Greetings, I recently setup my own NetBSD server to learn more about selfhosting and Unix. I am sharing it with anyone who also want to learn about command line and server stuff and will be also providing mentorship ( not an expert but know enough to at least teach begginers). stuff I can teach using that server: - basic command line - how to host stuff like static HTML pages - ssh concepts - hosting http alternative like Gemini, Gopher etc - scripting in Bash, Python etc so yeah, if you think you or someone else is interested in learning NetBSD share this post with them :) ( again this is just for begginers only please don’t sign up if you are already an expert or intermediate ) ( this is my mail alias I put to avoid spammers so don’t be afraid of it [email protected] [[email protected]] )

    If you are planning on running an open shell account server. I would look up joining the tildeverse as a member server.

      When I read “open shell account server” I thought this meant anyone can get access programmatically. This sounded like a disaster.

      But turns out, at least with the respect to this NetBSD specific offer, you have to send out an application.

        Yeah a shell account is a standard term for getting a terminal access in a shared system going all the way back to mainframes.

        Most universities at least in the US had a thing called a Sunsite that came with shell access sometimes.

      Yeah that’s a great idea! I will try to contact them. Thank you for the feedback.

      I have just one question do they also provide mentorship for beginners to learn?
