Great! 🥳
Thanks for the blog post and to everyone that worked so hard to make it happen! 
👍

So, I couldn’t help but try it right away with the default snippet and, 
unfortunately,
I couldn’t log into the ChildHurd! 😞

The command `ssh root@localhost:10022` doesn’t work for me, I had to do
`ssh root@localhost -p 10022`, but then I’m asked for root’s password?!
Is this supposed to happen? 🤔

Anyway, thanks for working on the Hurd!
