tilde.black online

My new tilde community, tilde.black, is officially online:
Website
Gopher
Website over tor
Gopher over tor
It is an openbsd 6.4 system that will be focused on activities
around privacy, anonymity, and security. To be clear, this is not
a system for black-hat hacking (whether targeted at tilde.black or
outward), but rather for discussion and testing of ideas that
promote smart behaviors around privacy online. I hope we will
create some well-reviewed guides in the near future.

If you want to join tilde.black, send me an ssh pubkey and an
email address to receive your welcome email. If you want to remain
anonymous on the system, you can use a disposable email address,
and you can connect to the server via ssh over tor [0].

Additionally, users on tilde.black don't get to choose a username.
Instead you are assigned 10 of the 10,000 usernames that have been
pregenerated from a wordlist on the system. You can log in to any
or all of them. They're all full users with all access rights. You
can swap between them in the forums (not live yet) or send email
amongst yourself. If you connect to the server over tor nobody
will know the difference!

In case you're curious, openbsd doesn't seem to have any noticable
slowdown with 10,000 user accounts. That's pretty cool!
