No news from tilde.team since the past August..
tilde.team got hacked. Someone was able to gain a root shell and ran rm -rf /. There's very little left to track down what happened or who did it. I take daily backups of the VM it's on so we lost at most a couple hours of files.
I'm currently working on restoring services that ran on the same host that users log in to. ssh access is currently disabled in the meantime. The plan is to move all services that are able to run elsewhere to the new VM I've created for those services. The mailserver is currently back up and running and you should be able to resume using IMAP/SMTP as usual.
Some of the services and sites I've already moved are:
tildegit.org
tilde.news
gopher.tildeverse.org
bbj.tildeverse.org
write.tildeverse.org
zine.tildeverse.org
I'm still evaluating what to do with IRC, XMPP, email, nextcloud, and a few others.
I'll post another update here when shell access is re-enabled.
