<gnucode>The Hurd feels more stable today. That's kind of nice. <gnucode>3 emacs frames, several netsurf tabs, two terminals, not too shabby on 1.5GB of RAM. <gnucode>hmmm, I have some hurd manual contributions that I want to add, but I can't get magit to work on the Hurd at the moment...grrrr. <apteryx>gnucode: what's preventing Magit from working on The Hurd? <gnucode>apteryx: try to run "apt install elpa-magit" <gnucode>It looks like the installation works, but then trying to run magit, gives a weird emacs error. <gnucode>I think the problem is elpa-git-commit <gnucode>apteryx: does guix run on debian GNU/Hurd? <apteryx>I've never tried, but it should, in theory? <apteryx>it at least runs in the Guix System GNU/Hurd VMs <gnucode>apteryx: I personally find that running the Hurd is the most stable using Debian GNU/Hurd on real hardware. <gnucode>Everytime I have tried to run in qemu, I can't figure out how to fix the filesystem corruption issues. <nikolar>when i ran guix hurd in a vm, i often get weird slowdowns after ctrl-cing commands for example <nikolar>like the whole vm just slows to a crawl <gnucode>nikolar: Honestly using Debian GNU/Hurd on the T43, has been pretty awesome! I think I am averaging at least once a week I have to hard shutdown the machine, and deal with minor filesystem corruption. <gnucode>but otherwise, i3, emacs, and netsurf is pretty stable <nikolar>well filesystem corruption isn't really something you can ignore <gnucode>nikolar: I agree. But so far it doesn't seem to have affected anything... <nikolar>well it's always the part you can't tell :) <gnucode>maybe we should try to fix the libdiskfs lockups? Those are probably the problem stuff...? <nikolar>well i'd love to learn more so i can contribute but i am pretty busy at the momen
