I'm 4 hours into doing a #guix pull... its crashed multiple times I think either from out of memory or gnome going to sleep mid pull, along with all the debugging I had to do because I had some incompatible channel settings... after rebooting and killing X I think this time it'll work. then once the pull is over I can reconfigure the OS... all this is on a Chromebook like Celeron from 2018 with 4GB of RAM. Hopefully the reconfigure works and I can get some zram on here.

#guixgoteam is working slowly on bringing GitHub CLI to #Guix

If anyone would like to review #Golang packages you may volunteer yourself to review 210+ items chain bringing #TailScale on board ;-)

Woohoo, the "sops" (Secrets OPerationS, getsops.io) package is being upstreamed into #Guix, thanks fishinthecalculator! https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/7671

I remembered @stefano@bsd.cafe wrote a really nice short article on how he did with nginx:

https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/01/29/improving-snac-performance-with-nginx-proxy-cache/

Definitely an improvement! Even more convenient to set up with Guix deploy.

Hey #Guix people! If you haven’t done so already, check out the proposed update of the deprecation policy by @andreas and @sharlatan 👇
https://codeberg.org/guix/guix-consensus-documents/pulls/12

How changes in Guix proper are handled has a huge impact on whether/when/how your code (config, manifests, channels, etc.) might break.

Make your voice heard!

Ive discovered that the timeline for my older son to do a report about a kind of science project where he hasn't even done the experiments yet is the week after we get back from next weeks spring break. My #guix peeps, what is the absolute lowest fuss way for me to get working #Quarto on his guix system laptop?

This new cache-test server uses mirror-substitutes (and store paths from guix-store-paths) to mirror substitutes from any upstream.

If everything goes well, I'll deprecate existing setup on guix.moe mirrors and deploy the new configuration. Feedback welcome!

As far as I know, all the deps needed for recent river already merged in #guix, so I hope 0.4 branch of river will be packaged soon.

@tclaesson
Share the repo with your progress ;)

Updated "simpleini" package in GNU Guix:

@radicle

I have been meaning to take a look at #Radicle the peer-to-peer code hosting local-first git-based platform for quite some time...

I just could not get over the "curl | sh" installation method... or using a language specific package manager...

I know the world barely works this way anymore, but I still prefer to download packaged software from a trusted distro...

...yesterday I noticed that #Guix has radicle packaged!

Finally, I will get to explore this really cool project!!!

Watching the activity log of guix-cuirass-bot is interesting:

It makes ~20 comments per day.

Guix fixed most of the vectors of supply chain attack, before supply chain attacks became a mainstream :)

#guix

let's try #guix system for a week (in a VM, for now) and see if it's something that I can use (@guix)

God blessed me!

For a long time I've had a problem with #emacs in #guix running it as daemon.

Entrypoint to code, system, notes, and everything else shuts itself down every ~ 1-2 hours and it was SO ANNOYING.

Few days ago I've bumped my system from ~ 3.5 months old to the latest and viola! It holds > 12 hours already.

What a blessing!

Last year, two cooperatives were founded in the Guix community:

* <https://guixotic.coop>
* <https://reasonable-sourcery.coop>

What you need is: At least one partner and preferably a client or project to get going.

Reasonable Sourcery uses sociocracy as its governing structure (Deed of incooperation in Dutch: <https://reasonable-sourcery.coop/statuten.html>).

💡 Did you know? There’s an API to get data about builds etc. from Cuirass 👇

If after recent system update you are out of sound. You may need sof-firmware package.

#guix

With a bit of sorcery #Restic has been updated in #Guix 0.9.6 -> 0.17.3

#guixgoteam

I wanted minimalistic (binaries only) #guix #ai channel for a long time and could not find one.

Agent were mostly parts of someone's huge channel or system configuration. So I took https://codeberg.org/daym/guix-ai-cloud and forked it.

Current packages:
- claude-code
- codex
- opencode + emacs-opencode
- editor code assistant (eca) + emacs-editor-code-assistant

You spelled "can't let META go" wrong.

I've been running GNU Guix exclusively since 2016 and it has a system service to conveniently block any META servers at the DNS level.

#GNU #Guix #meta

@tusharhero
See block-facebook-hosts-service-type
in https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Networking-Services.html

Just add

(service block-facebook-hosts-service-type)

to the list of services in your operating system description.

Kudos to @hako for a #guix build farm+mirror. It has a plenty of substitutes and works fast.
