loggin in

to your email

add an account in your email client and punch in these details:

your username is your username (i.e., your email address without the @pronounmail.com) and your password is. uh. your password.

to the shell

your account comes with access to a secure shell, as well as a folder within that gets served over the world wide web.

to get started, you need to crack open a shell session on your computer. the way you do this depends on how your computer is:

windows

open Windows PowerShell (windows 10) or Windows Terminal (windows 11).

mac os

open Terminal from the finder (or launchpad (or spotlight)).

lin icks

open Console (GNOME (sometimes)), Konsole (KDE) or Terminal (mostly everything else).

after you've done that, enter ssh <username>@pronounmail.com in the window that appears.

when you connect for the first time, you'll be asked whether you trust the server's fingerprint; if it matches SHA256:cptixC1TZsYtxp/ExVY/A8aYSqEi2twY83xX42Nw2pc, you can say yes.

type in your password when prompted, and you should be presented with something like this:

Linux ttc.gay 6.1.0-20-cloud-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.85-1 
(2024-04-11) x86_64
PRONOUNMAIL DOT COM: THE ONLY WEB HOST

this is your shell!! you can type commands at the prompt and the computer will do the things you tell it to. try typing ls and hitting enter to list all the files in your home folder.

change your password thanks

when your account is first created, you'll be given a temporary password to use. please please please change it as soon as you possibly can.

you can do this by typing passwd at the shell prompt and doing what it says.
