<b>Help! I forgot my password and the reset password thing doesn't work!</b>

You'll be delighted to hear that there's no hard limit! Of course, you should still be courteous to the other users, so try not to use more than 4 cores and 50GB of our fast NVME storage. For RAM, 4GB should be enough for most things, and remember not to give your VMs more memory than they need. If you need to run an intensive command, prefix it with <i>nice [NUMBER]</i>, where a higher number will cause it to be less disruptive to other users. Need more of a resource, such as 500GB of HDD storage? Ask about it on <a href="https://matrix.to/#/!dRcbHQEbbDRNcYShLo:exozy.me?via=exozy.me&via=matrix.org">Matrix</a>.

<b>Why's the connection speed so slow?</b>
</p>
<p>
Blame the ISPs. The my ISP's download speed is quite fast, but its upload speed is horrendous. This translates to a low download speed for users like you. Most people have slow upload speeds too, so that makes the connection slow both ways. Not much I can do about it, sorry.

<b>The command line is behaving weirdly, commands I copied from the internet don't work, editing my <i>~/.bashrc</i> isn't working, and I can't change my shell!</b>

These issues are all consequences of using <a href="https://fishshell.com/">Fish</a> as the default shell for new users instead of the typical Bash. Although Fish is much easier to use than Bash, it's also not very compatible with Bash commands. You probably shouldn't blindly copy commands from the internet, but if you do, run <i>bash</i> first to get a Bash shell before pasting them in. If you want to run commands when starting the shell as with a <i>~/.bashrc</i>, see <a href="https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/211529">this Stack Exchange post</a>. And if you get tired of fish, just ask about changing your shell on <a href="https://matrix.to/#/!dRcbHQEbbDRNcYShLo:exozy.me?via=exozy.me&via=matrix.org">Matrix</a>.
This is all because we use <a href="https://fishshell.com/">Fish</a> as the default shell for new users since it's simpler and friendlier than the typical Bash. Unfortunately, Fish is not very compatible with Bash commands. If you're blindly copying commands from the internet (you probably shouldn't do that anyways), run <i>bash</i> first to get a Bash shell before pasting them in.
