Just a short update regarding some chances made on the server +recently. Upcoming will also be the upgrade to Fedora 39; if all goes well, we +should not be having any issues with this update. + +First off, I unfortunately had to shut down the *Funkwhale* service. This is mainly +due to technical issues in keeping the instance updated; it seems Funkwhale is just +not compatible enough with Fedora to keep it running without issues. As such, the +service is offline and will not be back for the foreseeable future. In the meantime +I will see if I can find a suitable alternative. + +Additionally, the gogs service has been replaced with [Forgejo](https://forgejo.org/). +This is a fork of the popular (but now infamous) Gitea project that we used in the +past. I have decided to host this new instance on a different subdomain, +[forge.subcon.town](https://forge.subcon.town). The gogs service will no longer be +available. + +Near the end of the month I will start migrating the server to *Fedora 39*. Preparations +have already been made, so that everything will hopefully go without any issues. +Fingers crossed. + +Some more plans are currently in the works after the migration has been dealt with. +I've currently been testing a *web IRC client* that has been working very favorably. +Together with that, I've been planning to set up an *IRC server* of our own to pair +it with. To further boost the options we have for communication, I've also been +looking into hosting a *Matrix* server. However this one is still in the works and +will depend a lot on if *Conduit* or *Dendrite* end up working as advertised. + +That is all for now, happy hacking! \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/resources/views/pages/faq.php b/resources/views/pages/faq.php index 1ea1dc7..5772795 100644 --- a/resources/views/pages/faq.php +++ b/resources/views/pages/faq.php @@ -1,25 +1,37 @@

FAQ

- Q: You're running on the Odroid H3 now, right? + Q: What is a tilde community?
- A: Yes, all Subcon services have been moved to the new hardware - and are fully functional. + A: Tilde communities are pubnixes, public access unix systems. We took our inspiration + from older such servers like tilde.club + and the tildes from tildeverse.org. + Put simply, a pubnix is a public server that is being shared by a number of people, that + use it simply for fun, or for purpose. +

+

+ Q: Why would I join a tilde community? +
+ A: Good question! Ultimately that depends on you. Do you like + doing computer stuff? Do you like bonding with people over computers? Or do you + just like having a little space on the web to do stuff? Then you might like it.

Q: Is Subcon Town open for new users?
- A: We're still doing some work on some services, but in general - everything is ready. Note that Subcon Town is an invite-only community; you may certainly - ask for an invite, but generally we will only accept people that are known to us already. + A: Yes, but keep in mind we're an invite-only community. You can always ask + for an invite, and we don't mind giving people a chance, but we do like to run a tight ship. +

+

+ Q: Are there more open and public tilde communities? +
+ A: Yes, many of the tilde communities we took inspiration from are open to new + users. For example, tilde.club or some of the + communities on tildeverse.org will readily + accept new members. Some communities are themed around a subject, so you might find one that fits you.

Q: Can I get an account on one of your services?
A: Only as an existing member. If you're already a member, ask @fristi for an account. -

- Q: Is that the Yoshi's Island font? -
- A: Yes. It was good game.
