So we have many communities and everyone gets free *nix shell access, you can ssh into the remote server (mostly ubuntu) and do whatever you want! I mostly go there to talk with other users.
It is all old school, we use the command line and there is no gui that you can work with. You have to use the cli for everything you do (easy to learn).
You can -
- learn programming
- make webpages
- make new friends
- play games
- learn more about *nix
and much more.
See https://tildeverse.org to get started. (https://tilde.team/wiki/?page=other-tildes for more tilde servers)
I'll suggest you to join ctrl-c.club or tilde.town and then try other servers. You can make account everywhere ofc. I am ~cyaniventer on tildeverse, see ctrl-c.club/~cyaniventer
Edit: Not related to tildes.net

I have an amazon server that I use to host my email and my simple website. I'm considering setting a vpn up on it, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. Would my data be as secure as with 3rd party vpns? Would Amazon see my traffic? It seems like if I go this route, anything that I do could be traced back to me, because the see the ip of my server and than ask amazon who owns it.
