Hello,
About 2 months ago, I had setup a user-level systemd service in
~gg/.config/systemd/user/archive-watch.service and it had worked fine
until yesterday when it suddenly stopped. When I noticed something
was wrong, I logged in to try to restart the service, I received this
error:
systemctl --user restart archive-watch.service
Failed to connect to user scope bus via local transport: Connection refused
The time that things stopped working was some time before:
https://time.is/compare/0200PM_26_Feb_2026_in_Tokyo
3 hours prior to this, things were still fine.
Another strange thing I noticed was that the byobu/tmux session that
was automatically created for me when I first logged in to tilde.club
was gone. This is not a big deal, but it was surprising. I thought
that maybe the system was rebooted recently, but that was not the case.
Anyway, any help getting user-level systemd services working again
would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Hello club!
Over the last year I've been putting a lot of thought into the things
I'm paying for in my life, and where my money goes. I've been making
an effort to cancel subscriptions for things that aren't truly
benefiting me, and put that money instead towards communities, causes,
projects, and people that I care about and want to thoughtfully
support.
Towards that end, I decided to give a few dollars each month towards
tilde.club. I am grateful to have discovered the community here.
It's just a drop in the bucket of the expenses that deepend (and other
admins?) face to keep the lights on. So I just wanted to throw this
note out in case anyone else has been thinking about some of the same
issues I have, and just needed a little push to say "this is worth a
few bucks a month to me". :)
I totally understand that not everyone can do that, and I intend no
judgment on anyone! I also see the list of supporters who have made
donations already. Y'all are awesome. I just don't want to take this
place for granted.
To deepend and everyone else who has put in money or labor to support
this community, thank you! This place rocks. I hope it will be around
for a long time to come.
lafe
p.s. no one put me up to this, it was entirely motivated from my own
thoughts ;)
Sincere thanks to users blu256 and sxb for their bones files, which helped my gnomish Archaeologist ascend on the tilde.club server.
A lot of NetHack online play is focused on the public servers at nethack.alt.org and Hardfought, and indeed those are fabulous services, but NetHack is also a great match for pubnices. The bones feature suggests it was very much designed to be played on a shared UNIX system.
It would be nice to get a few more ascensions on the tilde.club high score table, so I invite everyone to have a go!
If you have no idea what I’m on about, you could start here: https://nethackwiki.com or just fire up the game by running the `nethack` command and dive in spoiler-free (but be warned, it’s brutally unfair).
