@Gargron it's almost as if discussing the feature before implementing it on the largest instance out of nowhere might have been a good idea

@squirrel now even more ways to enjoy your maple™

...that may have come out wrong

@squirrel both of those words actually work

and yeah, fair point

@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

HEY EVERYONE! LET'S GET #trendingHashtagsAreAPoorlyThoughtOutIdea TRENDING!

@Vann@glitch.social that is one very good cat

@Agiri@masto.ninja @squirrel UPTIME STATS IN SIGNATURES!

2000's internet was pretty damn good

@squirrel @Agiri@masto.ninja have so many that the admins were annoyed at you so you put them in a .gif so they'd rotate through the massive stack you've got!

@squirrel indiana maple, exploring ancient datacentres and running away from giant rolls of cat3 cable that were inexplicably balanced on top of a ramp

@squirrel good take

BRING BACK MACROMEDIA FLASH, NOT THE ADOBE ONE

@squirrel MAYBE NOT BRING BACK FLASH BUT CERTAINLY BRING SOMETHING THAT HAS THE SAME FEATURES AND EASE OF USE OF FLASH WITHOUT THE BAD STUFF
