~vern is a queer-run non-commercial tilde and collection of web (and non-web) services. This means we are a community open for sharing, engaging, participating and creating free (as in freedom) software for everyone, without exceptions.
~vern also has a pubnix, that is, a public-access *NIX server for our members, that runs Guix System for improved freedom.
All our servers run free GNU/Linux distributions.

Sat, 21 Mar 2026 14:53:07 +0000 - New anti-AI rule
~vern now officially forbids the use of any "Artificial Intelligence" technology by our members via our services. You do not want me to catch you lacking.
You can join our community on most major free software chat programs:
We make use of bridging so you can chat with us regardless of what chat program you use
You can get access to more services by signing up via the registration form.
With the exception of clearnet Minetest & services hosted on Iceberg and Typhoon, none of the services we host have the capability to log IP addresses due to our firewall rules. IP logging on Iceberg is disabled.
We also host Tor and I2P versions of most of these services.
