<jab>would someone mind sending me a tarbar of the hurd wiki rendered html ?
<jab>"guix shell" inside the hurd wiki is currently broke.
<jab>I can't seem to install ikiwiki at the moment.
<jab>I would love to host an alternative and up to date wiki at gnu-hurd.com/wiki and/or wiki.gnu-hurd.com
<jab>p4r4D0xum: can you send me a link to the acer predator laptop that I could buy? Did you buy it used ? Have you got X working yet?
<jab>sneek: later tell nexussfan I daily drove the Hurd on a T43 with 1.5 GiB. https://gnucode.org/the-hurd-on-bare-metal.html I sold it recently, I'm a working on dailying driving my librebooted T400, but I am having trouble installing Debian GNU/Hurd on a T400 and T510.
<sneek>Okay.
<jab>sneek: later tell danielhejduk I just started selling Debian GNU/Hurd laptops. I would recommend buying a T500, T400, or T510. I could sell you one for $400. 250 - 500 GB SSD, 8GB max ram. You should be able to run the 64 bit version of the Hurd on it inside 6 months. *fingers crossed*
<sneek>Got it.
<jab>sneek: later tell danielhejduk https://gnucode.org/the-hurd-on-bare-metal.html You can email me at jbranso AT dismail DOT de
<sneek>Will do.
<jab>Noisytoot: There has not been much development on Hurd alpine. No. solid_black knows the most about it. If you search through the bug-hurd archives you'll find sergey's email address.
<yang>hello jab Did you write the page about the HURD-hardware compatibility with laptops?
<jab>yang yes.
<jab>alma almamood...I forget that person's irc nick...
<jab>That person knows more about what hardware the hurd supports.
<yang>jab: ok
<yang>jab: so the 64bit hurd is not (yet) ready, it's planned to be after at least 6 months?
<yang>I guess it's possible to run the 32-bit hurd on a 64bit machine like T500/T400/T510 ?
<jab> yang: better than that!
<jab>You can run the 64 bit hurd on in qemu. It's just about as stable as the 32 version.
<jab>I THINK this just happened...
<jab>I think that someone is running the Hurd on real hardware with actual internet.
<jab>So if you want to live on the bleeding edge (like I do), you should be able to run the 64 bit hurd on real hardware now. But I think there's only 1 or 2 known hurd 64 bit machines running on real hardware.
<jab>if you search bug-hurd (the last 2 - 4 weeks) you'll should be able to find the person talking about it. damo22 wants to run the 64 bit hurd in real hardware, but I don't think he's done it yet...
<Gooberpatrol66>almuhs
<jab>thanks Gooberpatrol66 !
<yang3>jab ok
<yang3>Would hurd run also inside a LinuxContainer LXC ?
<youpi>no
