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. - - - -BIRTHDAY! The Town Turns 1-Sun Oct 11 18:54:35 UTC 2015 -- Exactly a year ago, ~vilmibm 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. - -- If you are not yet a towner, check out our code of conduct, - look at some user pages, and sign - up!.

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.

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.

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. - + | + | +
