Thinking of setting up a part of my tailnet as a tilde-like space for myself and folk interested in small alternative social networks with a tech/tinkerer focus. Seeing the post on chat-tails, a Tailscale IRC-like chat with telnet/netcat backend, gave me the idea, as it's akin to how tildes provide chat, amongst other services. I'd put in things like a gemini server, shared workspaces,a space to journal, and my own "dev-log" stream so people can call me out on anything I'm setting up.

I think it'd be a good way for me (and others?) to learn more on network administration and security. Definitely a place where friction in workflows are welcome.

As I am an aspiring network/service/system administrator, it'd be fun to do this with some other beginners with interest in this area, and start building a small community. Skilled folk too who may wish to lend a hand. If you're interested, flick me an email so we can open conversation and keep you in the loop, otherwise once I get something going I will post it up here again anyway.

I love early-morning ideas.
