Hey everyone,
Over the last two weeks I've been developing a homegrown
twtxt registry server for tilde.institute. I'm happy to
announce that it's now running publicly:
https://twtxt.tilde.institute
Instructions are available on the main page of the registry,
including how to add your own data to the registry using curl.
If you're not familiar with twtxt, it's a decentralized
microblogging platform "for hackers". You can install the client
via pip (pip install twtxt), and then after setting it up, issue:
$ twtxt follow institute https://twtxt.tilde.institute/api/plain/tweets
To add the registry data to your personal 'timeline'. Don't forget
to add your own info to the registry to help it grow! Your statuses
will be periodically scraped and viewable from the registry server.
This allows many users' statuses to be available from a single
location.

Hi folks !
I was thinking about writing some documentation about email (and maybe
more) encryption using GnuPG. The target would be not-so-techy tilde
users. And the objective would be that anybody can use public key
encryption if they want to with minimal hassle.
I would like to know what people use for handling email, as I've been
using mutt for so long I don't really know what other folks do.
Please answer to this post (I'll publish it also on bbj and maybe
tilde.news) with your combo of OS/email agent or simply with a "not
interested".
That way I'll have an idea of what config examples to include on the
docs or that perhaps there's no interest at all in this and I can use my
time on other stuff ...
That's it, please take a couple of minutes to answer this ;-)
Have a nice day !

Hello everyone!
I know some of you like looking at pretty
graphs and numbers, like I do, so I've
installed /usr/local/bin/gotop
It's a top derivative that is even prettier
than the venerable standby htop.

Hey everyone,
I ended up moving the IRC daemon to its own server.
Hopefully that's the end of the issues with inspircd-3.0.0.
I apologize for the tumultuous IRC connection these
last couple of days.
If you've specified the connection by hostname, eg
institute.tilde.chat, then it should still work
as soon as I can get the A-record updated.
Everything should be A-OK by the end of the night.
Let me know if you're still having issues after
about 12 to 24 hours have passed.
Thanks,
~ahriman
Hey everyone,
I've upgraded GCC/G++ from 4.2.1-20070719 to
8.3.0. If, for some reason, you still need
gcc/g++ 4.2.1, they will be available as:
/usr/bin/gcc4
/usr/bin/g++4
While 'gcc' and 'g++' have been linked to
the version 8 binaries.
Enjoy!

Hey everyone,
I'm having some issues with the irc daemon after
the tildeverse network moved to inspircd v3.0.0.
I'm currently working on it, so it should be
resolved soon.
Thanks for your patience
