tomi's https://wordsmith.social/tomi/ my brain toilet for you to enjoy Fri, 08 May 2026 02:08:51 +0000 I'm called ~tomi from now on https://wordsmith.social/tomi/im-called-tomi-from-now-on <![CDATA[Hey hello, I have found tilde people. !--more-- I think I have reached the next milestone in my journey through the Fediverse. There are apparently things called pubnixes, which are public unix systems. You can just find one and apply/join and get access to it. It's basically your own little folder where you do stuff on a remote machine. But wait there's more. These pubnixes have whole communities around them, basically they are the people who use these systems. Usually they host their own services from the same unix machine, which could be blogs, IRC, whatever. So I'm a curious person and I'm constantly looking around the Fediverse for new stuff, and I think I was looking at the different instances for Mastodon, when I found tilde.zone. They have a pretty big network of tilde people generally, and they are a chill maker, developer community. It's called the tildeverse. It's multiple pubnixes joining together under the tilde. aussies.space cosmic.voyage ctrl-c.club envs and a lot more I went through most of their pages, checked out their stuff and decided to join the tilde team. They pretty quickly approved my application and I got access to the pubnix. It's amazing, it's really like when you go to someone's home and it's just nice and cozy and you can feel they really made it their own. There's a blog, IRC, gopher, gemini, and html hosting. It's really a chest full of treasure. The people there are incredibly cool, it does seem that they know each other (at least the active ones), which is expected. I don't really talk in IRC, mostly just lurking as usually I don't have anything to add or I don't feel like breaking up a conversation. Not sure how to join an IRC when you don't know anyone in there. It's a bit intimidating to be honest. Oh and they have a mastodon bot and you can make it toot just about anything really. This community is really cool.]]> Hey hello, I have found tilde people. I think I have reached the next milestone in my journey through the Fediverse.

Basically I get frustrated by the constant problems with updates, bugs, lack of options in Windows and I wipe my laptop and throw a Linux on it. After that I'll spend about 2-4 days configuring it before using it for anything really. After using Linux for 1-2 months I get the unbearable urge to play them games, and while Wine is cool and all it's still a wonky emulation trying to run things that barely run on the real thing. So I switch back to Windows and the cycle continues. I jumped into Linux about a week ago, and I'm constantly looking for new stuff that might be useful, new configs, new tools, etc. So I randomly found a Mastandon cli app and that's when I looked it up. After that I found fediverse.party and it just went on from there. Now I am on koyu.space and really nice instance, with email, irc, gemini, mumble hosting, hell they have a minecraft server. I made an account on wordsmith.social as well and wow this whole Open Web system just blew my mind. I'll probably either use this for content or a gemini server. Or maybe both who knows. Maybe I'll even try to automate the whole process.]]> I started a journey through the Fediverse. I tend to switch between Linux and Windows every now and then.
