Looking at modern main/landing pages of projects I have absolutely no clue what they do, so I go and search wiki pages, source code, videos to understand what the project is about.

The only question I have: for whom those sites are?

atro

@abcdw HN and ProductHunt types; the pseudo-technicals crowd. They know the syntax of technical jargon without any of the semantics.

@abcdw
I call this one aspect of github disease, the repurposing of README contrary to traditional norms.

I'm so excited about existing self-hosted applications (selfh.st/apps/) and possibilities to integrate them, so I dumped some of my random thoughts on pubnix-like community infrastructure in this post:

@abcdw quick bug report the link in the confirmation email uses http and not https

Today we published the first issue of RDE Monthly Newsletter!

Interesting news and links related to Guix, Guile, RDE and Scheme delivered to your inbox or RSS reader.

Huge kudos to Kirill Yermak for preparing materials.

Please enjoy and share!

@abcdw I tried subscribing to the mailing list but I got an automated reply telling me the mailing list wasn't found. Any ideas?
Edit: the rde one works fine though

Ghislain Vaillant

@abcdw great initiative.

Do you intend to cross-post the newsletter to Mastodon as well, or will it remain email only?

Telling about dynamic/lexical scope in Scheme, fluids, parameters, dynamic-state's and their life in multi-threaded environment in 9 minutes.

Let me know what other questions about Scheme you have.

@abcdw Thanks!, this is really useful (great short video format). I haven't done any multi-threading programming yet, but I think the first examples should be useful to create some debugging helpers.

📢 «Looking for Guile Trainings / Consultant»

«Basic information about the project:

The software is a GUI client for lighting control systems. Its written in C++ using QT and guile.

We will publish it under a GPL compatible license, (probably GPLv3).

There are no NDAs or other restrictive agreements in place.»

Yesterday we were preparing a place for Tbilisi Guix Meetup and one of the residents of hackerspace brough an arm thinkpad. It's the first RISC laptop I see in person that feels modern and satisfying.

Maybe we will try to build a Guix image for it.

At 67 my brain is clogged with memories compared to 27, and I find my interest in absolutely everything distracting. I don’t focus any more, I’m no longer working to a deadline. It’s glorious fun but progress suffers. But I finally got a version of Guix+StdLinux (aka Nonguix, because the Linux kernel is full of non-free stuff that my Thinkpad’s Wifi needs) installed to my liking. I want to muck about with Andrew Tropin’s (@abcdw) exciting RDE project which builds on top of the Guix toolset. Quite emacs-heavy (okay with me, I’m very old school and it’s like an old shoe) and a very beautiful, tidy design.

@ Was waiting 2k EUR on opencollective.com/rde page to get virtual card we can use for covering infrastructure costs.

@ 51 EUR left.

@ Reading the 2 hours old message from OpenCollectiveEurope that they close virtual cards program ><

@abcdw I hope donated money are fine :)

Btw it would be nice to read or hear how opencollective works, what is your experience with this donating platform.

It is still a shame, that it looks like there is no similar donation service for crypto currencies, they would be much easier to control than fiat money, no 3rd party involved.

@daviwil are you going to have sessions later in the year? I'm super interested in taking the course but the timing doesn't really work for me.

@daviwil Can't wait for the #Guix course ;)

One of the most useful extensions for Firefox (actually LibreWolf) is Sidebery. Finally I can decrease a mess of tabs and make them structured.

There are a lot of features, but most useful are:
- Rules for automatically moving tabs into "panels" (a grouping mechanism similiar to workspaces).
- Foldeable tree view.
- Rules for openning tabs in specific containers (combines well with container proxy and multi-account).
- Integration with bookmarks.

My favourite feature is automatically periodically save a snapshot of current tabs as Markdown indented lists. And since I specified my #Logseq folder as the saving path, I can navigate my browser history from Logseq journal.

@abcdw - thank you for sharing - this is super useful

@abcdw
what i am missing is "move tab to folder" or something. I started today with 202 uncatecorized tabs and don't want to drag them all. Did i miss this?

EmacsConf 2023 Stickers came to my forest 🥳

Luckily enough, because today is my last day here (in this climbing season), going to Georgia now.

#visionfive2 + #guix + linux-libre 能启动,但网络还是坏的,估计内核还缺点啥配置没开启。还得从 spi boot ,是 opensbi v1.2,v1.3 会炸。
并且得设置 fdtfile 为 starfive/jh7110-starfive-visionfive-2-v1.3b.dtb
