+Sorry it's been a while since I last wrote something, but I want to share
+something I've been building!
+
+I've been building a invite-only, shared, distributed NixOS system called
+wolfgirl.systems.
+
+Users are usually more trusted as it's an invite only community, so they will
+have access to the nix daemon to install anything they want, like home-manager.
+
+We're also requesting an ASN from ARIN and I have allocated a chunk of IPv6
+space to the network, so users can spin up something like bird and experimenting
+with announcing IPv6 space via our ASN, and it'd be routable from the world, as
+most of our locations support BGP transit.
+
+Users are also allowed to host their own websites, currently we're just pointing
+/~username to a dir in their home directory, but in the future we plan on
+supporting cgi-bins and forwarding http sockets.
+
+In the future, I also plan on mounting a shared disk to all the machines, so
+users will have access to a shared storage space across all of our machines.
+
+You can find the docs, nixos config of wolfgirl.systems
+[here](https://git.private.coffee/wolfgirls).
+
+But yeah, that's all for now. Feel free to email me for an invite.
