Free tier	a free shared shell account while active; no RAM, CPU or disk figure is published unit none; metered on none; signup is by invitation or request
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not applicable
Retention	no expired-account policy is published; the 7-day auto-kick applies to the IRC channel and not the shell
Egress	ports are not opened for users
Identity	email an account request; no card
Limits	request-rate no user ports are opened; services are local-only source write-gated signup is by invitation or request source any admin may kill a process under load
Binding	request-rate no user ports are opened at all: the network policy binds and no quota is published
Interface	rest, cli SSH on port 22
Tooling	SSH, screen or tmux, crontab, a shared Debian userspace
Composes with	a shell to hold a cron job, reachable only outbound; a relay is required to serve anything
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	Reachable today and quiet. The network is the wall, not the machine: no inbound port exists, so anything served must be pulled out through a tunnel.
Evidence rung	documented reachability only: a probe proves the port answers, not the quota, so the port policy carries the documented rung and the record is not `measured`
Checked	2026-10-22 (live); stale on 2026-11-21
Parsed numbers	`$.extras.m10h_usd` price USD0.0 / month `$.extras.m24h_usd` price USD0.0 / month

Evidence (2)

date	source	what it proved
2026-10-22	probe:tilde.town:22	TCP connect succeeded in 0.56 s over IPv6 and read banner SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_10.0p2 Debian-7+deb13u4; an earlier saved run on the same day recorded 7.49 s for the same host, so the connect time is a property of the path and not of the host
2026-10-22	tilde.town/wiki/faq.html	'we don't open any ports for users to use; however, you can run simple services or cron jobs for local-only access', quoted
