  • Upgrading old PERL script

    From Robert Wolfe@KLYNTAR to DIGITAL MAN on Fri May 1 07:33:00 2026
    What's a "tilde"?

    Probably in reference to https://tilde.club/

    Or the ~ character.

    ... Any sufficiently advanced bug will become a feature.

    Both - one-box *nix communities got nicknamed Tildes after the
    old-school web method of providing user HTML space back in the days of
    shell accounts.

    For example, my username on tilde.club is poindexter and my home page
    is https://tilde.club/~poindexter
