Definitely didn’t intend that as an advertisement. It was just follow-up from a much-earlier conversation about floppy disk labels, sharing the result since so many people offered me ideas. I can see how it could have come across as such but it wasn’t my intention. Sorry about that.

You're the perfect group of people to turn to for help with this.
I'm working on a video where a significant prop is an old box of 3.5" HDD
disks. I managed to get an old unopened box of pristine disks and labels.
Now I need to write on the labels and make them look like someone has
actually been using these disks, circa 1990-2000 or so.
All the labels should feel real, but they can't use trademarks. So they
can't say "AOL installer" for example.
I've got up to 50 of these, and I'm open to ideas. The gist of what I've
got so far is:
Term Papers
Personal Letters
Mouse Driver 1.1
Fax/Modem Software
Soundcard Driver
NEW Soundcard Driver
Mom's Spaghetti
Pixel Racer Man
Shoehorn DB
PCI Bus Ethernet Drvr
CD-ROM Device Driver
Installers
Very Important Data
BBS SysOp
1337 Warez
You get the idea. Send me your suggestions!

Hey ~clubbers!
Just a quick note of a change on tilde.club.
We have added "/usr/bin/nice -n 19" to all user crons to try and help the system cope with the amount of user crons that are being run on a regular basis.
Please leave this in your crons. And users adding crons please also use this command ahead of your commands in cron.
Thanks everyone :)
Hello ~club!
This is just a notice that I will be updating tilde.club to fedora 32 on
Sunday. No specific time as my life isn't that organized. However
it'll probably be later in the day so maybe between 7pm and 11pm
mountain time. I will be creating a snapshot of the system just in case
the update goes badly so I can restore back to the previous state.
If you cannot access tilde.club due to massive failure I have a status
update page setup at https://status.tilde.club

Crickets, of course, referring to the sound this mailing list has been
making lately.
Are you folks still out there? Still want to make awesome webpages and
shit on the internet? Who wants to <verb> an <object> with me? Yay!
Alright sorry I'll let you go back to your cryosleep chamber.

The wiki has been updated with...information on how to contribute to
the wiki!
https://tilde.club/wiki/wiki.html
Wiki about wiki. Very meta.
The basic gist (no pun intended) is that you have to get your Markdown
file into Github somehow, but also I'm willing to Markdown your article
and post it for you if you like.
Would love to see some new articles. And if you want to hack on the wiki
"software" itself, I'd be happy to chat in IRC about it. I've got some
experience now.

Dear all,
Hello, world! I'm the new guy on tilde.club. Thank you very much for a great platform and all the hard work and time you invest into it! I have been reading the Wiki pages and I would like to suggest a few improvements:
* It may be a good idea to start grouping articles under the topics: command line, terminal multiplexers, security, text editors...
* The link to the SSHFS tutorial doesn't work. It seems the file has been deleted.
* The SSH tutorial from Ben Harri could benefit from a better colour for showing terminal commands. Currently it is dark blue. On a black background it is very hard to read.
Thank you for your attention and have a wonderful day ahead!
