 Did you know that there is a new substitute and CI server for Guix? TLDR: North American based Guix Substitute Server, https://cuirass.genenetwork.org https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2024-07/msg00033.html yt-dlp in guix is updated to 2024.05.27! Kudos to Leo Famulari! https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=9014b27480a1fafc643feb97db9c7efff74294ba TIL about very nice micro service called https://forwarddomain.net/ It allows to make a redirect from your domain to a particular web page using only DNS records. No webserver of VPS setup is needed. Booting Guix/RDE on Proxmox-based VPS (not succeed yet). I started with rescue in-ram debian system and tried to write qcow2 image to sda: modprobe nbd qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd1 cloud-rde.qcow2 dd if=/dev/nbd1 of=/dev/sda status=progress What am I missing 🤔  Ok, the problem was in missing virtio_scsi initrd module, thank you to @daviwil for help! :) XMPP to Matrix federation: https://www.process-one.net/blog/matrix-gateway-setup-with-ejabberd/  @abcdw this is cool! Having it as a plugin on the XMPP server itself would be more stable than an external bridge :xmpp: How to install 100000 packages in Guix? Answering this question in the latest video and giving some tips on packaging for Guix, using community channels, Distrobox, Flatpak and Nix. @abcdw Hi, with my upcoming Guile-PAM you can write your LDAP queries in GNU Guile. https://codeberg.org/lechner/guile-pam LDAP for Rocket Scientists is a great source of information about LDAP Schemas, ObjectClasses, Attributes, DITs and stuff. https://www.zytrax.com/books/ldap/ and with this blog series it seems I'm covered for the basics: @abcdw Hi, with my upcoming Guile-PAM you can write your LDAP queries in GNU Guile. https://codeberg.org/lechner/guile-pam Guile bindings for Sway. Can handle nested keymaps, have which-key like interface, allows to listen for sway events and much more.  niri v0.1.7 is out with fractional scaling, window screencasts and many smaller improvements! Apparently there's a cool Pango flag that enables subpixel glyph positioning which makes things scale smoother and improves kerning! Thanks Benjamin (the GTK maintainer) for the suggestion Yay! New Guile release! Custom ports, Wisp, bunch of bug fixes and much more in Guile 3.0.10! https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2024-06/msg00026.html P.S. That means, we are even closer to Arei 1.0 release than ever before! :) @abcdw We have an active Free Software community at https://join.jabber.network/#fsci@muc.tchncs.de?join  @abcdw there’s guix(at)chat.disroot.org & with biboumi (an IRC gateway => https://biboumi.louiz.org) there’s also a convenient way to join and use IRC rooms from XMPP clients. Today I catched a very tricky bug with RDE mail setup cause of which I didn't get a few emails in my work inbox. Now I think I got all of them, but if I still didn't respond to your message, feel free to ping me :) Announcing the Pre-Scheme Restoration project! Many thanks to @nlnet who have made this project possible. https://prescheme.org/posts/announcing-the-pre-scheme-restoration.html

@flatwhatson @nlnet Reading the s48 refmanual I notice that the numeric types use double and long, and booleans use char. Could this be configurable in a future implementation?, pre-scheme could be an awesome meta programming tool but the current scheme48 implementation seems too restrictive. @flatwhatson I am delighted to see that this effort exists! In the early 90’s I built robots that booted to s48. Jonathan Rees made scheme work brilliantly. In the late 90’s I set up a new group of robots with Kelsey’s Kali scheme. On one of my visits to NEC, I asked Richard about pre-scheme. I think jar called it “a compiler only one person could run”, so I didn’t feel too bad that I couldn’t get it running on my own. But that’s a story for another day. I wish you great success! I need a help with designing LDAP schema for community infrastructure project. Are there any expirienced LDAP administrators over here? Preferably with 389ds experience. I want to have a quick talk, but would really appreciate links to good documentation/courses/videos too. #ldap #openldap #keycloak #389directoryserver #389ds #admin #SysAdmin #DevOps #administrator #suse #fedora #redhat There is so much value in the good documentation. I really appreciate, when project provide nice, clean and helpful docs, it makes your life times easier. I'm not very good at it ATM. Wanna be confused by a bit of Guile Scheme? 99% of people can't give the right answer to this question: https://paste.sr.ht/~abcdw/e0c96bdbae4838e3b027054605532825ad542e58 Wow, Framework Computer @frameworkcomputer just announced a RISC-V mainboard for their 13" laptop chassis: https://frame.work/blog/introducing-a-new-risc-v-mainboard-from-deepcomputing This is an exciting step forward for high-quality open hardware laptops! |

@abcdw @rekahsoft @pjotrprins
I am really excited what this demonstrates for #ReproducibleBuilds in #Guix both for a third reference point...
But also that you can enable the build farm without trusting it, relying on the signatures from the more established servers, and download the bit-for-bit identical binaries from the "untrusted" one.
Which is not to say there is any reason in particular not to trust the new build farm... just that you do not have to trust it for it to be useful!
