Hi everyone,
I'll mention this on IRC as well. I pruned some older SSH host keys from
~inst, so some of you may get an error when connecting that the
fingerprint doesn't match what's expected.
You may double-check the new fingerprint by checking the SSHFP record. I
also put it on the web site below the language/shells list.

Hey everyone,
gcc-8.3.0 is finished building. The binary names are prepended with an
'e' to differentiate them from the binary names for gcc-4.2.1 which is
in base.

Enjoy!

Hi everyone,
We're back up. Upgraded to 6.6 and fully patched. Most things should be
working, but let me know if you find anything that's broken.

Hi everyone,
I'm going to take the server down tonight at midnight UTC, 20:00 EDT.
It will take about an hour to image the disk in its entirety. After that
has completed, I'll upgrade the server to OpenBSD 6.6, which will only
take a few minutes. However, upon finishing the upgrade, I'll need to
spend some time upgrading the packages, recompiling some other software,
etc. I'll keep sshd down until I feel like the server is mostly usable
for everyone.
Once it comes back up and you can log back in, please mail
admins(a)tilde.institute if you find anything that's broken or otherwise
not working as expected.
I'll send a reminder email out in two hours, one hour prior to the
shutdown.
If you want to be notified as soon as you can log back in, connect to
irc.tilde.chat elsewhere and hop in #institute, where I'll announce it.
Otherwise, you can give it a shot around 02:00 UTC / 22:00 EDT maybe. No
guarantees on that.
Thanks everyone,

Hi everyone,
A while back it was brought to my attention that Gitbucket, the software
I was using for git repo hosting here, has a hard limit on password
length at 20 characters for users. I didn't notice because I bypassed
the public account registration. I've disabled new account creation
(looks like only a couple of accounts were created, and it was only
really used for the main site's repo anyways). I'll be looking at other
options for local git repo hosting in the meantime.
Granted, there's nothing stopping you from initializing a bare repo in
your home directory and pushing via SSH. :p

Hi everyone,
I updated the tilde.institute IRC node to inspircd 3.5.0 and restarted
it. Apologies for everyone who was kicked off when it went down.
