Let's meet up at port 22 to celebrate, experiment, and learn about text-based, smol computing along with the OpenBSD operating system. This server is explicitly against capitalism, states, fascists, cops, racists, antisemitism, sexists, harassment, homophobia, transphobia, ableists, and zionists.

What can you do in here? Let's figure it out together, but here are some ideas:

You can do much, much more, and I'm learning a lot myself! If you'd like to join me I have some activities planned for us.

Nazis fuck off

This service is built around the concept of care and mutual aid. Since data extraction and surveillance is everywhere in our digital world, I wanted to share a server that gives free, private, and secure communications to people. We need to take care and help each other, now more than ever.

So if you're using this service to practice the opposite like promoting fascism, nazism, militarism, copaganda, zionism, state nationalism, antisemitism, or contributing to the discrimination, harassment or harm against any individual or group through forms of discrimination based on gender, race, religion or sexual orientation, along with issuing statements which are racist, xenophobic, ableist or discriminatory in any other form, you will be blocked. Also, don't use this service to promote your businesses.

If you have the following or similar kinds of ideologies or affiliations, you are not welcome here:

If you work in any capacity (whether as a direct employee or a contractor) for any of the following types of organisations, you aren't welcome here, and if you reveal yourself as such, you will be blocked:

However, ideologies or affiliations based on counter-violence in opposition to oppression (like antifa/antifascism) are welcome here.

Membership and contact

If you agree with the server policy, send me an email along with your SSH key and tell me why you'd like to join! Membership is free, but if you can afford it, please make a recurring donation so that I can continue maintaining, moderating, and coming up with fun activities for us to do! I don't work at the moment, so this helps me out a lot.

Accessibility

A note on visual accessibility: even though the command line interface is text based, screen readers have a hard time with it because the text is unstructured. This is unfortunate, but I might have an alternative. If you want access to free software tools that can be accessed on a web browser (which is much better for screen readers), please take a look at Aangat Lahat. It's a system that I run that provides email, file sharing, RSS reader, and calendar services.

Privacy

Regarding privacy, registration to this server doesn't request for your real name, phone number, address, etc. IP addresses are logged, but only used for debugging purposes. Feel free to use the service via Tor or a trusted VPN as well.

The data that you store in your home directory is yours and will never be shared or sold to anyone. This is an anti-capitalist server fuck people who profit from our lives.

Users

The users on this system can be found on this page.

Sister projects

Take a look at similar projects that I've been working on as well and see if you're interested in them.

Aangat Lahat

Aangat Lahat is a mutual aid project in the form of bits and bytes. It gives people free email, calendar, RSS reader, and file sharing services.

Durian Distro

Durian Distro is a radical zine and mask distro in Lenapehoking.
