State of the Thunix - Mar 1, 2019
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.
- IRC leaf node on tilde.cha (thunix.tilde.chat)
- Gopher Server
- New Domain Name (thunix.net)
- Fully configured email and webmail, with DMARC, DKIM, SPF, and Rainloop mail
- ZNC
- Minecraft
- Minetest
- BZFlag
- New killer website
- Dedicated hardware, with great specs
- GNU Project mirror
These are just some of the biggest projects finished up. We went from 2 users (Myself and amcclure), to 62 users! Welcome all newcomers!
We've also gotten the first donation(s) in. I promised to give you a proper state of accounting, so here it is:
Donations (In USD) +$1
Domain Name -$1 IP Address -$1 Server -$36 ----------------------- Total -$35
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.
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.
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.
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.
Enough rambling from me. Have fun, and feel free to reach out to us, or me. I'm generally a nice guy :)
