Hi tilde.club,
I’m new to tilde.club, part of the new wave of users recently. Hi everyone! I am writing partly to introduce myself and partly to see if anyone is interested in a little command line wiki project I’m toying with.
The idea is that you create html files somewhere _outside_ of your public_html directory and make them readable by others in the club group. Then contact someone else who has also done this and ask them to link to one of your files. You can then use lynx or any other command line browser to browse the wiki. It’s that simple.
For example, see my page with this command:
lynx ~cmccabe/scatterWiki/index.html
If a number of people add content and link to each other, this will eventually create a decentralized, private-to-tilde.club wiki viewable only by users that are cozily logged into a shell session. How it evolves structurally is anybody’s guess.
I’m calling this scatterWiki since the wiki’s content will be scattered across users’ home directories.
By convention, I suggest creating your html files in a “scatterWiki” directory.
If you use this convention, your wiki files would be stored in:
/home/yourusername/scatterWiki/yourfile.html
Why do this? Honestly there is no good reason and it is a complete waste of time. However, you still might consider it because:
1. You can have a little html fun that is not indexed by the Googlemonster.
2. This encourages one-to-one interaction among tilde.club members when requesting or giving links, and hopefully those interactions will grow.
3. You can learn more about how lynx or other text-based browsers work.
4. More time on the command line is more good.
So that’s the idea. Nothing more.
If you create a page, let me know and I’ll link to you!

Hi all! :-)
Before I ever post anything serious into this mailing list, just a short question : Is this mailinglist publicly archived anywhere?
The background of my question is that I want to avoid any webcrawlers crawling my mailadress - although my tilde.club mailadress is not in use elsewhere than here. :-)
You see - the more I post into a publicly archived mailing list, the better chance to be crawled sooner or later ... spam is not what I want. :-)

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
