tebibyte.org

Software and services running on real hardware.

Computing that treats the network as part of the machine.

Tebibyte runs software and services on machines we actually own: remote workstations, public infrastructure, long‑lived game servers, and a few experiments that live directly on the wire. Nothing here runs in the cloud — although for some people, we effectively are the cloud.

tebibyte.org hosts multiple unrelated services: technical documentation, software projects, public infrastructure, and a handful of community game servers. Subdomains are independent; Mercurius, for example, is a software architecture and protocol project rather than a game service.

What runs here

Tebibyte hosts the primary nameserver for the domain, public stratum 1 and stratum 2 NTP servers, email, and even Usenet. These systems live on real hardware in a cloud‑free environment, forming the backbone for everything else on the site.

Projects

Project

Mercurius

A remote GUI system built around a simple principle: your workstation stays where it belongs, and the network brings it to you. All your files, tools, and history remain on the machine that actually matters.

In short: Mercurius extends your real computer across the wire.

Project

Onion studio

A sound‑treated music and work studio converted from a former motorbike workshop. It’s where a lot of Tebibyte work actually gets built.

What is a Tebibyte?

A tebibyte (TiB) is a binary unit of storage: 240 bytes, or 1,099,511,627,776 bytes. It’s slightly larger than a terabyte, which uses decimal units.

tebibyte.org is where some of the things that use those bytes end up living — software, services, and the machines that run them.
