What’s the most common feature set on these tilde gists? 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net … what’s a tilde gist? 🤔
Like @movq@www.uninformativ.de, I am puzzled about the term. I am sure it is an Australianism. 😂
@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net LOL that was some bad late night typing on mobile 🤣 I meant tilde clubs and feature or services they typically have or users expect? Like this list from tilde green https://wiki.tilde.green/services/
@prologic@twtxt.net yes. And more. Or less. There are no “standards”, nor templates.
@bender@twtxt.net What I want to understand is the minimum capability you’d expect? 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net because all sign ups are vetted and human approved, the operator set the limits, I figure, based on the resources available.
@prologic@twtxt.net ahh! “Capability”. Minimum is terminal (SSH) access, and availability of tools present on an UNIX alike box. That’s usually the minimum, and the most common capability.
Many offer the ability to compile in a few languages, and to run your own programs and processes persistently, emails, web hosting, IRC (their own network), etc.
@bender@twtxt.net Hmm I think I’m not explaining myself very well 🤣 I’ll msg you if you’re not too busy!
@prologic@twtxt.net sure thing! I am at mum’s for coffee. Message away, always!
@bender@twtxt.net It’s not super important, I tagged you on IRC, but essentially I’m trying to build a tilde (shared linux host) thingy of some sort 😅 just experimenting with an idea I’ve had a while back. See for example working trivial “Hello World” at http://mbox.blue/~prologic/ – The basic idea is that when you ssh -p 222 user@mbox.blue that you actually are put into a sandboxed container. The container is capable of being detached to keep long-running processes like tmux and whatever running with ^p^q (CTRL+p; CTRL+q) and all data stored in $HOME is persisted. Additionally $HOME/public_html is automatically mapped to the root’s web server. That’s about is so far…
Oh and I should mention that mbox.blue is running µLinux 😅
@prologic@twtxt.net how does one signs up? I am sure you haven’t advertised the service yet, right?
