As such, while the initial rollout is primarily for the admin's friends and comrades, I'm certainly open to welcoming people I haven't yet met personally.

Calibre is the premiere open-source ebook manager, allowing you to read, organize, and convert your ebooks. This is an online version of that, a shared digital library representing the interests of the citizens of Moonbeam.town. What can I do with it? text/html 2022-06-18T02:23:26+00:00 wraidd (wraidd@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.moonbeam.town/searx?rev=1655519006&do=diff What is it? Searx is a privacy-focused search engine aggregator. On a sufficiently-provisioned instance it typically returns high-quality results. Unfortunately, Moonbeam.town is not sufficiently provisioned, so the results you get from this specific instance are less than optimal. Nevertheless, for the time being, we're maintaining the service. text/html 2022-06-18T02:18:02+00:00 wraidd (wraidd@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.moonbeam.town/control_panel?rev=1655518682&do=diff What is it? Your Moonbeam.town Control Panel is your landing page for accessing Moonbeam.town services via the web. It also allows you to reset your password and update your account information.

I'm your admin, you can call me Jack or Wraidd, and I've set this place up as a private corner of the internet for friends and friends-of that have a vague interest in not selling their entire life profile to our megacorp overlords. Think of this system like the BBSes of old text/html 2022-06-18T01:49:31+00:00 wraidd (wraidd@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.moonbeam.town/nextcloud?rev=1655516971&do=diff What is it? Nextcloud is a file synchronization service similar to Dropbox or Google Drive. A daemon sits on your desktop or your phone and watches a directory (or directories) you specify, maintaining a mirror image of that directory on Moonbeam.town's server. This basic principle is expanded upon to provide other kinds of synchronization, and plugins installed server-side provide additional functionality. text/html 2022-06-17T23:24:58+00:00 wraidd (wraidd@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.moonbeam.town/matrix_chat?rev=1655508298&do=diff What is it? Matrix is, at its core, a protocol for maintaining synchronous JSON databases across multiple servers. The practical upshot of this is that, combined with the right client software, it is possible to use this protocol for single- and multi-user chats.

You know how email works. Your address is username@moonbeam.town, and can be used just like any other email address. What can I do with it? The same kinds of things that you can do with any email -- send and receive messages, either to other Moonbeam.town users or to people in the wider internets. text/html 2022-06-17T23:11:44+00:00 wraidd (wraidd@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.moonbeam.town/tilde_web?rev=1655507504&do=diff What is it? Your own personal web space, which is located at <https://moonbeam.town/~username>. You can upload static HTML, images, and suchlike to this space via SFTP or SCP using your control panel username and password. What can I do with it? As mentioned above, you can host a website. Nothing too fancy, Geocities-level stuff. text/html 2022-06-03T03:13:46+00:00 wraidd (wraidd@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.moonbeam.town/2022-06-02_-_usage_survey?rev=1654226026&do=diff Greetings, programs! As you know, Moonbeam.town has been in operation for about eighteen months. Now seems like a good time to gather a bit of information about how everyone is using the service. To that end, I've created this poll: * <https://cloud.moonbeam.town/apps/polls/s/kr2QuX8Z0aZvHkWD> It's a simple survey, accessible via your Moonbeam logins. If you could take a quick minute to go fill it out I'd appreciate it! The survey will be open until 1 July. text/html 2022-06-02T12:53:07+00:00 wraidd (wraidd@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.moonbeam.town/2022-05-30_-_matrix_issues?rev=1654174387&do=diff Update 2022-06-02 As of this morning, as far as I can tell everything is more or less working again. There appear to be a few issues with media decoding in Matrix for things that were uploaded in the day or so prior to the failure, but other than that I'm not seeing any problems.
