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.

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).

Hello all,
I’m not sure if this is the right place to say so, but I’ve noticed email to this mailing list being persistently classified as spam when it arrives at my Gmail account, despite me telling Gmail it looks safe. I’ve had to set up a filter to whitelist the tilde.club domain. Of course, if this is a problem for you too, you probably won’t see this message. Seasons greetings and a pre-emptive Happy New Year to you anyway!

Hello,
New user here and first time poster.
Some time within the last day, CGI scripts stopped working on tilde.club.
I tried to look at the logs, but I don't have permission to look in
/var/log/nginx so it's hard for me to investigate further.
The CGI scripts still run fine from the command line. I'm testing with the
following script: env.cgi.
----
#!/bin/sh
echo "Status: 200"
echo "Content-Type: text/plain"
echo
env
----
It's accessible via the web here:
https://tilde.club/~gg/env.cgi
However, it currently returns a 502 bad gateway error.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Happy Holidays, Tilde Club!
Wishing everyone a warm, restful holiday season (or at least one with fewer surprises than a random package upgrade). Whether you’re traveling, staying put, coding something wonderfully unnecessary, or just lurking with a mug of something hot, I hope you get a little peace and a lot of cozy.
Thanks for being part of what makes this place special: the creativity, the kindness, the weird little projects, and the steady reminder that the internet can still be human.
Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, and happy holidays to everyone. See you on the other side of the calendar.

Hi all 😃 !
I'm Vincent, a guy from France. This is the first time I'm posting on
this mailing list. I'm not very used to those tools, so don't hesitate
to correct me if I'm doing it wrong. I also hope it's the good list for
this kind of subject.
I wanted to share with the Tildeverse community a software that I just
built for our France-based community server (it's called CLUB1, not
exactly a tilde server, but very close to it 😋). It's a basic
newsletter tool that allow each member to have it's own little newsletter.
⭐️ Highlights:
- addresses are stored in a plain text file
- subscription and un-subscription can be done only by email
- newsletter can be send by email or CLI
- interactive CLI to setup the newsletter
It's supposed to be a minimalist software that mostly recycle existing
MTA functions like `.forward` files and recipient delimiter (+ addresses).
I fought it may interest other servers that have a close spirit to
CLUB1. Feel free to contact me if you are curious ! I'll be happy to
share infos or discuss of ideas around this project.

Got it. My future posts will go to this address.

I've bookmarked the link and reviewed the guidelines. The points about
plain text and bottom-posting are very clear.
Looking forward to participating in the discussions!

After admiring a club web page such as, say,
<http://tilde.club/~barnold/>, you want to make a comment to say how
wonderful it is.
In your account on club, you create a text file comment.txt saying "Love
your page!". Then at a shell prompt you run
$ ~barnold/bin/make-comment comment.txt
which adds the contents of your comment.txt to a comment page, say
<http://tilde.club/~barnold/comments.html>. Since you were logged in at
club, your comment is automatically attributed to you.
Does such a thing already exist? If not, is there any show-stopper that
makes it infeasible?
Thanks,
