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?
Hi folks. I'm ~dvd, if you hadn't already seen my embarrassing late night
"subscribe" attempt.
I have the good fortune of working for the Internet Archive, which means I
am a person who has the ability to aggressively crawl the tilde club and
related websites, with these new fangled "updates in the last 24h" CGI
scripts.
But I believe that the best archiving is done with full consent. This email
list has been a welcome respite to the chore of catching up on my tweets.
The archive I work for was formed in the very early days. Most of us here
are aware of the current failures of that wild west period's philosophy,
but also welcome some kind of revisit. I think of the email lists in
particular as far more sacrosanct, in privacy terms. So:
I've, uhh, never gone wrong "just asking questions" _before_ doing
something. Does anybody even want that kind of potential pressure? I was
thrilled like a sailor when I learned the Library of Congress was archiving
Twitter. (I was only slightly disappointed that they stopped archiving it
in the jack-please-ban-the-nazis era.)

Hi tilde gang,
First off, reading through the the things I posted to my tilde page
*five years ago* is really something. I'm excited by the prompt to go
diving into this space again with all of you.
Second, I think something's afoot with the list. I received a bolus of
email from tildeclub list around mid-morning today, and haven't received
anything since, including from `help` requests to the tildeclub-requests
address. I can see lots of new posts via the web interface. Anyone else
experiencing this? I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it. I do appear to
be getting other email.
thanks, all,
Alan
hey ~clubbers,
I've just set up a tool called `tilde` that can be used to submit, find,
and run user-submitted scripts. I originally created it for tilde.team
at some point last year.
To get started, run `tilde` at your shell. To qualify for submission, a
script must be:
1) executable with a proper shebang
2) in your ~/bin dir (make it if it doesn't exist)
3) responds to a help or --help subcommand
4) have a unique name (not a system tool or subcommand)
Feel free to ask here or on irc if you have any questions about
submitting or using other users' scripts!
Happy scripting/programming!
~benharri
