the systems seems to work fine. Gnome is up, i can log in with my user, and
everything seems to work, except herd.
i encounter this broken state every once in a while. IRC logs also mention this
multiple times, but without many insights:
https://logs.guix.gnu.org/guix/search?query=%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fshepherd%2Fsocket
```
# herd status
error: connect: /var/run/shepherd/socket: No such file or directory
# ps afxu | grep shepherd

```
looking at shepherd's code:
```
(define (call-with-server-socket file-name proc)
"Call PROC, passing it a listening socket at FILE-NAME and deleting the
socket file at FILE-NAME upon exit of PROC. Return the values of PROC."
(let ((sock (open-server-socket file-name)))
(dynamic-wind
noop
(lambda () (proc sock))
(lambda ()
(close sock)
(catch-system-error (delete-file file-name))))))
```
maybe this is caused by some call/cc magic that causes an unwind that deletes
the file, but then continues?

“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk: Every day I walk myself into a
state of well-being and walk away from every illness; I have walked myself into
my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk
away from it.”
— Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855)
