- nimbius 5y agoamen. more public access linux/unix can be found on the tildeverse! https://tildeverse.org/ https://tildeverse.org/
- faefox 5y agoAny idea why their page is now a rickroll?
- jeremyjh 5y agoThey've evolved from the 90s into the 00s.
- easrng 5y agoBecause you're visiting from HN and annoying HN users can be funny. See also https://jwz.org https://jwz.org (NSFW when visited from HN)
- traverseda 5y agoA bit more mean-spirited then that, tildeverse appears to set a cookie as well so the redirect keeps happening.
- butlerm 5y agoIn my experience, most browsers cache "Permanent" redirects indefinitely, which of course makes it impossible for the user to access the original URL again, or at least until they clear the cache.
- gglitch 5y agoOut of curiosity, what sorts of things do you do on it?
- user3939382 5y agoOne example is whenever a server isn’t working and I need to see if the connection problem is specific to my machine or LAN, I pop into SDF and ping it from there. It’s basically a Swiss army knife. You get email, webspace, you can use it as an anonymizing SSH hop, IRC, they have a little proprietary chat system, and all kinds of other tools and systems. The lifetime membership is so cheap it’s hard to believe it’s real.
