Asking for passwords to non-Facebook systems is a violation of one of the fundamental rules of computer security, even if it was accidental as FB claims. I will no longer use a service that treats their users like stupid sheep. I'm deleting my Facebook account, and recommend that you do the same. If you neef to contact me, e-mail [email protected]. Love and peace. Sorry Zoli.

polarhome's old server racks are changed to a much taller HP ones, that would provide better ventilation. The servers are moved over but the cable wiring is not finished yet, therefore many servers are not online... but will be in a day or two.

inspired by Curt Mayer's donation that added more disk space to AIX and Solaris/SPARC servers. Other servers will move to an improved environment too and in the same time the server racks will be changed. Therefore all servers will be down some short period during this week.

syllable desktop is open for the public. It does not run many services, but has a functional gcc for ethusiasts and contributors. Learn more about syllable at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllable_Desktop

Syllable Desktop is a free and open source operating system for Pentium and compatible processors. Its purpose is to create an easy-to-use desktop operating system for the home and small office user. It was forked from the stagnant AtheOS in July 2002.

Has everyone heard of tilde.club? It's a free (as in speech AND beer) public access Un*x system set up for the purpose of building an online community using standard Unix shell utilities. It's the Internet of the early 1990s, which has always been with us hidden under all the apps, ads, glitz, and distractions of the Web today. The founder tells how it happened: https://medium.com/message/tilde-club-i-had-a-couple-drinks-and-woke-up-with-1-000-nerds-a8904f0a2ebf

The original host, tilde.club, has been filled, but several other hosts have been set up inspired by the idea: http://tilde.club/%7Epfhawkins/othertildes.html

I've joined several of them: http://tilde.town/~papa/tildeverse.html

The tildee movement is very much in-line with Zoli's motivations for setting up Polarhome. At the very least some of the ways people are playing with their tildee Web pages can inspire some fun on our Polarhome accounts.

Tilde.Club is supported by a global community of good people. We don't rank people by the amount they give, only by the fact that they gave. Here's who has donated! When you're on the server, THANK THEM.

polarhome's fast uplink is closed down because of abuse. We are all running on a slow backup line until this issue is resolved.
