-# Geocities-inspired Guestbook
-
-A modern take on the classic Geocities guestbook, built with PHP and SQLite. This guestbook allows for multi-user functionality, user-specific themes, and adheres to current coding standards.
-
-## Features
-
- **Multi-user Support**: Each user can have their own guestbook by simply accessing [https://tilde.club/guestbook/?user=username](https://tilde.club/guestbook/?user=username).
- **Custom Themes**: Users can specify their own CSS theme by placing a `.css` file in their directory and specifying it with the `theme` parameter in the URL.
- **Referrer Validation**: The guestbook checks the referrer to ensure that entries are being made from the correct user's page.
- **SQLite Backend**: Uses SQLite for a lightweight and serverless database solution.
-
-## Customization
-
-### Themes
-
-Users can specify their own theme by placing a `.css` file in their directory. This theme can be applied by adding the `theme` parameter to the URL, e.g., [https://tilde.club/guestbook/?user=username&theme=cssname](https://tilde.club/guestbook/?user=username&theme=cssname).
-
-A default `dark.css` theme is provided in the repository as an example.
-
-### Adding Entries
-
-User need to link to the guestbook from their tilde page to https://tilde.club/guestbook/?user=username  or 
-https://tilde.club/guestbook/?user=username&theme=themecssname and then your viewers can
-simply fill out the form on your guestbook page and submit.

+title: CGI - Making web applications like it's 90s
+category: tutorials
+author: xwindows
+---
+
+Web programming today is a mess:
+gazillion of frameworks and libraries
+thrown on top of each other,
+runaway complexity so rampant,
+while the whole setup teetering closer
+to the state of house of cards than ever.
+You know it had become so bad
+because people have now started shipping you their computers
+(a la Docker)
+just for you to be able to run their web applications...
+
+Don't you ever hate your middleware for pulling in millions of dependencies?
+Feeling so done with juggling between multiple web programming libraries?
+Getting tired of seeing your PHP script break
+on every single PHP update that arrived?
+Looking for alternatives that could shine
+even in lowly environments like routers and single board computers?
+Would like something more retro and longer-standing for a change?
+
+If so,
+**welcome to the olden world of CGI programming!**
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+At the most basic level of web-serving,
+when your browser sent a request to the web server,
+the server would check for a file residing on that URI path requested;
+if exists,
+it would give that file's content to your browser,
+the end.
+The point of CGI is to extend that
+with the following idea:
+if that path is not pointing to a file,
+but rather to an executable program;
+instead of serving the program binary to the client,
+we run that program,
+with request body piped to its standard input,
+and pipe its standard output back to the client as a response.
+(Lawyers will say this is a sly oversimplification,
+but you get an idea)
+
+> By the way,
+> CGI stands for <q>Common Gateway Interface</q>.
+> Of course,
+> a very common question that follows would be
+> why is it being called <em>gateway</em>:
+> it was because in early 1990s,
+> the main use of this kind of server-executed program
+> was not web application,
+> but for writing glue logic
+> to access institution's already-existing in-house infosystem,
+> which previously only accessible as command line programs
+> run via on-premise terminal
+> or over telnet/dial-in shell session.
+> 
+> Such glue logic programs would accept the request,
+> invoke the on-server infosystem programs with correct parameters,
+> dress its output a bit
+> before sending that result to web browser;
+> making them <em>gateways</em>
+> to let users from the web
+> access those in-house information systems.
+> These were in fact,
+> the main uses that pushed for the effort
+> to standardize web servers
+> into using the same _common interface_ for running such _gateway_ programs;
+> and that's where the name came from.
+
+Anyway,
+by using just standard input/output and some environment variables,
+it means you can use **virtually any** compiled **programming language**,
+and any shebang-compatible interpreted programming language
+for server-side web development.
+There would be no complicated protocol you need to grok;
+and when you chose your language wisely,
+there would be no dependency hell to watch out for,
+no API/ABI breakage to rewrite around,
+and no upgrade treadmill forced on you.
+Life was definitely simpler back in the days;
+and by using CGI,
+your life could be simple _today_ too.
+
+For these reasons,
+while having limited amount of bling and bang to offer,
+CGI has been standing through time,
+as the lowest common denominator,
+programming language-agnostic,
+platform-independent scheme for running web applications;
+from its first standardization at the dawn of World Wide Web era
+nearly 3 decades ago,
+to today.
+And... did you know that the development of PHP was originally
+become possible because of CGI too?
+
+Tilde.club have been supporting CGI programming
+on user web space since 17 May 2020.
+As CGI was originally conceived
+in shared institutional Unix server environment;
+on a tilde,
+it means we are experiencing it
+in its natural habitat.
+
+Hello World!
+------------
+
+As simple as it is,
+everybody has to start somewhere;
+so the following are example <q>Hello World</q> CGI programs
+in many programming languages that Tilde.club supports.
+All of them produce HTTP response with status code 200,
+<q>`text/plain`</q> MIME type,
+and simple <q>Hello World</q> text as a response body.
+Note that **every example scripts here
+all work under <q>`.cgi`</q> file extension**;
+other language-specific file extension that work
+would be noted in each example.
+
+- Perl
+	(also works with <q><samp>.pl</samp></q> file extension):
+	
+		#!/usr/bin/perl
+		print "Status: 200\n";
+		print "Content-Type: text/plain\n";
+		print "\n";
+		print "Hello World!\n";
+	
+	Note that Perl was the main language of choice
+	back in the heyday of CGI programming.
+- Bourne shell script
+	(also works with <q><samp>.sh</samp></q> file extension):
+	
+		#!/bin/sh
+		echo "Status: 200"
+		echo "Content-Type: text/plain"
+		echo
+		echo "Hello World!"
+- Python
+	(usable under both 3.x and 2.x,
+	also works with <q><samp>.py</samp></q> file extension):
+	
+		#!/usr/bin/python
+		print("Status: 200")
+		print("Content-Type: text/plain")
+		print("")
+		print("Hello World!")
+- AWK:
+	
+		#!/usr/bin/awk -E
+		BEGIN {
+			print "Status: 200"
+			print "Content-Type: text/plain"
+			print
+			print "Hello World!"
+		}
+- Lua
+	(also works with <q><samp>.lua</samp></q> extension):
+	
+		#!/usr/bin/lua
+		print("Status: 200")
+		print("Content-Type: text/plain")
+		print("")
+		print("Hello World!")
+- Tcl:
+	
+		#!/usr/bin/tclsh
+		puts "Status: 200"
+		puts "Content-Type: text/plain"
+		puts ""
+		puts "Hello World!"
+- Common Lisp:
+	
+		#!/usr/bin/sbcl --script
+		(progn
+			(princ "Status: 200") (terpri)
+			(princ "Content-Type: text/plain") (terpri)
+			(terpri)
+			(princ "Hello World!") (terpri)
+		)
+
+Pick the language you like,
+put the script (or executable) in a file anywhere inside your <q>`public_html`</q> subdirectory
+of your Tilde.club home directory,
+with appropriate file extension;
+and also make sure that the thing is **world-readable** _and_ **world-executable**
+(something like <q>`chmod +rx YOURFILE.EXT`</q> would do).
+If you use other language that compiles to a binary executable,
+just world-executable permission will suffice.
+
+The URL for accessing a CGI program from a web browser
+is no different from accessing
+regular file hosted on your Tilde.club web space.
+
+Note that there are no assembly,
+C,
+and C++ example here,
+and that is intentional:
+you are supposed to already know such languages well already
+&mdash;including how to program it _safely_ and _defensively_&mdash;
+before even thinking about trying them in this task.
+
+Program Output
+--------------
+
+Output of your CGI programs is expected to have two parts:
+
+1. Lines you printed before the first blank line
+   will be treated as HTTP response headers fields:
+   
+   - The only exception is the <q>`Status:`</q> pseudo-header,
+     which will not be output as a real response header,
+     but its value will be rather used as HTTP status code of the response.
+     - When <q>`Status:`</q> pseudo-header is omitted,
+       the HTTP status code of your response would be 200.
+     - Your program ought **NOT** to output this as a real HTTP response line
+       (<q>`HTTP/1.0 200 OK`</q> and suchlike).
+       Doing so is off-spec;
+       and while some servers handle this okay,
+       Tilde.club doesn't.
+   - You **MUST** output <q>`Content-Type:`</q> header;
+     or else the server would reject your program's output
+     and give HTTP 502 error to the client instead.
+   - A blank line ends the headers section.
+   - You should output headers
+     (including the blank line terminating the headers)
+     in platform's native line ending,
+     which is LF in case of Tilde.club and other GNU/Linux hosts;
+     but in practice,
+     CR/LF is accepted as well.
+   
+1. And what you output after the first blank line
+   is your response body (i.e. content).
+   This part can use any line ending in case of text,
+   or it could even be binary;
+   as long as it fits
+   with the <q>`Content-Type:`</q> header value you had just printed.
+   Empty response body is allowed as well;
+   by not outputting anything after that first blank line.
+
+Program Input
+-------------
+
+Information from HTTP request
+arrive at your CGI program in two different channels:
+
+1. Request line,
+   request headers,
+   misc request information,
+   and server information:
+   these arrive as environment variables.
+1. Request body:
+   this arrives verbatim as standard input data.
+
+Unless you are processing HTTP POST or PUT request
+(which are quite advanced stuff),
+you don't really need to look at request body at all.
+So the information of interest are mostly contained
+in the environment variables:
+
+- The HTTP request method used
+  would be passed to your program as a value of environment variable `REQUEST_METHOD`.
+- The part after <q>`?`</q> of request URI
+  would be passed to your CGI program
+  as the value of environment variable `QUERY_STRING`.
+  - This variable will always be present.
+    If the request URI had no <q>`?`</q>,
+    or there was nothing after <q>`?`</q>;
+    the value would be empty.
+- Each request headers field's name would be converted to uppercase,
+  prepended with <q>`HTTP_`</q>,
+  and set as environment variable
+  with value equals to the header value received from the client.
+  For example,
+  <q>`Host: tilde.club`</q> header line
+  would be converted to an environment variable `HTTP_HOST`
+  with value <q>`tilde.club`</q>.
+
+The following are environment variables from the CGI 1.1 specification
+which are set for CGI programs in Tilde.club,
+in alphabetical order:
+
+> `CONTENT_LENGTH`,
+> `CONTENT_TYPE`,
+> `GATEWAY_INTERFACE`,
+> `QUERY_STRING`,
+> `REMOTE_ADDR`,
+> `REMOTE_PORT`,
+> `REQUEST_METHOD`,
+> `SCRIPT_NAME`,
+> `SERVER_NAME`,
+> `SERVER_PORT`,
+> `SERVER_PROTOCOL`,
+> `SERVER_SOFTWARE`
+
+- You can find out more what each of these variables mean
+  in the original CGI 1.1 specification,
+  linked in the [Further Reading](#further-reading) section below.
+
+And the following are other environment variables
+that which are not in CGI 1.1 specification,
+but are set for CGI programs in Tilde.club:
+
+> `DOCUMENT_ROOT`,
+> `DOCUMENT_URI`,
+> `HTTPS`,
+> `REDIRECT_STATUS`,
+> `REQUEST_SCHEME`,
+> `REQUEST_URI`,
+> `SCRIPT_FILENAME`,
+> `SERVER_ADDR`
+
+**Notes:**
+
+- `REMOTE_HOST` variable is always absent;
+  including when the remote host does have a valid reverse-DNS address.
+- `REMOTE_IDENT` variable is always absent;
+  including when the remote client does connect
+  from a host with Identd service.
+- While both `HTTPS` and `REQUEST_SCHEME` variables
+  could be used for discerning HTTPS from plain old HTTP request;
+  checking for `HTTPS` value <q>`on`</q> is to be used
+  if you expect your CGI program to be portable to Apache HTTP Server.
+  - This can be used for ensuring a correct version of Atom or RSS feed
+    got served on a right protocol.
+
+Program Execution
+-----------------
+
+These are conditions that your CGI programs would be running in:
+
+- One instance of CGI program would be executed to service one request;
+  and that instance would terminate at the end of response.
+- Multiple instances of a CGI program could be run at the same time.
+- Your CGI program would start after the server
+  had read the entire request header from the client
+  (but not the request body, if any);
+  and only when the request URI matched your CGI program of course.
+- Your CGI program would be run inside its directory
+  (and not other location like server binary's directory).
+- Once your CGI program runs,
+  its standard input would be fed with the request body
+  (if any).
+- If you are going to process request body,
+  you ought to do so before producing any output.
+  (HTTP is a request-response protocol,
+  remember?)
+- Everything your program output on standard error stream
+  would go into the server's error log.
+- CGI program that did not finish running for too long
+  will cause the server to return HTTP 504 <q>Gateway Time-out</q> error
+  to the client instead of its response.
+
+Tips
+----
+
+- Avoid making your CGI program a time hog;
+  good CGI programs start quickly and finish quickly.
+- Avoid making your CGI program a resource hog;
+  just like everything else you do on Tilde.club shell.
+- Avoid making your CGI program a security hole.
+  For this reason,
+  using C or C++ for a non-trivial CGI program are **not** recommended
+  unless you actually know your craft.
+- Remember:
+  it costs Tilde.club 1 program execution
+  to service one HTTP request to a CGI program;
+  use it responsibly
+  and for things that matter.
+
+Setup-Specific Notes
+--------------------
+
+Following are tidbits specific
+to the CGI setup used in Tilde.club:
+
+- If you would like to make CGI program a directory index,
+  name it <q><samp>index.cgi</samp></q>.
+  (<q><samp>index.sh</samp></q> works too in case of shell script)
+- There is no database daemon of any kind.
+  (If you would like to use SQLite,
+  see below for a caveat about credential and files)
+
+And some caveats:
+
+- There is no support for <var>PATH_INFO</var> environment variable;
+  you can blame Nginx for this one.
+  
+  This mean you cannot simulate files and directory-like URIs
+  (like <q>`/~SOMEONE/category.cgi/automobile/ev`</q>)
+  under your CGI program;
+  the server will simply return HTTP 404 error for such URIs
+  even when <q>`category.cgi`</q> exist and being executable.
+- Avoid leaving files with following extensions in your web space
+  when you don't intend for them to be run as CGI:
+  
+  - `.cgi`
+  - `.pl`
+  - `.sh`
+  - `.py`
+  - `.lua`
+  
+  This is because in current setup,
+  requests to these files will be forwarded to a CGI handler anyway,
+  even when their corresponding executable bit is not set;
+  while it would not really run such script,
+  it would result in HTTP 502 error being sent to client.
+  If you would like to distribute these verbatim as source files,
+  you might want to workaround by renaming such files
+  to add <q><samp>.txt</samp></q> at the end.
+- CGI programs here run under web server's credentials:
+  user <q><samp>nginx</samp></q>
+  and group <q><samp>nginx</samp></q>
+  (user ID <samp>994</samp>,
+  group ID <samp>990</samp>);
+  tread carefully if you need to make your program read/write
+  private files.

+```bash
+$ mkdir -p ~/public_git
+```
+
+The web server is already allowed to traverse `~/public_git`, so you do **not** have to chmod anything manually.
+
+---
+
+## 2  Add a repository
+
+Only **bare** repos are accepted (they have no working tree inside them).
+
+```bash
+# create a brand‑new bare repository
+$ cd ~/public_git
+$ git init --bare hello.git
+```
+
+or push an existing project:
+
+```bash
+$ cd ~/my/project
+# add tilde as a remote and mirror‑push everything
+$ git remote add tilde ssh://<username>@tilde.club/~/public_git/project.git
+$ git push --mirror tilde
+```
+
+You can repeat for as many repos as you like; just keep each one directly in
+`~/public_git/` and make sure the name ends with `.git`.
+
+---
+
+## 3  Browse your repos
+
+```
+Index page   : https://tilde.club/~<username>/git/
+Single repo  : https://tilde.club/~<username>/git/<repo>.git/
+```
+
+Example for user **deepend**:
+
+```
+https://tilde.club/~deepend/git/          # lists everything
+https://tilde.club/~deepend/git/hello.git/  # specific repo
+```
+
+The header will say `~deepend Git Repositories`, commits are clickable, diffs
+are highlighted, and the cloning URL is shown near the top right.
+
+---
+
+## 4  Update a repository
+
+Because the repo is bare you **push** into it; cgit shows the new state
+immediately.
+
+```bash
+$ git push tilde main          # normal
+$ git push --mirror tilde      # full mirror (branches + tags)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5  Remove a repository
+
+Simply delete or rename the directory:
+
+```bash
+$ rm -rf ~/public_git/oldstuff.git
+```
+
+The entry disappears from the index on the next page load.
+
+---
+
+## FAQ
+
+### Can I hide a repo from the list?
+
+Move it somewhere else in your home directory or make it non‑bare.
+`cgit` only scans `~/public_git/*.git`.
+
+### Why bare repos only?
+
+Internal `.git/` directories inside non‑bare repos confuse cgit’s scanner and
+produce broken links like `/repo.git/.git/`.
+Bare repos avoid that and are the normal way to publish Git over HTTP.
+
+### Clone / pull URL?
+
+Use SSH for write access:
+
+```
+ssh://<username>@tilde.club/~/public_git/<repo>.git
+```
+
+or plain HTTPS for read‑only:
+
+```
+https://tilde.club/~<username>/git/<repo>.git
+```

-Key-bindings in Emacs are typically longer than normal key-bindings used outside of Emacs, usually being a combination of what would be two "normal" key-bindings.

+Interactive Learning
+--------------------
+
+The best way to begin learning, is the interactive way. GNU Emacs has a built-in command that is specifically to learning the basic of GNU Emacs. To access it, you can press `C-h t`, or execute the GNU Emacs command named `help-with-tutorial` (pressing `M-x help-with-tutorial`).
+
+To close the tutorial, use `C-x k` to kill the buffer.

+Cut, Copy, and Paste are all available in the Edit menu.
+
+Emacs is Self-Documented
+------------------------
+
+GNU Emacs is a very big program, and to master it, it takes a lot of time. GNU Emacs is an LISP environment, where you can *grow* a lot. Which makes learning GNU Emacs, a great investment of time; because you can do basically everything, related to text, and, with time, you will master GNU Emacs flexibility. Which means you will be able to do anything with GNU Emacs.
+
+But you don't need to know everything that GNU Emacs has to offer (is there anyone that does know?).... The most important thing to know, is how to seek for help. And GNU Emacs is there to help you.
+
+To access the main help menu of GNU Emacs, you press `C-h C-h`. This will open a new buffer, where you can interact. In this buffer, there is, for example, " b  Show all keybindings" entry. This means that if you now press "b" it will show all the keybindings of the buffer.
+
+And, if you are in any other buffer, and want to know all the keybindings quickly, you may, instead, press `C-h b` (mind that this "b", after the `C-h`, has the same effect as pressing "b" in the main menu help). `C-h` in GNU Emacs, means exactly, I want help. Then follow it with a keystroke that say the type of help you want.

+------------------------
+
+To help keep tilde.club running smoothly, we've introduced disk quotas. This helps make sure everyone gets their fair share of space and keeps the system in good shape.
+
+**Here's what you need to know:**
+
+-   **Soft Limit:** 1 GB – You'll get a heads-up if you go over this, but you can still use more space up to the hard limit.
+-   **Hard Limit:** 3 GB – This is the max. If you hit this limit, you'll need to clear some space before adding more files.
+-   **Grace Period:** 1 week – If you exceed the soft limit, you have 7 days to get back under it before the hard limit kicks in.
+
+You can check your usage and see how much space you have left by running the `resources-used` script in your home directory.
+
+If you have any questions or run into any issues, just reach out. We're all in this together!

+
+# Tilde.club Help Desk Guide
+
+Welcome! This Help Desk system provides a quick, self-serve way to:
+
+1. **Request or redeem a new SSH key** for your tilde account.  
+2. **Reset your account password** (if you've forgotten it).
+
+Below you’ll find step-by-step instructions on how to use the help desk system when you **SSH** into the `help` user. 
+
+---
+
+## Accessing the Help Desk
+
+1. Open a terminal on your local machine.  
+2. **SSH** into the **help** account (adjust the hostname to your actual tilde server name):
+   ```bash
+   ssh help@tilde.club
+   ```
+3. You’ll see a welcome message and a **main menu** with numbered options.
+
+---
+
+## Main Menu Overview
+
+After logging in, you’ll see three main options:
+
+1. **SSH Key Help**  
+2. **Password Help**  
+3. **Exit**
+
+Select the option that applies by typing its corresponding number and pressing **Enter**.
+
+---
+
+## 1. SSH Key Help
+
+When you choose **SSH Key Help** at the main menu, you’ll see another menu:
+
+1. **Request a new SSH key**  
+2. **Redeem a code** for a new SSH key  
+3. **Return** to the previous menu
+
+### 1.1 Request a New SSH Key
+
+1. Pick **“I want to request a new SSH key”** (option 1).  
+2. **Enter the email** you registered with your tilde account. The system does a simple check to ensure it’s valid.  
+3. If the email matches an existing account, you’ll receive a **“request code”** at that address.  
+4. After receiving that code, **log out** or press **Enter** to return to the main menu.
+
+### 1.2 Redeem a New SSH Key
+
+1. Back in the **SSH Key Help** menu, choose **“I have a code from my email and need to redeem it.”**  
+2. Paste in the **request code** you received.  
+3. The system confirms your username.  
+4. When prompted, **paste your new public SSH key** (the part that starts with `ssh-ed25519` or `ssh-rsa` or similar).  
+5. The system appends your key to your `~/.ssh/authorized_keys`.  
+6. You’ll see a success message, and you can then **log in** to your tilde with that new key.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Password Help
+
+At the main menu, choosing **Password Help** displays:
+
+1. **Request a password reset code**  
+2. **Redeem a password reset code**  
+3. **Return** to the previous menu
+
+### 2.1 Request a Password Reset Code
+
+1. Choose **“Request a password reset code.”**  
+2. **Enter your email** address.  
+3. The system sends a **reset code** to your email if the account matches.  
+4. Exit or return to the menu once you have the code.
+
+### 2.2 Redeem a Password Reset Code
+
+1. Choose **“Redeem a password reset code.”**  
+2. **Paste in** the code from your email.  
+3. Enter a **new password** for your tilde account, then **confirm** it.  
+4. Upon success, the system updates your account’s password immediately.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Exiting the Help Desk
+
+Simply choose **“I’d like to leave this help desk”** (option 3 in the main menu) or press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>D</kbd> (end of file) to disconnect.
+
+---
+
+## Tips & Troubleshooting
+
+- **Time Limit**: Each prompt has a 2-minute inactivity timer. If you wait too long, the help desk **exits** automatically. Just log in again to resume.  
+- **Email Didn’t Arrive?** Check your spam folder. If you still don’t see it, contact root@tilde.club.  
+- **Invalid Email**: If you mistype an email or use an unrecognized domain, you’ll see an error. Double-check your address.  
+- **Incorrect Code**: If the code was typed incorrectly or expired, the system will refuse it. Request a new one if needed.

+title: Adding a web counter to your page
+author: deepend
+category: tutorials
+---
+
+To display a visit counter on your webpage, you'll need to edit your `index.html` file and insert a `<script>` tag that loads the counter.
+
+Type: `nano index.html` to open your file for editing.
+
+Add the following line *exactly where you want the counter to appear*:
+
+```html
+<script src="https://counter.tilde.club/?page=homepage&user=yourname&style=57chevy"></script>
+```
+
+- Replace `homepage` with any identifier for the page you're tracking.
+- Replace `yourname` with your username or something unique to your site.
+- Replace `57chevy` with a different style if you'd like.
+
+Here’s an example:
+
+```html
+<p>Visitor count:
+<script src="https://counter.tilde.club/?page=homepage&user=alice&style=web1"></script>
+</p>
+```
+
+Once you’ve added the line, save and close the file using `CTRL+X`, then press `y` and `[Enter]`.
+
+Refresh your site in your browser to see the counter.
+
+### Available Styles
+
+You can use any of these style names in the `style=` parameter:
+
+- `57chevy`
+- `7seg`
+- `bbldotg`
+- `bellbtm`
+- `blgrv`
+- `cntdwn`
+- `computer`
+- `ds9`
+- `fdb`
+- `led`
+- `links`
+- `marsil`
+- `sbgs`
+- `web1`
+
+Try different styles to see which one fits your site best.
+
+Note: The counter uses sessions and cookies to count *unique* visits per user every 24 hours (or whatever time is configured). Page refreshes won’t increase the count unless unique mode is off.
+
+If you need help or want a custom style added, reach out to the site admin.

-title: terminal multiplexers - tmux
-category: software
---
-
-TMUX IS THE BEST. Here's a super basic primer.
-
-to start a new session, type `tmux new -s tildemux`.
-
-A yellow bar will appear at the bottom of your terminal. You're now in TMUX!
-
-TMUX has sessions, windows, and panes. Each of these things will have a terminal in it. If you actually typed what I told you to earlier, you'll be in a session named `tildemux`. That session has one window, `0`. That window has one pane, also named `0`. (Computers start counting at 0, not 1.)
-
-## windows
-
-Your tmux bar should look like: 
-
-`[tildemux] 0:bash*`
-
-…which means that you're in a session named `tildemux`, which has a window `0`, running the command `bash`. `*` means that window 0 is active, and the pane running bash is currently active.
-
-To create a new window within this session, type `PREFIX c`. PREFIX?!? By default, it's `control-b`. Now you should see:
-
-`[tildemux] 0:bash- 1:bash*`
-
-`1:bash*` means you're in a pane running `bash` inside window 1. To change back to pane 0, type `PREFIX 0`. The `*` should be back on `0:bash`.
-
-Run a cool interactive command, such as `htop` (to see how many of system resources we're eating up) or `vim` (to write some awesome webpages). Your tmux status bar should update to `0:<name of the current process>`. So now instead of saying `bash` it will say `htop` or `vim`.
-
-## panes
-
-Panes are great. TMUX panes let you run more than one terminal inside your one, actual terminal. To "split" a new pane, `PREFIX "`. That makes a horizontal split. You'll notice there are now two panes open one on top of the other. `PREFIX %` makes a vertical split, for side-by-side panes. Did I mention that panes are great?
-
-To move between panes in the current window, use `PREFIX <up,down,left,right>`. That's right, the arrow keys.
-
-## more
-
-I not the best writer or teacher. Just google anything that doesn't make sense. 
-
-[Or take a look at this tmux guide](http://robots.thoughtbot.com/a-tmux-crash-course)
-
-But definitely use tmux.
-
-Or, if you don't like it - try [screen](screen.html)

+title: The Vi Editor
+category: software
+author:
+  - ant
+---
+
+*Tilde.Club* has
+[The Traditional Vi](https://ex-vi.sourceforge.net/)
+installed on its premises.
+It is not just another
+[Vi clone](https://texteditors.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ViFamily),
+but the direct continuation
+of Bill Joy's legendary work at Berkeley.
+The binaries are in `/usr/archaic/bin/`
+and the man pages
+(separately for `ex` and `vi`)
+in `/usr/archaic/share/man/man/`.
+
+You can invoke *The Traditional Vi* in several ways
+(in the order of increased engagement):
+
+1. by the full path to the executable:
+
+       /usr/archaic/bin/vi
+
+2. by adding it as an alias to your shell's `rc` file
+   (`~/.bashrc` for *Bash*), e.g:
+
+       alias tvi=/usr/archaic/bin/vi
+
+   and then invokng *Vi* by typing `tvi`,
+
+3. by adding the locations *Vi* and its documentation
+   in front of the `PATH` and `MANPATH` environment variables
+   in your shell's profile script
+   (for *Bash*, `~/.bash_profile` or `~/.profile`):
+
+       export    PATH="/usr/archaic/bin/:$PATH"
+       export MANPATH="/usr/archaic/share/man/man:$MANPATH"
+
+The latter method has the advantage
+of affecting subshells,
+so that if you specify `vi` as the default editor
+in your e-mail or news client, or another CLI program,
+it will invoke *The Traditional Vi*,
+ditto for your shell scripts
+and the `EDITOR` environment variale.
+
+## Resources
+
+1. Bill Joy's
+   [An Introduction to Display Editing with Vi ](https://ex-vi.sourceforge.net/viin/paper.html),
+2. [`vi(1)`](https://ex-vi.sourceforge.net/vi.html) man page,
+3. [`ex(1)`](https://ex-vi.sourceforge.net/ex.html) man page,
+4. [A concise `vi` reference](http://www.ungerhu.com/jxh/vi.html),
+5. [The Ultimate guide to the VI and EX text editors](https://archive.org/details/ultimateguidetov0000unse_i5e4) (a paper book),
+6. The `#vi` channel on the
+   [Libera.Chat](https://libera.chat/)
+   IRC network,
+   dedicated to the original *Vi*
+   and all its variants except *Vim* & co,
+7. [VI experience in the shell](https://deut-erium.github.io/2024/01/28/inputrc.html).
+
+## Building
+
+*The Traditional Vi* is surprisingly easy to build from
+[its source](https://sourceforge.net/p/ex-vi/code/).
+You only need to locate the following line in `Makefile`:
+
+    TERMLIB = termlib
+
+and replace the value with `curses` or `ncurses`,
+depending on your preferred terminal library.
+Now you can build and install the project with:
+
+    make && make install

+## Notes for the nerds
+
+Following is technical information about Tilde.club website code repository
+(which contains Tilde.club wiki),
+for any of you who won't settle for an easy way out,
+but would rather embark on a do-it-yourself journey
+of technological liberation...
+
+* The code of Tilde.club website (which includes the wiki)
+  is maintained using [Git version control system](https://git-scm.com/).
+* The master Git repository is available inside Tilde.club at <q>`/usr/share/nginx/html`</q> directory,
+  with read-only access to Tilde.club members.
+  In case you prefer to work on your edits directly inside Tilde.club,
+  run a command like this to clone the repository:
+  
+      git clone /usr/share/nginx/html tildeclub-site
+  
+  If you prefer to clone to your local machine via SSH instead,
+  use **one** of the following commands:
+  
+      git clone ssh://USERNAME@tilde.club/usr/share/nginx/html tildeclub-site
+      git clone USERNAME@tilde.club:/usr/share/nginx/html tildeclub-site
+  
+  * Don't forget to substitute <var>USERNAME</var> with your Tilde.club username
+    (else SSH would fail logging you in for the access).
+  * The first command works even with a very old Git version.
+  
+  Note that you cannot issue <q>`git push`</q> from a repository cloned these ways
+  (but <q>`git pull`</q> will work like usual),
+  so it would be suitable mainly for email-based patch submission,
+  or your private experiment/exploration.
+* This Git repository is also officially available online at two places:
+  
+  * [GitHub](https://github.com/tildeclub/site/)
+    (requires JavaScript and latest browser to view)
+  * [Tildegit](https://tildegit.org/club/site/)
+    (read-only mirror,
+    replicates from GitHub;
+    do not need JavaScript to view)
+  
+  The <q>`git clone`</q> command also work directly with these URLs;
+  although note that pull requests are accepted only on GitHub.
+  If you prefer not to use GitHub,
+  email-based patch submission is also accepted.
+* Traditional email-based patch submission
+  is accepted on email address `root` at `tilde.club`.
+  If your patches require a use of <q>`--scissors`</q> option on <q>`git am`</q> command,
+  please explicitly mention that on each patch email.
+* The in-repository subdirectory that contains the actual wiki text
+  is <q>`wiki/source/`</q>.
+* Wiki articles are stored in that directory as individual files:
+  one file per article,
+  in [Pandoc Markdown format](https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#pandocs-markdown)
+  with [YAML metadata](https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-yaml_metadata_block) frontmatter at the top,
+  bearing file extension <q>`.md`</q>.
+* The actual mechanism used
+  for rendering each Markdown files into actual HTML pages
+  on Tilde.club's website
+  (and text files on Tilde.club's Gopher site)
+  is specified in <q>`wiki/Makefile`</q> in the repository.
+  * The Gophermap of the wiki
+    is generated dynamically on Gopher request however;
+    see <q>`wiki/gophermap`</q> and <q>`wiki/txtlist.sh`</q> in the repository
+    for this part.
+* The copyright license of this repository is
+  [GNU General Public License](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html),
+  _any version_
+  published by the [Free Software Foundation](https://www.fsf.org/);
+  as stated in <q>`LICENSE`</q> file on the repository,
+  while the _any version_ part comes from the fallback condition
+  specified in the section 14 of that license.
+  If you submit your work to be a part of this wiki,
+  this is the copyright license that your work would get published under.
+

+  of licensing** on this repository
+  (or any other repository hosted there for that matter),
