a digital community for socializing, learning, and making cool stuff
tilde.team is a shared system that provides an inclusive, non-commercial space for teaching, learning, practicing and enjoying the social medium of unix.
i created this tilde after hearing about paul ford's tilde.club. when i was unable to join due to the waitlist, i decided to create my own tilde.
thanks for stopping by!
tilde.team is a founding member of tildeverse.org, which is a collaborative effort among several other tilde servers.
hosting and domains are paid out-of-pocket. tilde.team will always be free to use. however, if you are able and willing to pitch in, you can donate here.
tilde.team got hacked. Someone was able to gain a root shell and ran rm -rf /.
There's very little left to track down what happened or who did it.
I take daily backups of the VM it's on so we lost at most a couple hours of files.
I'm currently working on restoring services that ran on the same host that users log in to. ssh access is currently disabled in the meantime. The plan is to move all services that are able to run elsewhere to the new VM I've created for those services. The mailserver is currently back up and running and you should be able to resume using IMAP/SMTP as usual.
Some of the services and sites I've already moved are:
I'm still evaluating what to do with IRC, XMPP, email, nextcloud, and a few others.
I'll post another update here when shell access is re-enabled.

my, how time flies!
somehow seven years have passed since i set up tilde.team.
life has been a bit busy lately and i haven't had as much time as i would like to spend on tilde stuff. luckily, most things seem to keep running with little interference and folks keep making cool stuff and building community.
if you haven't been around in a while, stop by! ssh in, update your homepage, and maybe even pop in to irc to say hi :)
happy birthday tilde.team!
see ya around the interwebs, ~ben
i completed the upgrade to ubuntu 22.04 today!
this one was relatively easy, only a couple things to sort out.
got all kinds of new software with this one, including stuff like ruby 3, php 8.1, and python 3.10.
it's likely that you will have to recreate any python virtualenvs or any similar locally-downloaded deps.
holler if you notice anything amiss on irc or the mailing list!
