someone else pledged to the computer fairies patreon and i'm wondering, if i get to the $30 mark i should upgrade to the 4gb linode and also run a git repo server...

@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?

@troubleMoney idk if it'll be a lot of spare tbh i have not even a single clue what tilde.town is/how it works

@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

@troubleMoney that sounds extremely fun and like something i won't enjoy at all because it sounds like the kind of thing that has a very tight-knit community that's impenetrable

@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
