I'm missing something on debian for running urbit, anyone know how to ensure musl is working for urbit on debian?

@jeru I tried to get on urbit a few months ago... didn't want to buy the token you need to get on at that time so I just forgot about it.

@bajax I could buy you one next month, remind me

@jeru that'd be cool-- are they at all expensive? it's more about not wanting to deal with bank stuff than the money

@bajax @jeru i have a spare planet you can have if you want it, or @sun can gift you one off his star, or you can mine a comet as a temp identity to check out the network, the nft's aspect of it is close to dead

@i @sun @jeru I really just want to see what it's all about. everything I read about it gives little ideas but I'm not getting a big picture about what it all actually does. that would be neat, I'll go ahead and get my system ready for it. having to do a bunch of custom stuff lol

@bajax @sun @jeru you can also just buy a L2 star with fiat from someone like https://store.pocwet.com/p/patlev-bonmex/ for 8 bucks

i bought mine when the bridge came out the same way

@i @sun @jeru you always do this. why are you linking me to one specific one and recommending I use it?

@bajax @sun @jeru that's how urbit works, people come to peer together, that one has a nice name/logo

@i @sun @jeru augh can't get my credit cart number generator working right now. I'll have to mess with it later

@bajax @sun @jeru there's always the option to run a 128 bit name https://docs.urbit.org/get-on-urbit#mine-a-comet instead of a 32 bit name if you don't mind waiting a few minutes

@i @sun @jeru my patience has run out, I'll mess with it again later. it sounds interesting I just have no real idea what it is, the descriptions I'm getting sound contradictory in places.

@bajax @sun @jeru at best it's a chat room, at worst it's a smalltalk

@i @sun @jeru lol the programming language?

@bajax @sun @jeru both in that it's a runtime that loads an image and runs the entire userspace off that, and that all urbit has managed to get people to do is talk small

@i @bajax @jeru I vibe coded something better than they made

@sun @i @jeru thanks for the planet moon, but the urbit runtime says the key I got from bridge for it isn't valid for the planet name you gave me. tried on two different systems, just downloaded their binary directly. no idea what could be wrong.

@sun @i @jeru (if jeru or i has any idea lol)

@i @jeru @sun just did a factory reset on my keys-- only NOW do I get a notification that new keys take "minutes to hours" to propagate across the netowrk, otherwise you get exactly the error I'm getting roflmao

@bajax @i @sun yeah .. best of luck, Ic'm stuck behind urbit looking for musl and erroring

@jeru @bajax @i back to where I was literally every couple of years "how does anybody use this shit"

@sun @i @jeru it's clearly very experimental and dev-focused right now. like the canonical instructions recommending screen to get a persistent daemon running etc is kind of weird for something they expect people to actually use day-to-day

@bajax @sun @jeru and also a phone app someone else manages if you look at tlon.io

urbit is whatever the fiduciary duty to satisfy investor boards leads it

@i @bajax @jeru I actually have one of their native urbit machines, like serial number 15 or something lol and it never worked right

@sun @bajax @jeru it's native in that it's got a logo on the metal case hiding the cheapest chink mobo they could put a fat margin on, https://github.com/Native-Planet/GroundSeg is still getting upgrades and would have worked just fine with a new release flashed to disk, instead of hoping your paper weight still works after the OTA's break format years later
