Not only does #Guix10Years have a great program, it also has great kakemonos designed by the awesome @luis_felipe.

Design available here 👉 git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix

Believe it or not, there are #Guile bindings for #OCaml​¹:

I don’t want to know what happens with garbage collection.

¹Just packaged by @pukkamustard for Guix!

We’re just two weeks to the #GNU #Guix 🎂 event in Paris, woohoo!!

If you’re into #FreeSoftware or #research, it’s still time to register and join the fun!

“It wasn’t for nothing”

Inspiring & humbling article by fellow hacker Marius Bakke on what #Guix hacking means to them.

A good illustration of #FreeSoftware being not just about software.

@mray I don’t think there’s any such thing as a “GUI user”. A “non-coding” person can use the CLI, too; I encourage you to give it a try.

GUIs have lots of qualities—they help discover features and get started quickly. But here the project is also about helping users emancipate and become autonomous; GUIs all too often work against that.

We’re a bit more than one month away from the #Guix 🎂 conference in Paris!

I’m already excited about the program and I hope many folks will join, be they of the #research type, #FreeSoftware enthusiasts, or die-hard Guix hackers. Check it out!

Tom Lord passed away. He started Guile and GNU arch (tla), probably the first free distributed version control system.

“Is reproducibility practical?” 👇
hpc.guix.info/blog/2022/07/is-

This new post asks whether reproducible deployment is a luxury for “professionals”, clarifies what #reproducibility means and how it affects #research practices.

The person who was setting up a conference session to discuss #Linux maintainer overwork and ways to address it couldn’t attend due to… burnout:

I can very much relate to the account of what their daily life looks like.

A “malicious actor [can] create a single tar archive which leads to different file outputs based on the implementation in use.”
