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.

In some places they eat like underwater crickets! Like water insects! It's disgusting! Do you know what people put in that water, and what animals do in it all the time? So unsanitary.
I just signed up, found this awesome thing a few days ago.
I'd love to verb with you. What are you verbing on right now?

Welcome!
I think right now there's a bit of a tiny push to tidy up the MOTD (message of the day, which gets displayed when you log in or when you type `$ motd`).
One of the ideas is to maybe make a command line version of the wiki, so you can do `$wiki ssh` and get the ssh (https://tilde.club/wiki/ssh.html) article in plain text format.
How does this apply to the MOTD? It could then tell you:
In the following lines, all of the bold text can be used as keywords to the `wiki` command, aka `wiki alpine`:
And then it could say
- *email*works, use mail, alpine, or mutt or webmail: https://webmail.tilde.club
Which would really be more useful for the "entries" in the list that are several lines long.

I think this will be a great solution. And can most likely clean up most of the MOTD.
Thanks for your efforts :)

Cool stuff. And probably very helpful.
I just found tilde.club a few days ago and and love the idea (even if I'm not sure about the main goal or whatever - it feels like it's a bit more than the first paragraph on the homepage says) and just joined the mailing list. I already have my own servers and infrastructure to make perfect and then break in the eternal spiral that is having fun with computers.
I believe I share that interest with a couple of people on this mailing list.
Myself I managed to set up my own mailman server yesterday (was a bit hard as I'm using OpenSMTPd and not Postfix or Exim), and it's kind of working now. I had an idea of maybe trying to have a mailing list as a way to add comments to news I post on my homepage.
... then I think I want to add a guestbook or a shoutbox somehow.
What's next after the motd thing?
-- Björn (they)
Mail on random shared servers is generally hard because it usually gets classified as spam by the receiver. I also have a set of servers that I do my own random projects on, so you are not alone in that regard.
I have made the "wiki" command, as a bash script, but I need people to try it out. Currently it's living at /home/audiodude/bin/wiki
I've also written an update to the motd but I don't want to submit that until the wiki command is working, because it relies heavily on it.
I'm not sure I have a tilde club project set up after that, except for maybe fleshing out the wiki articles that I hastily stubbed in order to put them in the motd.
Cheers, -Travis

Yeah, this email you sent got flagged as spam for me for instance. DKIM failures. But I think that's because I broke my DNS servers because who runs checkzone before restarting bind?

Alright. Maybe I'll sign up just to see what the inside of tilde.club looks like... heh.
I've also written an update to the motd but I don't want to submit that until the wiki command is working, because it relies heavily on it.
How are you submitting it when you feel ready? Does it go into git somewhere maybe?

Btw, the news server sounded like fun! I need to check that out!
