Ira Glass once said “Life is short, and anything that gives pleasure is good.”
What’s some media you’ve been enjoying lately? Don’t worry if it’s mainstream or lowbrow or a guilty pleasure. Anything’s fine. What are you enjoying?

We got a taste of that lovely fall air the other week, but since then
it's been back to mostly summer weather during the days, 80s and
sometimes 90s unfortunately. The nights have gotten a lot cooler though,
which is nice because that's when I enjoy being out skateboarding and
hanging out with friends or just wandering and finding somewhere to sit
and read or lay down and listen to music. I can't wait until the air
starts to get that nice autumn bite to it though.
hello tilde people!
several months ago, we created a git repo for a tildeverse zine, which
sat unloved for far too long. ~ubergeek submitted a handful of articles
which also sat there without any distribution method.
this week i found a burst of inspiration when building the wiki for
~club when using pandoc and a fancy Makefile, which i've written about
for issue 2 of the zine.
this is a formal call for zine submissions! the source format is
markdown which gets built into pdf, epub, and html when published.
we're looking for anything cool, including:
- poetry
- cool code projects
- artwork
- anything else that might be interesting
submissions can be submitted to the zine repo on tildegit via pull
request or a mailed patch with git-send-email(1) to me:
https://tildegit.org/tildeverse/zine or mail your submissions to me (as
markdown).
the zine will be published to https://zine.tildeverse.org/ and will be
discussed in the #zine channel on irc.
looking forward to your submissions!!
cheers,
~benharri
Hullo swintons,
The resuscitation of tilde.club made it acutely aware to me that the Other
Tildes List ( https://tilde.club/~pfhawkins/othertildes.html ) was sorely
in need of upkeep. I'd been updating it every six-ish months or so as new
tildes opened up, but had gotten lax at pruning down dead ones.
I set off on my quest to clean it up, and lo! I found a whole tranche of
tildes that had never made it to my inbox. These have been added, and dead
ones moved to the Defunct Tildes List (
https://tilde.club/~pfhawkins/defuncttildes.html ).
But where, you ask, was this tranche of undiscovered tildes, waiting to be
added?
https://tildeverse.org/members/
The very organization that has adopted tilde club has members that had
foolishly not sent me an email notifying me of their existence. No matter;
they seem to be thriving without my little list.
~benharri then mentioned on IRC his own other tildes list:
https://tilde.wiki/other-tildes
So I had yet another tranche to pilfer from.
I'm absolutely blown away by the unique approaches to tilde-ing these other
servers are taking. How awesome is it to live in the timeline where
tilde.black and cosmic.voyage exist?
If you come across (or start!) a fantastic new tilde, do not hide it a
random tranche. Share early! Share often! And share with me!
From the tranches,
~pfhawkins
Once I had a cat named “Maybe” because we kept saying things like “Maybe we could name him Rex, or maybe we could name him Bruce” and finally just stuck with Maybe.
Have you heard any interesting pet names?
Hey all, I'm ~thewithz. Trying to confirm my address has resulted in an email reply explaining that the confirmation code did not match. As far as I understand it, I just need to reply to the email with the same subject right? Mutt is a little tricky, because they insert a "RE:" by default, but removing that has not lead to any further success. Any advice? Do I even need to confirm the address?
