Aww I'm sad that Thunix is shutting down. I wasn't ready to say goodbye yet. 
bugbearIs tilde.green gone? Thunderbird just failed when trying to download news (NNTP) and when opening the website it seems to be a landing page for parked domains(?)
v0id1stOd dłuższego czasu działa w polskim internecie mój kolejny projekt, mianowicie https://tylda.org - polska instancja tildeverse.
Dla niezaznajomionych polega to na tym, że dostajecie dostęp do SSH na serwerze linux, macie swoją stronę, kapsułę gemini i konto w chmurze. Na samym linuxie można robić w sumie cokolwiek, domyślnie mamy wewnętrznego maila oraz IRC.
Zapraszam zainteresowanych!

#LispyGopherClimate show
About 6 hours from now: https://anonradio.net/listen/
I will be guest-hosting the show this week, Wednesday 2026 February 11 at midnight UTC, giving a bit of relief to @screwlisp
Feel free to comment on this post for suggesting topics, or in response to things we say on the show.

The orange site shared this link, telnet.org which has a list of servers to which you can connect over Telnet. (Warning: these are always unencrypted connections).
If you want a Telnet-like experience but over a secure #TLS connection (e.g. using an #SSH client), check out the “Tildeverse,” https://tildeverse.org/ , a list of public-access servers with SSH login. It is like the #Fediverse but using TLS rather than the #ActivityPub protocol. The obvious drawback is that you need to know how to use a command line, but I doubt that would bother most Fediverse dwellers.
@screwlisp I didn’t see https://lambda.moo.mud.org at all in this list of Telnet logins. We may need to do something about that.
👾 -fab-Yay! I signed up on my first pubnix ever. I made a shell account at envs.net, which I was already using the Mastodon/ActivityPub service from (this one). Unfortunately the username "fab" was already taken, so I chose "dan" from my real name Daniel. I signed up on Mon, 12 Jan 2026 so I'm a member for a week and 3 days now. If you have at least a little experience with the commandline, then it won't be too hard even for users who never participated with a pubnix. And envs.net is already very well set up right from the beginning.

I was busily learning and setting things up the last days, but I still have to find my way around a little. All those special gadgets and gizmos that are available to the user are amazing! I've already set up a web page, a Gemini page and a little Gopher Hole with a phlog, which I'll use for publishing about my experiences and learning progress the most. I got also active on the Tildeverse IRC servers with my nick "fab" (not "dan", that was taken) and am mainly hanging around in the #meta and #envs channels (ircs://irc.tilde.chat:6697). I'm not very experienced with IRC and try my best to follow the rules, but if you're nice, then nobody would bite your head off, if you accidently do something wrong. But there were and still are a lot of things I had/have to learn.
Most of the people at envs.net and on the Tildeverse IRC servers are very helpful and friendly. And they're very diverse. A really nice bunch of folks (at least those I already talked to). So if you are in search for a general purpose tilde with a minimalist approach, I can only recommend envs.net.
But if you are new to Pubnixes, I recommend a longer research. They can differ a lot. Some have special interests or purposes, some are especially for LGBTQ people and they may have different demands in participation activity and behaviour. I even found one especially about baking (breadpunks.club). So do your homework before signing up to your first pubnix.
But I can't say often enough, how much fun I had the last week. Setting up, learning, creating. It's great! Here are my links:
https://dan.envs.net/ - This is just an "About and Contacts" page (yet)
gemini://envs.net/~dan/ - This is also mostly a short informational Gemini page
gopher://envs.net/1/~dan/ - This is my Gopher Hole with a phlog. I think this will be my main publishing platform about my adventures and experiences in the Tildeverse. It's maintained with a CLI app called "burrow" by James Tomasino, which is a breeze to use. Some short configuration and you have your Gopher Hole and phlog up and running.
https://gopher.envs.net/envs.net/1/~dan/ - This is a web proxy to my Gopher Hole at envs.net
If you want to write to me concerning my pages or my shell account at envs.net in general, you can write email to '~dan <[email protected]>'. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
And if you ever wanted to know how it's like to be part of a multiuser Linux system with cool, friendly and helpful people try a Tilde/Pubnix!

Artur ManuelI've recently gotten hooked to the Gemini protocol. This obsession came about after I learned about the Tildeverse over XMPP, registered for tilde.pink, and started playing with the public_gemini directory. If you can write basic Markdown, you can write Gemtext with minimal differences. It is really easy to create a capsule (webpage) from nothing. As such, I loved it except for one small nitpick.
I am really used to using scripts for fun behaviour. For example, on my own webpage, I usually greet newcomers using their time of day instead of simple greetings like "good to see you" or "hello". I don't have a clue why I prefer this other than "it's funny". However, Gemini doesn't provide any means of scripting in their spec. As such, you cannot script Gemini capsules on most Gemini servers, including gmid which is used by tilde.pink.
I was thinking of solutions for this, and I concluded that I should probably look into templating and scheduled builds for this task. My reasoning for this is that it provides the illusion of scripted behaviour while remaining statically built for the small web. This could also be used in many Gemini servers as it creates Gemtext files from templates. This would make Gemini scriptable while retaining it's purpose.
I'm planning to design this in Ruby, mostly as an influence from Jekyll. If anyone wants to talk about it more with me, please let me know, as I am open to ideas. I also plan to write a post about the Tildeverse when I'm well rested. More specifically, about my thoughts regarding the community.
