<p>We've come a long way since December, huh? What started as a pretty small droplet running in Digital Ocean, offering almost nothing besides a shell to where we are today.</p>
<ul>
<li>IRC leaf node on tilde.cha (thunix.tilde.chat)</li>
<li>Gopher Server</li>
<li>New Domain Name (thunix.net)</li>
<li>Fully configured email and webmail, with DMARC, DKIM, SPF, and Rainloop mail</li>
<li>ZNC</li>
<li>Minecraft</li>
<li>Minetest</li>
<li>BZFlag</li>
<li>New killer website</li>
<li>Dedicated hardware, with great specs</li>
<li>GNU Project mirror</li>
</ul>
<p>These are just some of the biggest projects finished up. We went from 2 users (Myself and amcclure), to 62 users! Welcome all newcomers!</p>
<p>We've also gotten the first donation(s) in. I promised to give you a proper state of accounting, so here it is:</p>
<h2 id="donations-in-usd-1">Donations (In USD) +$1</h2>
<p>Domain Name -$1 IP Address -$1 Server -$36 ----------------------- Total -$35</p>
<p>Now, I don't want people to be alarmed! I'm funding this because it's fun, not because I expect to be rich. Donations help, but are not required. I just want to make sure people have a full accounting of what is coming in, and going out.</p>
<p>When you get a moment, say thank you to TechEmporium for the website facelift. He did most of the heavy lifting, and it is appreciated.</p>
<p>For any service that requires a password, if you choose to use it, will require us to set a password on your account. Just ask a sysadmin for help with that (myself, amcclure, or naglfar), and we'll get you all set. Right now, only ZNC and Webmail/Email requires an account password.</p>
<p>And, I'm sure you're sick of hearing me say this, but feel free to open a PR to make a system config change! This community is about learning, and offering users things users want. You can open a PR at https://tildegit.org/thunix, and do so in the appropriate project.</p>
<p>Enough rambling from me. Have fun, and feel free to reach out to us, or me. I'm generally a nice guy :)</p>
