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!

Best wishes,

Hello all,
Google auth wasn’t the highest on the poll that I ran. However I do feel 33% in favour of google auth or options like it is enough for me to implement the feature.
To use google auth you also need to enter your password for your account on login.
Information on getting google auth setup you can go on our wiki.
https://tilde.club/wiki/googleauth.html
If you’d like to see more options reply to this email with suggestions and I may look at implementing them.
Thank you to everyone that participated in our poll.

Just looked. From what I read the phishing attack would really only work for accounts that someone would have to goto a web page for login (which could be faked) and get the details. But for ssh login there is not the same risk.
Thanks

I understand that. But I what way is someone phishing a code that is available for 30 seconds? That would still allow it to be useable
