We should have one, but let's discuss how to link to it. \ No newline at end of file +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. \ No newline at end of file
