+			<h1>FAQ</h1>
+
+			<p class="q">How do I change my interactive shell?</p>
+			<p>Once you've logged in, check the path for your desired shell with</p>
+			<div class="code">$ which fish</div>
+			<p>Replacing <code>fish</code> with the the shell you want. In this case, the path will be
+				<code>/usr/local/bin/fish</code>
+				Now, run:</p>
+			<div class="code">$ EDITOR=nano chsh</div>
+			<p>Change the <code>Shell</code> line to read:</p>
+			<div class="code">Shell: /usr/local/bin/fish</div>
+			<p>Save and exit. You'll need to log out then back in.</p>
+
+			<p class="q">How do I change the index page of my site?</p>
+			<p>Because of the way <code>httpd(8)</code> is set up, you'll need to ask in <code>#institute</code> or send
+				an email to <code>admins@tilde.institute</code></p>
+
+			<p class="q">Can you install this package for me?</p>
+			<p>As long as it's in the OpenBSD ports tree, and doesn't facilitate any potentially malicious behavior
+				(like <code>nmap</code>),
+				then it's probably not a big deal. Either hop on IRC and ask in <code>#institute</code> or send an email
+				to <code>admins@tilde.institute</code></p>
+
+			<p class="q">How do I authenticate with SMTP remotely?</p>
+			<p>Only local access to SMTP is allowed. However, you can use an SSH tunnel on your machine to send mail.
+			</p>
+			<div class="code">ssh -nNTL 25:localhost:25 tilde.institute</div>
+			<p>You won't need to supply a username or password when sending mail via <code>localhost:25</code> this way,
+				since you're already authenticated via SSH.</p>
+
+			<p class="q">Can you whitelist a port for me in the firewall?</p>
+			<p>Sorry, but this presents too much of a security risk on a public-access system.</p>
+
+			<p class="q">Are user services allowed?</p>
+			<p>Generally, yes. If you're running something that's using a ton of resources or in some way affecting
+				other users or the general use of the system,
+				then we'll kill it. Just be aware of what you're running and how it may affect the system and other
+				users.</p>
+
+			<p class="q">Are IRC bots allowed?</p>
+			<p>Yes, though there are restrictions on their use on the <code>tilde.chat</code> IRC network. They should
+				not reside in <code>#meta</code>, instead keep
+				them in a private channel or in <code>#bots</code>. Bots must also conform to the <a
+					href="https://tildegit.org/tildeverse/rfcs/src/branch/master/rfcs/rfc2.md">bot guidelines listed
+					here</a>.</p>
+			<p>Don't run <code>eggdrop</code> from tilde.institute. There are legitimate uses for <code>eggdrop</code>,
+				but separating the people with some kind
+				of legitimate use from malicious users is tiring. So, no <code>eggdrop</code>.</p>
