    Hello woofers, Happy 2025! I have not made an announcement since 2024! And we're more than halfway finished with this year! Sorry about that. To keep the server well-oiled, I will be moving UNIX.dog to a more consistent and planned maintenance schedule: **Maintenance will occur on the first Sunda [...]

    HEADS UP the date has been set for town's rehoming. on MAY 24th and MAY 25th we will be DOWN! while ~insom and I perform the migration of town to physical hardware: a kind of transubstantiation when you think about it. or perhaps a reverse transubstantiation. what does this mean? it means that i [...]

    Hi barkers, The migration to the new HostHatch FreeBSD server has gone well! There is some local userland software missing that I will have to reinstall as required, but the services are running a lot smoother. The new Sharkey instance is also running, and it has been a lot more performant than Ak [...]

    cadastre is a very cool project where townies can define an ascii art square in their home directories and have it included in a big town grid. It was originally written by ~troido but needed some TLC. The code has been patched up by ~pawky and ~asm and I've moved the project to a top level URL. [...]
    | UNIX.dog
    Hi woofers, First all, there is a new Sharkey instance at https://sk.unix.dog. I'm sorry to announce that the Akkoma instance will become read-only in 3 months. The database has become rotted and the server software is not performant, and the user experience has dropped dramatically. To replace i [...]

    TL;DR: During the week of Nov. 25th, services will be potentially unavailable as I migrate the VPS. Hi woofers, Thanks for sticking around this long. Some might have noticed a bit of a lapse in the announcements, and that's partially because I've been pretty busy. However, the technical debt of us [...]

    hi, it's ~vilmibm I had a bunch of town thoughts knocking around in my head so I figured I'd put em in one place instead of doling out on a microblog. what a nice con we had. The first ever town con was a very positive experience. In terms of my expectations they were exceeded wildly. Turns ou [...]

    Hi woofers, Tomorrow, at around 16:00 PDT, I'm going to be rebooting the server quickly to apply kernel updates. Sorry for the short notice, but I can't keep postponing it. Again, that's Tomorrow, September 2nd, 16:00 PDT: 2024-09-02T16:00:00-0700 Keep barking! ~ Citlali

    Why ~vern has been down so much ~cobra Tue, 16 May 2023 Wow. I am very enraged so I’ll keep this concise. You might notice we stopped hosting GotHub. I’ll get to that. For the past few million years ~vern has been on and off accessibility-wise because Odyssey (yes, that Odyssey) created an accoun [...]
