seen happening in the past decade. Samuel I don't think you're being negative. You're being somewhat realistic. For those of you who don't know, Samuel routinely has to respond to emails like "Why does the Hurd project suck! Do it right!" I admit that I once sent him such an email.

You may also be interested in looking at this: https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/community/weblogs/ArneBab/how-i-write-a-qoth.html It gives you a roadmap about how to regularly write about GNU/Hurd updates! It's awesome to have you aboard the team! -- Joshua Branson Sent from Emacs and Gnus

You could also check out my GNU/Hurd cheatsheet. It's got lots of ideas on the wiki that could use some updating: https://notabug.org/jbranso/cheatsheets/src/master/hurd.org#wiki -- Joshua Branson Sent from Emacs and Gnus

Re: A few questions: Libre SoC, website, Rust

I'm speculating here, but Samuel might be ok with this. I don't know how well rust support is in the Hurd. You might have to port rust to the Hurd, which is non-trivial. I think we are still working on getting Go to work on the Hurd. :) > Jan Wielkiewicz > -- Joshua Branson Sent from Emacs and Gnus

Re: [PATCH] SMP initialization: detection and enumeration OFF TOPIC PRAISE

Fair enough. I'll see if I can't try to help you in your project. Fair warning, I am a little out of my league here. Just writing plain ordinary C programs with pointers to strucks and memory management is hard for me. -- Joshua Branson Sent from Emacs and Gnus

Hey Samuel! I just want to thank you for being so diligent at maintaining and continuing to develop the GNU/Hurd. You are one of my heroes, and I love how dedicated you are to the project! Wishing you a good day, Joshua

Re: Mounting USB key

I can only assume that most Hurd developers would appreciate your work in this. Please note, that in order for your code to be merged into the Hurd properly, you would need to assign copyright to the FSF. Would you be willing to do this? -- Joshua Branson Sent from Emacs and Gnus

Re: [PATCH 1/2] pci-arbiter: Rename command line options

idea? I can't really think of any command line examples, but perhaps we could consider CSS, iptables, or nginx config files. I believe the last rule usually wins in those cases. At least I think so. > > Samuel > -- Joshua Branson Sent from Emacs and Gnus
