@squirrel hm... the more I think about this the less it sounds like a viable idea for "resources left over on a server what actually does stuff"
the BBS thing could well work though
@squirrel tilde.town uses ssh keypairs so there's not as much of a risk there
user accounts would definitely have to be locked down pretty tight though
@squirrel it is one of those communities that looks like that from the outside
I was thinking it's pretty easy to set up something similar if you didn't mind people bumbling around on a little section of the server though
@squirrel tilde.town is basically a linux server that has open-ish sign-ups for accounts
you can ssh in and then do linux stuff, and there's an irc and a forum and you can use wall to bug everyone
also provides a little bit of web and gopher hosting
@squirrel or the extra patreon funds can go on maple snacks
that would also be a good use for it
@squirrel idea: if you've got some spare resources on an upgraded server then computerfairi.es BBS?
Or one of those shared linux environments like tilde.town?
@Jo if you've got a camping store near you go in there for one of those really loud "survival whistle" things, I'm sure you could fit it to the spout
