a digital community for socializing, learning, and making cool stuff
tilde.team is a shared system that provides an inclusive, non-commercial space for teaching, learning, practicing and enjoying the social medium of unix.
i created this tilde after hearing about paul ford's tilde.club. when i was unable to join due to the waitlist, i decided to create my own tilde.
thanks for stopping by!
tilde.team is a founding member of tildeverse.org, which is a collaborative effort among several other tilde servers.
hosting and domains are paid out-of-pocket. tilde.team will always be free to use. however, if you are able and willing to pitch in, you can donate here.
it appears that there hasn't been a news post here in over a year...
perfect time to have a major outage!
we ran into a nasty breaking change in the systemd included in proxmox 7. we lost networking on the proxmox host tilde.team lives on for a while while i scrambled to get stuff back up and running.
see my blog post for the full story.
i've been preparing a large upgrade for tilde.team to ubuntu 20.04 focal fossa.
the new vm has a fresh install and will help to address some of the long-standing issues that i've been wanting to fix for quite some time now
dedicated /home disk - we haven't had any actual issues here luckily but it will prevent any issues where a user accidentally fills a disk and chokes out the rest of the system
fixing uids - at some point, the spamassassin package created a system user account with a uid > 1000 which threw off the user numbering into the 5000 range. i've renumbered user accounts on the new vm to remove that large jump
dedicated service accounts - each service now has its own account in /srv
which is importantly outside of /home and is not a single user running multiple
services as it was configured previously
the ip address is the same and everything should be as you left it. please let me know on irc or shoot an email if something is amiss.
i have an ongoing list that i will update as i get things back up and running.
another important note: python is now 3.8 by default and you will need to explicitly call python2. all local site- and dist-packages have been removed since they were targeting 3.6. you will need to recreate any virtual envs that you may have.
cheers, ~ben
