@squirrel *gets a big sheet and wafts warm in the squobit's direction*
@squirrel *wiggles their tentacles*
@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
maplebots all crowded around a window watching a thunderstorm come up with for a distributed, federated site that's /better/ than #Rust.
@codl sadly these ones have to be... glued? to a wall in a location that's on the first floor
@kobold what's the proper word for a quadruped dragon (as opposed to a biped dragon with arms)?
'cause quadruped kobolds would obviously serve quadruped dragons
@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?
