title: ~Tilde ...
Each Tilde is a small community built around a single multi-user machine, usually running a Unix-like OS.
Any member of the community has SSH access to its /home/~username and can build there a site, personal page, such stuff. For you server has a bunch of compilers and interpreters installed aside with popular editors (/Emacs, /Vim) and version control systems (/Git, /Mercurial). You may think about it as a shared sandbox.
The server itself usually provides
- intranet email (sort of)
- local-only IRC chat
- local bulletin board (BBS)
- multi-user games (MUD)
- PasteBin-like service
- ...
Tildeverse tries to be a hub for all the tildes around the World. It will be your starting point to choose a server and request the invitation. Yep, almost any Tilde register newcomers through the good-old emails :)
Just for fun! If you as me myself (/who/astynax) was not involved in the world of shared machines you can fill such a gap in the experience and try to "live" inside a small machine with very limited resources!
