Hey everyone,
If you're using weechat, please issue the following command:
/script remove apply_corrections.py
It's buggy and contains a DoS vulnerability for your weechat
session. This was figured out by accident. Someone should be
opening an issue on weechat's github shortly.
weechat is fine to use otherwise. This is just a third-party
script that was autoloaded in the /etc/skel/.weechat configs.

Hey everyone,
I've installed a new gopher client, developed here in the
tildeverse, called bombadillo. It features vim-like key
bindings.

Hey, ~institute!
In a poor attempt to get some chatter going on this list, what are we all working on this week? Me? I don't have any big plans yet, but I think I'll be spending the day fixing a weird printer issue at work. What about you guys?
So I've tried to use the chat command to join'ya all at IRC but nothing
happens when i type chat and press enter. What's the adress for the irc
server so that I can use weechat instead?
Best Regards, Sarmonsiill
Hi everyone,
Logged in for the first time today. Poking around and like what I see so
far. Cursious to explore the community side of it.
Anyhow, just wanted to drop a line on the list and say hello and wish
everyone the best.
Best Regards, Sarmonsiill
Hi everyone,
It looks like the switch has gone over without a hitch.
Let myself or Kneezle know if you find something that's
broken.
In the meantime, enjoy the new server!

Hey everyone!
I'm scheduling the DNS switch for the new server
to happen early Sunday morning, late Saturday night
at 2:00 AM UTC. This is 10:00PM Saturday for myself,
on the east coast of the US.
Another rsync of user data will happen an hour before,
to be sure there's as little data loss as possible.
As it's just an update of existing records, there
should be very little time before everything is
resolving to the new server. Maybe a couple of
minutes.
I'll do one more rsync just after the DNS switch.

Hey everyone!
Weechat has been updated to version 2.5, to take
advantage of various bug and security fixes, after
it was brought to my attention in IRC.
If you have a running Weechat (in tmux or something),
then you can run
/upgrade
to update the running binary in-place.
Enjoy!

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.
