## hashbang

- `compute/hashbang` | qualifies-with-caveat | evidence documented | binding retention-clamped | category shared shell
- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-10-22 (live) | stale on 2026-11-22
- url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hashbang/shell-etc/master/cron.daily/clean-lurkers
- free tier: a free shared shell account; per-user limits applied at login are 512 MB memory, 50% CPU quota and a soft 150 process cap | unit: none | metered on: none | read on: 2026-10-06 | source: [1] | note: the limits live in the operator's deployed configuration, not on a marketing page
- per-object cap: not applicable
- retention: a daily sweep terminates sessions for any user with no SSH login in 30 days unless ~/.keep-account exists | days: 30 | note: the sweep keys off lastlog, so a detached tmux does not keep it alive
- egress: not published | metered: no | source: [2]
- identity: email | detail: an account with a registered SSH key; no card
- interface: rest, cli
- limits:
  - retention-clamped (binding): sessions terminated after 30 days with no SSH login unless ~/.keep-account exists [1]
  - request-rate: 512 MB memory, 50% CPU quota, soft 150 and hard 200 processes per user at login
  - write-gated: an SSH public key must be registered with the provisioning API [2]
- limits note: LXC containers on Atlantic.net
- binding note: the 30-day login sweep binds first, with a one-file opt-out
- interface detail: SSH on port 22; an SSH public key is registered with the provisioning API
- tooling: SSH, screen or tmux, cron
- composes with: a keepalive file is the cheapest way past the sweep, and it costs one touch
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: The 30-day sweep is the only real constraint and it has a one-file opt-out.
- evidence note: reachability only: a probe proves the port answers, not the quota, so the per-user limits carry the documented rung and the record is not `measured`

- identity a placeholder: card and phone unknown | verified 2026-11-04T01:24:43.357Z (live) | stale on 2026-12-05
- url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tablelandnetwork/docs/main/docs/fundamentals/limits.md
- free tier: No file storage: limits are 500000 rows and 24 columns per table and 1kb per cell (open-beta limits), about 12 GB of cell data per table at most; the docs say to store pointers to IPFS, Filecoin or Arweave instead. | unit: none | metered on: none | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not recorded | source: [1] | note: not recorded
- retention: not recorded | source: [1]
- egress: Reads go through an unauthenticated REST call to a gateway; no meter is stated. | metered: no
- identity: email | detail: unverified: no sign-up page was read; writes are onchain operations, so a wallet on a supported chain is needed.
- interface: unknown
- limits:
  - volume-quota (binding): 500000 rows and 24 columns per table [1]
  - per-object-cap: 1kb per cell [1]
- limits note: Mutating queries are onchain operations paying the chain's gas; query size is limited to 35kb (14.5kb on Ethereum mainnet).
- binding note: about 12 GB of cell data per table at most, far below 500 GB.
- tooling: not recorded
- composes with: the same as tooling
- reliability: tableland.xyz and docs.tableland.xyz redirect (HTTP 302) to the Recall Labs wind-down notice of 2026-10-30 on 2026-11-03; the notice names the Recall Network, not Tableland, so the service status is unverified.
- notes: 500k rows / 24 columns per table. Their own docs tell you to put large media on IPFS and store the CID. A pointer store cannot hold 500 GB.
- evidence note: re-read on 2026-11-03: the vendor docs limits page https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tablelandnetwork/docs/main/docs/fundamentals/limits.md (row, column and cell limits, unauthenticated REST reads, not a file storage solution) and the Recall Labs wind-down post on x.com (RecallLabs_) that tableland.xyz and docs.tableland.xyz redirect to; identity and service status are unverified
