Started up the netiquette file, which requires some tweaks to FAQ since it's based on

~ford's original faq command that combines FAQ stuff with culture stuff.

#TILDE.CLUB FAQ
#Tilde.club netiquette
------------------------------------------------------------
* WHAT IS THIS?
##Two phrases we use a lot
It is a UNIX server just like we used to use to host websites in 1995.
* DON'T HACK THE GIBSON
* No drama. Be respectful. Have fun. We're all trying, and we're all in this together :)
------------------------------------------------------------
* HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE ON THE SYSTEM?
##Details
A couple hundred. Otherwise it's ridiculous.
First things first, explore and have fun! But remember, this is a single linux server trying to support the weight of several hundred nerds. Don't host servers, don't run heavy processes, don't host giant files. In short, be gentle.
------------------------------------------------------------
* CAN I HAVE A LOGIN?
More about [scripting netiquette here](http://tilde.club/#WHEREISTHIS)
Until there are a couple hundred people, it's pretty open.
Now let's talk about drama. There is a Mary J. Blige song called "No More Drama." If Mary J. Blige would think it was drama, it is drama. No flamewars about emacs/vi, no matter how historically accurate they may be. No guilting people, shaming them, or making them feel bad. More benefit of the doubt and less "are you kidding me?"
------------------------------------------------------------
* 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

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.
