CTRL-C.CLUB WEBJAM 2023

Hey all! We're having a webjam in August!

Have you always meant to finish setting up your site on Ctrl-C.club but never got around to it? From Aug. 25 to Sep. 1, we'll be taking a week to update, polish, and fix our sites. Details on how to participate are here.

Special thanks to ~gome for putting this on for us!

What's going on with the user count?

Our little server is filling up again. To make room for our active and new users, we're archiving accounts that have not been logged into in 5 years or more.

If your account was archived and you'd like it set back up, or if you'd just like the data you had on the server sent to you, reach out to admin@ctrl-c.club.

Want to chat?

We're now part of the tilde.chat IRC network!

How about a forum?

Our text forum, Iris, is available through SSH! Once you're logged in, type `iris` to join the conversation.

Want to get involved in the next big little thing?

If you've been paying attention to your home directory, you've noticed a new subdirectory: `public_gemini`. That's because we're now running a Gemini server! It's available at gemini://gemini.ctrl-c.club

Gemini is a new, collaboratively designed internet protocol that is less complicated than the web, but more robust and modern than gopher.

Add .gmi files to your public_gemini directory, and your Gemini site will be published to our Gemini home page in an hour or so.

Details about the protocol are available at https://gemini.circumlunar.space
