Here's Paul's original document. Starting from here.
Oh man, I hope I can figure out how to save from vi. Let's see.

# NETIQUETTE
|

------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
* WHAT IS THIS?
|
||||
|
||||
Coming soon. We should have one, but let's discuss how to link to it.
|
||||
It is a UNIX server just like we used to use to host websites in 1995.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
* HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE ON THE SYSTEM?
|
||||
|
||||
A couple hundred. Otherwise it's ridiculous.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
* CAN I HAVE A LOGIN?
|
||||
|
||||
Until there are a couple hundred people, it's pretty open.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
* WHAT ARE THE STANDARDS OF BEHAVIOR?
|
||||
|
||||
Be as much of a nerd as you want. Don't make other users uncomfortable
|
||||
by talking about wangs and stuff. I'm old and cranky and I'll boot
|
||||
you.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
* CAN I...
|
||||
|
||||
ACTUALLY...go easy. There are a few hundred people on this
|
||||
box so it gets a little overwhelmed at times.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
* CAN I HOST .AIFF FILES AND THINGS?
|
||||
|
||||
No, my god. This is a fun place to play not a place to download
|
||||
Fractal Design Poser 3.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
* WHERE IS THE API?
|
||||
|
||||
There is an unofficial API for this unofficial site at:
|
||||
http://tilde.club/~danielbachhuber/club-sites.json
|
||||
|
||||
There is more API at:
|
||||
http://tilde.club/~gabriel/who.json

||||

||||
|
||||
NEW USER TUTORIAL
|
||||
|
||||
tilde.club is just a tiny tiny server running linux on the amazon
|
||||
cloud. Using tilde.club requires you to understand shells and ssh. If
|
||||
you don't know about those things, consider this a challenge and
|
||||
opportunity to learn! This concludes the tutorial.
|
||||
|
||||
IMPORTANT NOTES
|
||||
|
||||
Since I've now saddled myself in this clown rodeo, a few notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- No drama. What constitutes drama? There is a Mary J. Blige song
|
||||
called "No More Drama." If Mary J. Blige would think it was drama,
|
||||
it is drama.
|
||||
|
||||
- vim AND emacs are installed, use the one that is right for you. See
|
||||
"No drama," above.
|
||||
|
||||
- Chat with anyone you want using the talk command (ytalk seems to
|
||||
have gone missing from the Internet!). Just amuse yourself by
|
||||
pinging people and saying stuff at random. Don't be shy. If they
|
||||
bail or don't reply no worries. This is a unix server. The only
|
||||
people who want free accounts on unix servers are awesome cool
|
||||
loving generous nerds.
|
||||
|
||||
- If you don't want to chat there's a command that lets you indicate
|
||||
that. See if you can remember that command!
|
||||
|
||||
- This is a guilt-free project and total disaster is ALWAYS a possible
|
||||
outcome. I'll cover costs up to about $100 a month. I doubt I'll let
|
||||
more than a hundred or two hundred people on the system because
|
||||
randos ruin. There are a hundred people now.
|
||||
|
||||
- This thing is a de-facto whitey sausagefest so everyone be actively,
|
||||
aggressively cool and sweet and remember that the only binary that's
|
||||
real is the one that we use on our microchips.
|
||||
|
||||
MY SACRED VOWS TO YOU
|
||||
|
||||
I will do my best to do the following things:
|
||||
|
||||
1) I will make a weekly backup of the public_html directories so when
|
||||
some teen in Estonia decides to hack in and ruin everything we can
|
||||
bring up a new server and limp back to life.
|
||||
|
||||
2) I won't shut things down without a month of warning and once it's
|
||||
shut down I'll make sure a file with all the public_html directories
|
||||
is uploaded to archive.org.
|
||||
|
||||
3) If any community forms at all (DUBIOUS BUT SURPRISE ME) I promise I
|
||||
won't blow up the community without, like, first pointing everyone to
|
||||
some free IRC channel or something.
