<damo22>youpi: is rumpdisk the default in debian hurd?

<youpi>damo22: no

<gnucode>hello friends!

<gnucode>nikolar: what are you working on these days?

<nikolar>actually, at the moment, figuring out how to package tcc cross compilers for guix

<gnucode>what is the end goal of that project?

<nikolar>well to have tcc cross compilers as easily as gcc on guix

<nikolar>if not easier because building tcc is basically instantenous compare to gcc

<Arsen>but building anything else becomes significantly harder :p

<nikolar>i mean true, but tcc is cool on it's own

<nikolar>and i like to support it when i write my own code

<gnucode>that is a worthwhile goal.

<gnucode>nikolar: what do you think about zig's ability to cross compile code on the fly?

<nikolar>what do you mean by 'on the fly'

<nikolar>gnucode: ^

<gnucode>oh zig can compile C code and have it run on windows and such

<gnucode>i am probably not using the technical terms to explain it properly

<gnucode>but it is very easy with Zig to compile C code for various different artechetures

<nikolar>well i guess they wrote a lot of code so you wouldn't have to

<nikolar>but i am not very familiar with zig so can't really comment

<gnucode>nikolar: I got netsurf to compile on the Hurd! I did it the lazy way be defining PATH_MAX. :)

<nikolar>as long as it works right ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

<ThinkT510>a lot has changed in zig since that post. they are on 0.11 now

<gnucode>nikolar: so far it is working well.

<gnucode>This T43 could pretty much be my daily driver. I would like to have something like dino working well.

<nikolar>what's dino

<gnucode>an xmpp client

<gnucode>I use JMP.chat

<nikolar>never really got into xmpp

<gnucode>I like supporting JMP.chat. it is a free cell phone # provider
