Hello everyone,
We now have a console bulletin board available!
To access it, simply run 'bbj'. You may post
anonymously or choose to register a username.
The software was written by desvox over at
tilde.town, so props to desvox for making a cool little
bulletin board.

Hello everyone,
I have installed bat into /usr/local/bin/bat
If you aren't familiar, it is a cat replacement that features
syntax highlighting, themes, and built-in paging. It is much
more pleasant and much easier on the eyes than reading a file
by using less /path/to/file.txt or cat /path/to/file.txt.
Enjoy

Hello everyone,
I've run into, and solved, a small issue related to using GnuPG
with mutt/neomutt. This has been fixed for future users, however,
if any current users would like to use GnuPG to sign their mail
via mutt or neomutt, they will need to add the following line
to their ~/.muttrc or ~/.neomuttrc for it to work:
source /usr/local/etc/muttgpg.rc
Otherwise you'll encounter miscellaneous errors related to
mutt being unable to communicate with GnuPG.

Hello everyone,
I just wanted to put out a welcome to all the new folks who
have joined us over the last 36 hours. Feel free to use the
mailing list for any purpose, it's not *only* for official
communication, and don't forget to join us in the tildeverse
IRC network via the "chat" command!
But most importantly: have fun, experiment, learn, and
if you'd like, share what you've learned or cool things to do
via the wiki on https://tilde.institute!

Hello everyone,
I've installed Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. If you've not
played it before, it's a well-designed roguelike game.
It's super fun, so give the Orb of Zot a run for its
money! The command is "crawl-ss" or "dcss".

Hello everyone!
I'm looking to add more technologically or historically significant

Hello everyone,
Tonight, Ben Harris from tilde.team and I got tilde.institute peered
with the larger tildeverse chat network. This will reduce latency when
chatting from tilde.institute and add a layer of redundancy to the
tildeverse's IRC network.
In order to utilize the new local IRC server, in weechat / chat,
issue the following command:
/set irc.server.tilde.addresses "localhost/6667"
For those of you who are not using the default chat client,
the following server information applies:
localhost, port 6667, ssl
Have fun, and chat away! Thanks for being a part of tilde.institute!

Hello Everyone!
Thanks for your patience during tilde.institute's early phase.
Mail issues have been resolved now. You will be able to send
and receive mail to and from anywhere without a problem.
As of right now, GMail may still siphon mail from here
to the spam folder if you're mailing an @gmail.com address.
I'm going to be working on that over the next few days.
Before you decide to unsubscribe from the mailing list, please
keep in mind I will be using the mailing list as the official means
of communication with everyone regarding critical issues and
announcements.
Of course, everyone is more than welcome to use the mailing list
to communicate with each other as well. After all, that's what
mailing lists are for, right? ^_^
Best regards,
~ahriman
Hello everyone!
Now that I've gotten mail working for tilde.institute, I'll be
subscribing all new users at their @tilde.institute email address.
The standard mailing list etiquette applies, but I'll briefly go
over it here:
Wrap lines at 70-80 columns, please.
No inline PGP signatures (attachments are okay)
No top-posting
Delete extraneous info from the reply and only reply in-line
For more info see this wiki page:
https://tilde.wiki/?page=mailing_lists
Have fun, folks!
