<bjc>how do you do that manually? <bjc>i thought it was on by default, but /proc/cpuinfo says otherwise <gnucode>yeah uname -a tells me I am using the UP kernel. <gnucode>apparently apt install debian-smp-gnumach package doesn't auto switch to that kernel. <gnucode>which probably makes sense. if you run /sbin/smp program , you can get crashed on the smp kernel. <etno>I think that the buzzword that matches subhurds the best is 'linux containers'. And given the increasing surface attack in the digital world nowadays, this seems like a more and more desirable feature. <etno>I say "surface attack" but I mean that detecting zero days and exploiting them is and will become easier <etno>Subhurds could be used as a replacement to firejail, but with a correct architecture. <etno>Regarding the question of graphical applications in subhurds: X can be rendered via a socket, and that can be shared (I am sure that one could also share an EGL window in Wayland). <etno>But I don't know if guest xauth token are still available in Xorg 🤔 Because you don't want an untrusted app to read your clipboard or do screenshots <gnucode>etno: maybe I'll mention in the subhurd wiki page that subhurds might be a better jailthan freebsd's jails. <gnucode>I still think that porting pledge to the Hurd would have a huge security improvement. <etno>> subhurds might be a better jail than freebsd's jails. <etno>I am not able to do the comparison, as I don't know freebsd enough. <gnucode>well I'm going to bed here soon. so night all. <p4r4D0xum>has anybody experianced ext2fs device flush failed in IDE mode? <diegonc>nevermind, it eventually showed the page :/ <gnucode>weird question...I'm updating my debian hurd install, and I saw that one of the packages that was being upgraded was login.defs...did something change recently ? <Alicia>gnucode: /etc/login.defs looks unchanged (saved a copy and did the update), so it must be something in the documentation
