nikdoof @ 2021-06-11 10:42:00

At 2021-06-11 22:00 +01:00 i'll be updating s1.dimension.sh to CentOS 8.4, as part of this it'll require a reboot of the host. Please make sure you've got any open files and so on saved and closed before then.

MUD - 7th Dimension

nikdoof @ 2021-06-04 08:58:00

This morning i've brought online a basic SMAUG MUD, named the '7th Dimension' (in honour of Dimension Mk1's MUD). Its a very basic install but playable, a lot of title card and text needs to be updated.

To access it by running mud command from your login, or telnet to port 4555 on localhost.

Package Issues

nikdoof @ 2021-06-03 15:31:00

This morning i've come across some packaging issues on s1.dimension.sh, hopefully nothing serious but I had to quite a bit of recovery work and reinstallations to get everything in a correct state. If you identify any issues then drop a mail to root and i'll sort it out.

Outbound SMTP fixed

nikdoof @ 2021-04-09 09:52:00

I've resolved an issue with the outbound SMTP server settings for Outlook clients, and it now accepts LOGIN authentication. If you have any further problems, then drop a mail to root.

If you're interested in using your email on an email client outside of the shell, then check out the IMAP settings wiki page.

Gopher and Gemini

nikdoof @ 2021-03-17 18:15:00

We now fully support Gopher and Gemini hosting. Regular users would of notice the appearance of public_gopher and public_gemini folders, which are hosted at their related endpoints:

HTTPS: https://dimension.sh/~username
Gopher: gopher://dimension.sh/1/~username
Gemini: gemini://dimension.sh/~username

If you need an example Gophermap or GMI you can copy the files from /etc/skel/. New users will have these files available to them on account creation.
