Had a great time hanging out with @dthompson and @efraim at LibrePlanet today. Also met a few fellow Emacs and Guix users!

Now it's time to let the jetlag take over.

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

If you haven't signed up for the Spring Lisp Game Jam yet, you should strongly consider it!

This is a great way to have fun experimenting with a Lisp language of your choice while 71+ of your colleagues do the same!

@dthompson really wants to get 100 registered participants this time to break the previous record, so join in if you want to have some fun!

Check out the official jam page for details, registration instructions, and a discussion area:

All the people disappointed with NixOS right now should consider putting their energy into Guix instead.

I would describe The Guix project as "allergic to corporate entanglement."

@crmsnbleyd that would be an unfortunate misconception!

@pgronkievitz the sources of non free software like the Nonguix channel have their own comms channels where those kinds of questions can be asked. It's not perfect, but it's workable

@mrak0 @anarres @pgronkievitz maybe you are referring to the GNU Assembly:

https://gnu.tools/

I don't believe it's active at the moment, but it's an interesting idea.

@alxlg entanglement would be taking money directly thereby being influenced

That a seasoned sysadmin takes 3 hours to install 2 times on a despite following the official Manual Installation instructions is all that is wrong about now.

I love @daviwil work and I do want to use and but life is just too short.

@mrak0 @098bfa86b83e88e6164c52db13acbf@mostr.pub the problem was that initial pull took a long time plus I had to start the whole process over because the manual has new instructions that lead to an unbootable system if you create and install to an encrypted LUKS2 volume

daviwil,
@daviwil@fosstodon.org avatar

@mrak0 @098bfa86b83e88e6164c52db13acbf@mostr.pub the non-devel manual still shows steps to create a LUKS2 volume despite the warning:

https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/en/guix.html#Disk-Partitioning

Only the devel manual has been changed back to the old steps

Sad to see the #Nix Foundation drive out (or at least fail to retain) one of the top project contributors. Keeping excellent people engaged in a healthy, supportive OSS community is more key to long-term success than having events sponsored by any particular organisation IMO. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/306702

After only one day of fun, this elfeed issues makes it completely
unusable for me https://github.com/skeeto/elfeed/issues/509

Basically the elfeed db gets corrupted after every usage.

How unfortunate as I really liked it.

@al3x Check out Newsticker, it's included with Emacs

What "Clownshoes semantics" means?

I was tracing the issue and stumbled upon this phrase in the comment in Guile source code, I'm really puzzled.

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guile.git/tree/module/ice-9/suspendable-ports.scm?h=0e9ccaf47#n742

@abcdw I think "clown shoes" is another way to say "ridiculous" or "silly"

This may be the first time I've listened to @amadeus's album "2" all the way to the end. It's 2 and a half hours long!

Amazingly, the songs get better as the album goes on.

Check it out:

🎬 watched Pass Thru (2016)

4th Breen movie, and we're back to DVD quality, because sure.

Probably the hardest to follow - despite having the least amount of abstract experimental content of all the post Double Down (2005) Breen movies - but I enjoyed it a lot more than Fateful Findings (2013). It's basically just I Am Here... Now (2009) again, but swap "god but alien but god" with "AI but actually Doctor Manhattan".

@MenacingMecha the creator of that cover really said "graphic design is my passion"

@eniko sat outside for an hour and ended up with a headache!

@phundrak there's a ton of dust blowing around out there and it also smells like smoke, so it might be a combo
