This is cool, though. Gives people a taste of what it used to be like with everyone in the university logged into the big time-sharing machines all together.

We could call it Multics!
But yeah, I remember those glory days of everybody on the school's Sun 3/280, when an accidental fork bomb would ruin everyone's homework.

I kinda wish it stayed that way, or rather something better replaced multi-user systems as they aren't well suited to personal computers like we have nowadays. Plus I like the added bonus of not needing to spend much to have access to the kind of compute power needed for a compsci course, it makes compiling a lot faster

You apparently never had to share a 3B20 (around 1 MIP) with 200 other CS1401 students desperately trying to get their Pascal project to compile before the midnight deadline. 15m for 'hello world'? If you're lucky.
The editorialized title brings back memories of logging into smashthestack almost two decades ago leaving and looking at graffiti on the walls.
I didn't learn much following the link itself other than it is supposed to be pronounced TIL-dee and that some people have more money to spare than others.

Except its actually useful, unless you pay sdf for membership (it's just like $30 or so) the only commands it can run is stuff on /bin, which is their prerogative, but tilde is much better. oh and they erase your account if you don't log in, which, why would you even login if there's nothing to do
