.TH COSMIC.VOYAGE 1 "20 Nov 2018"
|
||||
.SH NAME
|
||||
cosmic.voyage - humanity's stellar diaspora
|
||||
.SH DESRIPTION
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
.B cosmic.voyage
|
||||
is a public access unix system (pubnix) and part of the tilde
|
||||
(tildeverse) community of micro-instances offering free shell
|
||||
accounts. It exists primarily to author and promote
|
||||
a collaborative science-fiction universe. A secondary goal is the
|
||||
promotion of command-line skills in *nix systems. The use of plain
|
||||
text tools and command line interfaces is both a thematic choice
|
||||
and technical practice.
|
||||
.SH STORY
|
||||
Our users write stories as the people aboard ships, colonies, and
|
||||
outposts, using the only remaining free, interconnected network
|
||||
that unites the dispersed peoples of the stars.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The
|
||||
.B Quantum Entanglement Communicator
|
||||
or
|
||||
.B QEC
|
||||
is the a device that bridges the vast distances of space with near-
|
||||
instantaneous communication. Unfortunately, it provides only
|
||||
a limited bandwidth to the ancient relay hub in the SOL system. It
|
||||
is enough for only simple, plain-text messaging.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The ships in our story have all left Earth behind at different
|
||||
times, and in some cases they've left from different realities.
|
||||
The QEC bridges all these gaps, uniting ships across time and
|
||||
space in the strangest of ways. Records are stored chronologically
|
||||
on the relay hub as they are received, but their source
|
||||
transmissions are often wildly out of sync.
|
||||
.SH GETTING STARTED
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
New users are greeted with a welcome email upon the creation of
|
||||
their account that provides information on creating a ship, the
|
||||
structure of files and folders, and instructions for creating logs
|
||||
to the QEC. This welcome email can be read using the programs
|
||||
.B alpine
|
||||
or
|
||||
.B mutt.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
New users may also find it useful to use the interactive menu
|
||||
system by running the
|
||||
.B menu
|
||||
command.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
Finally, users may find up-to-date comprehensive guides on the
|
||||
system wiki by running the
|
||||
.B wiki
|
||||
command.
|
||||
.SH BUGS
|
||||
There are probably many bugs in this system. Please report
|
||||
anything you find by mailing
|
||||
.B tomasino@cosmic.voyage
|
||||
or finding us on irc.tilde.chat in the #cosmic room.
|
||||
.SH AUTHOR
|
||||
Cosmic Voyage was created by James Tomasino, but the works of
|
||||
fiction for each ship are the results of the individual authors on
|
||||
this system. Run the
|
||||
.B roster
|
||||
command to see who is responsible for each ship.
