[GTALUG] tilde.club reopens signups (vaguely off-topic)

[Stewart C. Russell]

Hey —

Aligned with the small scale, homebrew hosting that I know that some of 
you were/are involved in, I see that tilde.club <https://tilde.club/> 
has reopened its member lists: https://tilde.club/signup/

tilde.club is small web hosting with ssh access. You only get a 
(comparatively) tiny amount of space. It's named from earlyweb days, 
when user pages were at hostname/~user. They've been stalled for new 
members for 4 years as the organizer couldn't quite give it the 
attention it needed. Announcement from the bird site:

    A tildeverse-builder named Mike Buchholz (info at retrodigital.net)
    offered to take over http://tilde.club <http://tilde.club> AND the
    backlog of 10,000+ people who asked for accounts. I said, that would
    be a blessing! If you had an account, it still works. If you asked,
    they'll be in touch.

I always meant to set up a tilde node (I think I still have the domain 
and hosting, even) but tildeverse admin requires a certain attachment to 
IRC and that's someone else's trash fire.


cheers,
