tilde.team is a tilde created in 2017 by ben

a digital community for socializing, learning, and making cool stuff

manifesto

tilde.team is a shared system that provides an inclusive, non-commercial space for teaching, learning, practicing and enjoying the social medium of unix.

here are some of our most important values:

tilde.team is an alternative social environment for the technically-inclined; specifically, a non-commercial alternative to the mainstream, corporate-owned media and social media. we aim to put the users in control of the tools of communication that are currently being neutered by corporate commodification of the www.
provide tools, resources and encouragement for users to develop ideas and best practices for the next generation of public access unix systems. the "next generation" is always ahead of the present, so this implies that the system is in a constant state of development and self-improvement, with a continually rolling set of goals, and regular testing and evaluation of experimental projects. –all of which is powered by user involvement in a brainstorming/experimenting/teaching/learning/doing model.
serve partly as a meta-community among other tildes and pubnixes, both sharing best practices and learning from their experiences.
last but absolutely not least –> MAKE IT FUN! it should not be a bitter place to sulk or rant about mainstream culture. it should be a social environment in which users can go wild and push their creative skills to the limit. it should be a place to appreciate what does not exist in other exploitative commercial environments.

email

tilde.team has a mailserver. here are your options:

clients and connection settings

mutt - should work out of the box
alpine - should work out of the box
webmail
imap/smtp
- some clients will autoconfigure (tested with thunderbird)
- email address: username@tilde.team (or any of the domains below)
- username: username (without the domain)
- password: your shell password

Ports
protocol	hostname	port	encryption type
imap	imap.tilde.team	143	starttls
imaps	imap.tilde.team	993	tls
pop3s	pop3.tilde.team	995	tls
smtp	smtp.tilde.team	587	starttls
smtps	smtp.tilde.team	465	tls

alternate domains and addresses

because ~ben hoards domain names, you can use any of the below domains with your tildemail:

mail sent to yourusername@ any of those domains will end up in your inbox. most clients will allow you to add additional identities/aliases.

additionally, any address with a + and arbitrary text behind it will be forwarded to your email: ie. yourusername+somethingcool@tildeteam.org. plus-addresses are very useful for filtering mail.

forwarding and sieve

if you would like your tildemail to be forwarded somewhere else, put that email address in a file called ~/.forward

echo myotheraddress@example.com > ~/.forward

we also have sieve and managesieve support.

scripts belong in ~/sieve/, with the active sieve script named ~/.dovecot.sieve (to conform with managesieve).

here are some example sieve scripts

managesieve is available on the default port (4190) if you want to use an external managesieve client (like the thunderbird add-on).

our webmail is pre-configured to manage your sieve scripts.

domains

because ~ben hoards domain names, the following domains are associated with tilde.team and/or the tildeverse somehow:

fuckup.club - alias
nand.sh - alias
ttm.sh - url shortener
tild3.org - alias
tildə.net - alias
tilde.chat - irc net
tilde.life - redirect
tilde.news - lobste.rs clone
tilde.site - alias
tilde.wiki - tildeverse wiki
tilde.zone - mastodon and related stuff
tildegit.org - gitea
tilderadio.org - tildeverse radio
tildeteam.net - alias
tildeteam.org - alias
tildeverse.net - the tildeverse!
tildeverse.org - the tildeverse!

aliases can be used as-is, where redirects will simply change to a tilde.team url.

note that redirects do not have ssl certs. if you have a cool project that could use one of the not sure or redirect domains, let me know.

bsd.tilde.team

tilde.team offers an alternate host: bsd.tilde.team, which runs freebsd 13.

currently it supports:

webhosting out of ~/public_html at https://<user>.bsd.tilde.team or https://bsd.tilde.team/~<user>
email with user@bsd.tilde.team - feel free to forward this elsewhere or to your main @tilde.team address
finger
local irc server: localhost:6667 plaintext or bsd.tilde.chat:6697

currently, this vm is hosted on a server i rent from hetzner in germany, so feel free to put your chat client etc here if you get better ping.

the user creation script copied over the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file in your $HOME on ~team. feel free to adjust as needed or holler if you need an admin for something. you should be able to just ssh user@bsd.tilde.team instead of user@tilde.team

there’s a mailing list thread for discussion that i’ll post updates to. feel free to holler in #team on irc as well.
