilmibm">~vilmibm</a> whom you are more than welcome to
|
|
||||||
talk at via <a href="https://twitter.com/nate_smith">twitter</a> or <a
|
|
||||||
href="mailto:nathanielksmith@gmail.com">email</a>.</p>
|
|
||||||
<h2>why tilde.town?</h2>
|
|
||||||
<p>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.</p>

<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>

<h3>60 users</h3>

<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>

<h3>Change of IP, warnings when you ssh</h3>
|
|
||||||
<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.

~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 <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 <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>
|
||||||

<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>

<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>

<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>
|
||||||
|
<strong><a href="http://goo.gl/forms/8IvQFTDjlo">submit a user account request!</a></strong>

<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.

<h2>what isn't tilde.town?</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>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 <i>not</i> a startup. it is <i>not</i> 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 <b>not</b> <a href="http://tilde.club">tilde.club</a> but is inspired by it.</p>
|
||||||
|
<h2>who is tilde.town?</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>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 <a
|
||||||
|
href="http://tilde.town/~vilmibm">~vilmibm</a> whom you are more than welcome to
|
||||||
|
talk at via <a href="https://twitter.com/nate_smith">twitter</a> or <a

|
href="mailto:nathanielksmith@gmail.com">email</a>.</p>
|
||||||
|
<h2>why tilde.town?</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>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.</p>
