Consider: #Guix / #Nix shared hosting where the cost of storing a store item is shared between the users that depend on it.
Maybe with the new Shepherd on Goblins integration a shared guix-daemon could work.

I'm as intrigued by as I was by , but ultimately I'm not sure the complexity is worth it for me.

Even has a ratio of complexity vs. benefits that fits well with my work (and play) flow.

, and all hide enough of the nitty gritty behind the scenes — updates happen without me needing to know it.

And traditional is so familiar and reliable, it's hard not to tap it for just about any use case.

@solene, are you looking into Guix?

I can now access the services of Guix machines in the local network using simple names like <host>.local instead of IP addresses.

To get this functionality:

❶ Open your OS configuration file
❷ Import (gnu packages nss)
❸ Set the operating-system's "name-service-switch" field as follows

(name-service-switch %mdns-host-lookup-nss)

❹ Reconfigure the OS

sudo guix system reconfigure path/to/your/os-config.scm

After almost two days of work I managed to update PrusaSlicer to the latest (at the moment) version 2.7.4 in GNU Guix. Here's the patchset:

Looking for some Friday reading? How about the next step in the tutorial? Overview of the build-system concept, and how to provide arguments. We meet the repl (guix repl) to discuss when to use 'quote' and 'quasiquote' in package definitions.

Oof, guix doesn't seem play nice with foreign distros, even stable ones like Debian. The guix system distro is out of the question because of my WiFi drivers and until nonguix is more mature there really isn't a good alternative for me.

I don't love it but I'll probably have to hop back over to nixos and see how the community changes play out. Good thing it takes like 2 minutes to get my old config back. Still, nix has made it tough to use anything else.

@abmurrow
When you run a bash script, it is not run with same system environment that you have, instead it creates a subshell. For this reason, most probably you didn't have the profile there at all. One way to bypass that is to use source script.sh instead of bash script.sh to run the content of the script in the current bash.

The way I use guix is to have certain tools and containers in guix on a rolling release distro like Arch or Manjaro as the host.

Hey @daviwil! I'm taking the plunge! Thanks for building these guides: they're exceptionally well done.

We released Arei Guile IDE 0.9.4. It's already available in Guix.
https://git.sr.ht/~abcdw/emacs-arei/refs/0.9.4
https://git.sr.ht/~abcdw/guile-ares-rs/refs/0.9.4

It has eldoc and xref (go to definition) features, better completion and a few other improvements.

Big kudos to @krevedkokun for implementing them.

We are working hard towards 1.0, which will be even more exciting:

Every time I'm working with a , I get amazed by how powerful they can get and how much they have advanced the software development realm. Tons and tons of checks and builds and etc. can be done automatically upon merging a pull request.

I wholeheartedly thank everyone how have invested the time and effort to write and maintain all these pipelines.

These said, I'm really interested to see if any active and high-profile project is using or in CI instead of these NodeJS-based ones.

Well I ran out of battery halfway through the hand install, so several hours of recovery later I can boot into fsvo. Where are all my other bootable partitions though, and will I be able to tolerate long enough to learn to live with it? These are the questions. Stay tuned, rat-fans.

Facebook today tracks a staggering 3 billion people around the world. It spreads deadly disinformation at a scale never seen before. And it's essentially ruled by just one man.

What started as Mark Zuckerberg's student website in 2004, has morphed into one of the world's most dangerous corporations.

So this may sound naive ... but we could help fight Facebook simply by saying "STOP"!
