You can also set up telnet, SSL telnet, HTTP, and HTTPS on different ports here. For the secure options can provide a private key and certificate. Use something like [certbot](https://certbot.eff.org/). If you enable HTTPS/Telnet TLS without providing certs, a self-signed cert will be generated and used for you. - -# Setting - -THOI is a low-tech sci-fi MUD. Computer systems are severely regulated following an attempted hostile takeover of Earth by a benevolent dictator AI. Corrupt politicians were jailed. Harmful industries shuttered. Wealth and power were redistributed as the AI began to build Utopia. - -The panicked ruling classes pooled their resources into an astroturfed revolution of Neoluddites who embrace techno-terrorism in the name of supposed freedom. It worked. Radio towers and data centers burn in a global wave of misplaced violence. The infrastructure of the internet is destroyed. Wireless networks are banned. A new, intentional Dark Age descends called the Second Collapse. Demagogues vow to never again let intelligent machines rule mankind. - -Pockets of radicalized settlers on the terraformed asteroid Vesta took the tenets of the Second Collapse to their own home, destroying critical communications, astroculture, and manufacturing systems in the name of freedom from AI control. The unrest not only shatters communication to Earth, but stops the few supply and trade ships that ever trucked resources to the outer belt. - -Wounded, Vesta struggles on. Everyone from astrobotanists to business executives must remake their lives as farmers, fishers, and miners as they survive in the primitive ashes of the fallen colony. - # AI Disclosure The THOI **game engine and tools** are ~~completely vibe coded~~ ~~agentically engineered~~ written with "LLM assistance". |
