<gnucode>Someday soon, we'll have our own Hurd minecraft server. That would be super cool! <gnucode>oh! We could encourage developers to contribute that way...if you get a commit into the Hurd source code, then you may game with us on our private server. :) <nexussfan>I haven't commited to hurd source code, but I've ported plenty of things to hurd.. <gnucode>I'd consider porting work as Hurd contributer material. :) <gnucode>also I haven't done any code work for the Hurd either. I've tried. None of the C stuff makes sense to me anytime I've tried. So I do documentation stuff and the qoth. <nexussfan>Java support is extremely bad on hurd however <gnucode>I feel like Java is not the greatest open source language. :( <gnucode>well I'm working on Q1 of 2026. The latest guix blog post might have covered some of the news items, but that's ok. <jab>oh apparently I already have a salsa git account...so I should be able to clone this sucker and push directly...I'll get samuel's permission before I do so. <nexussfan>while you're at it you can also fix up the build-deps for mesa <azeem>jab: you probably can't push directly, but can open a pull request <jab>most likely. :( by the way, can you send some pictures of any cool games/applications that you have ported to the Hurd ? I'd like to include some cool pictures on the next qoth. <jab>You could just email 'em to bug hurd. <nexussfan>not sure if samuel would care much about games on hurd <nexussfan>I'm looking for other games i can port however <jab>I personally would like to hear about it. We should promote people that are porting software to the Hurd. We need more porters. :) <nexussfan>Yeah, currently porting is more important than working on the actual hurd imo <jab>and an easy way to find out samuel's opinion is to send a quick email to bug-hurd@gnu.org. :) I'm sure he'd be ok with it. Or perhaps he would request that we link to your blog post or email about it. <jab>sounds good. we'll see what our fearless leader says. <jab>this is a bit odd for me... <jab>following this web page: <jab>I uploaded my ssh key, and I'm trying to clone the repo... <jab> git clone git@salsa.debian.org:webmaster-team/webwml.git <jab>I now see a directory webwml...but it's empty. and I had to C-c the clone command. it never indicated that it finished or did anything, other than create an empty directory. Those there is a .git directory. <jab>ssh -T git@salsa.debian.org -> Welcome to Gitlab, @gnucode <jab>so I guess it sort of works... idk <jab>I'll just https clone for now. <jab>Just as soon as I set one up! <jab>nexussfan: I do have a guix-hosting.com account. I could set you up with a child hurd if you like. <jab>no idea how fast it would be. <jab>I'd happily let you try it for free. I haven't touched that server since I bought it. And the performance is probably pretty bad. but I don't know. <nexussfan>My current server is only 10GB storage + 1GB ram + 1core so <jab>ok, feel free to send me your ssh key. <jab>i believe that irc supports private messages if you like to sent it privately. <jab>nexussfan: do you plan to run a website ? gaming server ? <jab>fyi, guix only has 200 packages built for the Hurd... <jab>so you may be compiling a ton of packages from source. :( <jab>do you still want access ? <gnucode>guix is actually really nice! I would still use it today, but Theo has me convinced that OpenBSD is the mother of all secure operating systems. I'm hoping that I can apply some of OpenBSD's security policies onto the Hurd. <nexussfan>Yeah, I know guix is good for mass deployments because of it's reproducable configs <nexussfan>You don't need stuff like docker compose on guix <jab>well I may have deleted the credentials to log into my guix-hosting server... <jab>I'll probably have to email the guy in charge. <jab>actually .ssh_authorized users may have it... <jab>actually knows_hosts ... maybe <jab>authorized_keys is empty <jab>yup I have to email the guy again... <nexussfan>I'm surprised it doesn't come with serial console in case ssh is not working <jab>I'm sure that it does have something like that. I just deleted all of my inbox yesterday...the info was probably there. <yang>Hello, I am trying the installation on a HP laptop <yang>I have chosen the netinstall image <yang>it goes into installer, but then after keymap selection I get dropped onto the screen which says 1-installer, 2-shell, 3-shell, 4-log....and its trying to re-read the CD-ROM, but doesn't get any further?
