## tilde.guru

- `compute/tilde-guru` | qualifies-with-caveat | evidence documented | binding write-gated | category shared shell
- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-10-22 (live) | stale on 2026-11-22
- url https://tilde.guru/
- free tier: a free FreeBSD pubnix account, about 214 users; no RAM, CPU or disk figure is published | unit: none | metered on: none | read on: 2026-10-06 | source: [1] | note: signup is curated: 'Talk to sarmonsiill about getting an account'
- per-object cap: not applicable
- retention: no idle policy documented
- egress: not published | metered: no | source: [1]
- identity: email | detail: a request to the operator; no card
- interface: rest, cli
- limits:
  - write-gated (binding): signup is curated by a person and was disabled at one point after excess use [1]
- limits note: the human gate is the constraint, not a quota
- binding note: signup is curated by a person and was disabled at one point, so the human gate binds before any quota
- interface detail: SSH on port 22
- tooling: SSH, cron, a FreeBSD userspace
- composes with: a FreeBSD shell behind a human gate
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: The port is open and the banner did not arrive, which is a slow or filtered greeting rather than a dead host. The gate is a person, and that is the fact that decides whether it is available.
- evidence note: reachability only: a probe proves the port answers, not the account gate, so the record is not `measured`
