Saturn expelled his father, and seized his throne

She continued to look back, but in vain

It is necessary and beside the large sort is puff.

It is a mere nothing after all

The doors of the two rooms were just opposite each other.

She will break it to you better than I can.

I shall just go round by Mrs. Cole 's

Keep your raptures for Harriet 's face.

She will break it to you better than I can.

<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 <3.

<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.

<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>

<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>

<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.
