Multi-user Unix? What will they think of next?

This is cool, though. Gives people a taste of what it used to be like with everyone in the university logged into the big time-sharing machines all together.

We could call it Multics!

But yeah, I remember those glory days of everybody on the school's Sun 3/280, when an accidental fork bomb would ruin everyone's homework.

I kinda wish it stayed that way, or rather something better replaced multi-user systems as they aren't well suited to personal computers like we have nowadays. Plus I like the added bonus of not needing to spend much to have access to the kind of compute power needed for a compsci course, it makes compiling a lot faster

You apparently never had to share a 3B20 (around 1 MIP) with 200 other CS1401 students desperately trying to get their Pascal project to compile before the midnight deadline. 15m for 'hello world'? If you're lucky.

I believe it runs Linux. [This](https://medium.com/message/tilde-club-i-had-a-couple-drinks-...) is the story behind tilde.club.

The editorialized title brings back memories of logging into smashthestack almost two decades ago leaving and looking at graffiti on the walls.

I didn't learn much following the link itself other than it is supposed to be pronounced TIL-dee and that some people have more money to spare than others.

Apparently there are a few more similar communities like the one from the post

Similar to SDF.org and envs.net

It has been years since I have heard of this. Looks great!

I started my own! Scrappy https://tildeweb.nl

Leuk, mag ik meespelen?

Cool

Hey, I signed up for an account 2 days ago. Still no response, does anyone know what that means? Not accepted or it's just one overworked volunteer?
