[Introductory post] Hello! I'm ~dan and envs.net is my first pubnix
by ~dan 18 Jan '26

18 Jan '26

Hello envs.net citizens! Because I would like to (hopefully) bring some life into the mailing list, and also because I'm a new user since Mon, 12 Jan 2026 I'll post a little introductory post on here (despite having posted an introduction to #meta already). So, my handle is ~dan, but you can also call me Daniel, or "fab" which I go by in Gemini/Gopher space and it's also my IRC nick. I'm 50 years old and live in a small town called Norf in Northrhine-Westphalia in Germany. I've retired early because of health problems, and I'm in no way an IT professional and never worked in that field. All I know about IT I've "learned by doing" and I'm a zealous computer nerd since I'm 8-9 years old (with a C64). I have most experience with Linux but I think I've also gotten into FreeBSD as a server system relatively far and like it a lot in the meantime. I have little to no experience with the Microslop OSs and I'm also not interested. I'm using AwesomeWM, which I have adjusted to my needs alot over the 3 years I'm using it now. I used QTile and I3 before, but I could have saved myself that if I had just tried AwesomeWM earlier. And I'm so satisfied with it that I fear the day when XOrg is completely outdated :( My programming interests are diverse: shell, python3 or even still perl. Whatever fits the problem best. At the moment I'm learning golang which I really like. But to say it again: I'm no professional in all of these. I learn while trying to solve a specific problem or need and I have to consult the docs often. I also have my own Gemini/Gopher/Finger/Smolnet server which is reachable at https://redterminal.org (or gemini://, gopher://, finger://). There you can also read more about me on the "About and Contact" page if you like. I wanted to be a member of a pubnix for a very long time already, but couldn't bring myself to sign up on one until now. I'm not really a people's person but I hope to come out of my shell a little more in this virtual space. And I may also not be a good teacher (I'll try my best) but at least I can try to be a good student. My main problem in not joining a pubnix earlier was/is a little uncertainty what it will be like and what's expected from me. But I was told in IRC "not to worry", which I thought was a wise advice. So I'll try not to worry too much with making mistakes. At least I believe, I won't break the service somehow :) I hope I'll make some friends over time and can be an enrichment for the community. I'm not sure what projects I'll follow with my time on envs.net yet (I'll start with trying to revive this mailing list), but I'm sure some ideas will come to mind sooner or later. I'll stop here before it's becoming a novel. But I want to highly encourage all the other members of envs.net to also post introduction posts, maybe also if they are older and wider known members of this pubnix. We could also make an introductory post a little more mandatory to make new users more known. And I also want to encourage ~creme to make this mailing list more prominent (although I believe he already has a lot to do). But maybe giving this mailing list it's own help page with general information and infos about what's its purpose without being too restrictive. It would also help new users to find out about the maybe long-established members if they would post something about themselves. So - That's it! I hope we have a good time together and thanks to ~creme for providing all this stuff and all the sudoers staff who do such an execellent job. And if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! Thanks for reading. Best wishes, ~dan -- envs.net shell account: dan(a)envs.net envs.net gemini info: gemini://envs.net/~dan/ envs.net gopher info: gopher://envs.net/1/~dan/

XMPP for chat and publishing
by Schimon Jehudah 18 Jan '26

Greetings. Would you consider XMPP in addition to the IRC chat service? Additionally, it is possible to publish over XMPP with platforms such as Movim. Kind regards, Schimon

You can use XMPP to connect to the tildeverse IRC channels by using a gateway extension, that means you need an account that has the service available like tilde.team xmpp On 14/01/2026 20:57, main-request(a)envs.net wrote: > Greetings. > > Would you consider XMPP in addition to the IRC chat service? > > Additionally, it is possible to publish over XMPP with platforms such > as Movim. > > Kind regards, > Schimon

XMPP/Jabber and some more things
by Mr. H 12 Jul '25

12 Jul '25

Hello folks, I know that we have a lot of messaging systems alternatives but we have XMPP/Jabber here at envs.net? Off-topic: By default we have a folder named files on our public_html but besides listing the files folder items over HTTPS we have FTP? P.S. — This mailing list is used for general discussion actively or not at all? I like to use as much as we use at lists.cock.li (but there is more for shitpost and sometimes some good shit) ----- hate at envs dot net
