@squirrel *gets a big sheet and wafts warm in the squobit's direction*

@squirrel *wiggles their tentacles*

the octopus would like some ice put in their tank please

it's a bit warm

@Jo @squirrel same with me

Running Android 7.1.2 if that matters for anything

@squirrel ah, apparently not

I'm sure I'll find a way of using something like that eventually though

@squirrel I'm really going to have to get that running in wine aren't I

Did you know?

Computer Fairies is already on a fork

tiles are really quite heavy and not fun to carry up stairs

@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?
