hey all,
haven't sent an update to the list in a while.
we've had a smattering of new users in the last month or so and i wanted
to give a warm welcome to all the newcomers :)
there isn't too much new to report, but i haven't seen much on the
mailing list and figured it needs some love.
feel free to holler here or on irc if you have any questions, requests,
or cool projects you'd like to share!

Like the subject says: what services would you like
to see available in the tildeverse?
Just an opinion poll, gauge the needs of the users.
Ya dig?

hey ~teammates,
there's now a nextcloud instance set up at https://cloud.tilde.team/ !
you can log in with your shell password. it authenticates using imap.
there's a 250mb file quota. holler if you have any questions!
hey ~teammates,
i've set up a system znc instance that anyone is welcome to use. it's
configured to authenticate with your shell password. it was sent to you
in the welcome mail, but can be recovered by an admin if necessary.
check out https://znc.tilde.team/ and log in to configure your settings
as needed. to connect to our irc, add a network as localhost.
if you don't want to use the web interface, you can connect your irc
client to znc.tilde.team on port 6699 with ssl. see /znc help for more
info.
holler here on the mailing list or directly on irc if you need help or
have other questions. the znc wiki also has lots of good information:

hey ~teammates,
I finally got around to registering us as an official group on freenode.
we can get tilde.team/user/username cloaks now if you'd like.
#tilde.team is the channel there on freenode (mainly used as a backup in
cases of emergency).
let me know if you want a cloak!
~team,
A brief administrative note: as a prophylactic security measure, we've
run chmod -R go-w on everything under the /home directory. If you
intentionally had files or directories that extended write privileges
to Group or Other, you will need to re-set those now.

I'm pretty sure it won't, they don't need to be writable by other users.
However, if your script uses a database, for example, you'll likely need
to make it writable (chmod go+w database.db).
teamsters,
I created a new version of the classic Unix prank called Steam Locomotive
(or sl) which would run an animated steam engine across your screen if you
mistyped 'ls'. My new version is called Space Launch (still 'sl') and it
launches a rocket across your screen. The big difference from Steam
Locomotive is that everyone on the system can add to the rocket design by
creating a .vroom file in the top level of home directory.
Try Space Launch by transmigulating 'ls' into 'sl' on the command line.

And use 'sl -h' for info on how to create your own .vroom file.
> sl -h
If you have any feedback on the code or functionality, I'm happy to hear
it.

hey ~teammates,
if you were unaware, i've switched from spamassassin to rspamd for our
spam filtering needs.
it's more efficient and is able to filter that was sent to list
addresses (i've been getting plenty of bounced list messages from
non-members lately).
i also updated the default dovecot sieve rule to file any messages
flagged as spam by rspamd into your junk folder.
please let me know if something isn't working or if you're still
receiving any spam.
