## what is a tilde?
|
|
|
|
a tilde character "~" followed by the username represents the user's "home" in
|
|
linux. `~spider` would link to spider's home directory.
|
|
|
|
a tilde in the community sense, is a home on the internet :)

|
## what is the tildeverse?
|
|
|
|
the tildeverse is a "loose" association of tildes and cool services for tildes.
|
|
in other words, it's a collection of public access unix systems (or *pubnixes*)
|
|
that have been grouped together to create a bigger community, and they share
|
|
services between each other.
|
|
|
|
you can learn more about the tildeverse on its homepage:
