Getting Started at Tilde Space

Yet another tilde space

Recently, my signup at tilde.guru has been accepted. I logged into the tilde server for the first time. It's the same command line but on a different OS than my daily OS. It is FreeBSD.

I quickly check the server specs.

Here is a snippet of the system specification.

sysctl -a 
hw.model: Intel Core Processor (Skylake, IBRS)
hw.ncpu: 2
hw.byteorder: 1234
hw.physmem: 2112188416
hw.usermem: 1658671104
hw.pagesize: 4096
hw.floatingpoint: 1
hw.machine_arch: amd64
hw.realmem: 2147483648

Dual core vm, with 2GB of memory. Pretty modest, right? Now let's check if there is a disk quota for me.

quota
Disk quotas for user mydeardiary (uid 1085): none

No disk quota is enforced. Now, let's check how much disk space is available here.

df -h
Filesystem         Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ufs/rootfs     77G     33G     38G    47%    /

Ok, 38G is available out of 77G.

Since there is no disk quota and only limited number of free disk space, I think that each user on this tilde space is required to have a common sense regarding fair use of this limited resource.

My use case here is serving a static webspace and a gemini space. Maybe a little knowledge digging about the underlying os?

Anyway, I am very thankful to sarmonsiill who let me be a resident of this humble tilde space.
