📢 «A security issue has been identified in guix-daemon which allows for fixed-output derivations, such as source code tarballs or Git checkouts, to be corrupted by an unprivileged user. This could also lead to local privilege escalation.»
I had to share this neat trick. I like playing #openttd and since I heard of the JGR patchset, I wanted to try it. Not packaged in #guix, but you can still get it (relatively) easily:
the official #blender livestream thats works through the project NEWS is pretty amazing. someone in the #guix community should consider following suit.
Is there a libre #speech recognition system for GNU #Linux — best available in #Guix — that works out of the box?
I’d like to try some voice integration for my programming (shifting some commands to voice commands like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SkdfdXWYaI ) but I’m at a loss with the systems I found in Wikipedia.
@ArneBab , did you tried ibus-speech-to-text on the Guix System. I found it very nice and easy to use. You can add your own voice commands. And I enjoyed using it (it forces you to improve your diction).
It uses VOSK and Kaldi internally.
I tried it for a while, but the problem in Guix System is that ibus engine loading breaks often after system upgrade. And the known workarounds don't always work.
Sometimes is caches, sometimes is Python load paths.
Mazo 1.1.0 is publicly available now. It is a learning application that helps you memorize simple concepts using multimedia flash cards and spaced reviews.
This version doesn't come with new functionality but upgrades the graphical components to GTK 4.
You can install it on any GNU/Linux device using the GNU Guix package manager.
I recently worked with SWWS (https://softwareworkers.it/) developing a minimalist CSS theme for their websites.
I think this is the first time I get to work a paid job using libre tools (GNU Guix and its packages) and be able to release the resulting work as a libre cultural work. It feels great 🙂
