<sneek>Welcome back almuhs, you have 1 message!

<sneek>almuhs, youpi says: https://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/hurd/debugging/translator/

<almuhs>where is defined file_name_lookup() ? I only find extern declarations

<youpi>sneek: later tell almuhs file_name_lookup is the client part of looking up a file, it's inside glibc, hurd/hurdlookup.c

<sneek>Got it.

<azert>Im experimenting with the 64bit port and virtualbox

<azert>I can consistently get failed assertions for DMA alignment in rumpdisk

<azert>which could be interesting considering the bugs we have with memory wiring and dma

<azert>how would you go on debugging that?

<azert>Is it possible to print all the allocations to the console and compare the failed assertions with the misallocations?

<tux0r>gnucode: just idling for now... sorry for digressing, somewhat :)

<gnucode>no worries.

<Franciman>AHOI

<gnucode>I certainly let the topic go haywire. :)

<gnucode>howdy!

<Franciman>do you use debian/hurd?

<tux0r>ah, i like haywires. sometimes.

<gnucode>have ya'll tried pianobar in Emacs? It's super awesome

<gnucode>I do use debian/Hurd in real hardware. I perfer it in real hardware. I use i3, emacs, and the netsurf web browser.

<gnucode>and dino-im works too!

<nikolar>does guix hurd work :P

<gnucode>nikolar: yes. There's one guix developer "janke" I think. that uses it.

<gnucode>I don't know if it has internet access.

<nikolar>i don't see why it wouldn't, if the debian hurd does

<gnucode> https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2024/hurd-on-thinkpad/

<gnucode>well guix hurd is somewhat behind packaging what debian hurd has packaged.

<tux0r>yet, i hope

<gnucode>debian hurd has maybe 70% of the debian archive packaged.

<gnucode>and their 64-bit port is progressing nicely. I don't know anyone trying to run the 64 bit port on real hardware yet...but I am very much so wanting to try!

<gnucode>the 64 bit port had some issues with using SSDs and swaping, but there's someone working on fixing that issue. *fingers crossed*

<nikolar>well, we'll see

<tux0r>i would totally buy an ancient thinkpad for that.

<gnucode>I would recommend the T60 at least. My T43 is cool, but it's not a SATA hard drive.

<gnucode>and the T43 has a max 4 GB of RAM.

<gnucode>Honestly the T400 is probably fairly decent option in terms of price. You can still use libreboot, 8GB of max ram, and SSDs.

<tux0r>i had a T42 once

<tux0r>worked just well

<gnucode>The hurd does not yet support RAID. :(

<tux0r>for openbsd though.

<gnucode>OpenBSD is pretty fantastic! I am pretty impressed with it's code quality. I know, I haven't read it myself. I just read what other people tell me about it.

<tux0r>most of my servers run openbsd. because it has almost everything already OOTB, including mail and web services

<tux0r>no desktop, currently

<gnucode>OOTB ?

<tux0r>out of the box

<tux0r>for mail, i only added dovecot. for web, i added nothing. charming!

<gnucode>that's pretty awesome. I'm hoping to set up OpenBSD for me web/email server soon!

<gnucode>I'm going to be heading out here soon. It was nice chatting to you all. I hang out in #guix, #openbsd, #emacs, and #hurd a lot. Feel free to dm me if you ever want to chat direct to me via XMPP

<tux0r>good night, gnucode! if you have any questions about openbsd, i'm... in some channels! :D

<gnucode>sounds good!

<damo22>i think you can use storeio to make a kind of raid but not compatible with block raid from linux

<damo22>i think*

<youpi>I guess he meant a sata host in raid mode
