Installing and configuring Podman on Guix system in 2 minutes:

Talking a bit about Containers, Docker and how it fits Guix.

Guix and RDE config showcase:

[dwl-guile] Elegant weapons for a more...civilized age

:guix: :emacs: :wayland: :lisp:

Kudos to screenshot author: @migalmoreno

dwl-guile and dtoa-guile authors: @engstrand and Fredrik Engstrand

and thousands of people bringing all that beatiful software to us.

P.S. This is a re-post of an old post, but the screenshot still beatiful :)

P.P.S. Link to the config git.migalmoreno.com/guix-confi

Nice managed self-hosting app provider: @Pikapods

=> pikapods.com

IIUC, It shares part of the revenue to authors of the project.

Diagram of bash initialization scripts loading order.

I spent quite some time back in the days to build similiar picture in my mind from documentation.

@abcdw

Thanks for sharing! I am having some #guix path issues on Fedora, so this diagram is really handy!

Today I learned: If you don't add (require 'server) before calling (daemonp), your Emacs daemon will silently hang.

The thing I don't actually want to learn at all, ever.

It took 3 hours to debug, I found solution completely accidentially: just forgot to remove it, when was playing with (server-running-p).

#til #emacs #cursedtech

zrzz

@abcdw Do you have a minimal test case to reproduce this? I don't see it with my config and emacs -Q --daemon -f daemonp and similar attempts don't hang for me either.

Built RDE cloud image. A bare bone Guix-based system in qcow2 format with sshd, dhcp-client and cloud-init, which resizes root file system to the size of provided disk, so it can be easily deployed to VPS or local virtual machine.

Thanks to @krevedkokun and David Dashyan for working on cloud-init shepherd service.

Live hacking some arcane lisp code (giving a talk) on Tbilisi Guix Meetup #1. Unexpectedly many people came to the party.

There is a conference on Live Programming. It sound like a perfect fit for sharing our results on Guile Scheme IDE, which is more than 100% about live/interactive programming in Scheme language. Moreover, this event is not too academic, so I don't need to write a full-blown paper.

The only concern is that my USA visa is expired and getting a new one can take too much time :/

liveprog.org

My genuine thoughts: fuck those visas.

We sneakily released Arei Guile Scheme IDE 0.9.5 a couple weeks ago. Mostly because there is not much user-visible new functionality, we just keep polishing sharp edges before 1.0 release.

To keep you updated: Yesterday I implemented extensions resolution mechanism, Nikita is cleaning up session handling on Emacs side and a couple more things left to do.

While we are getting ready for 1.0, @lil started to work on Hoot support!

Hey Guilers !

Motivated by @abcdw work on rde tests and gider, I spend time on Gunit64 : tools to fire up SRFI64 tests with Emacs key bindings thanks to Geiser.

First steps done ! Next one will be to ease installation using Guix.

Right now it is still manual : dedicated minor-mode, .dir-locals.el, Guile module…

Concret use case in the `tests` directory.

Check it out and tell me !

Don't hesitate to ping me for help or ideas!

@jeko I moved test-runner and related utilities to Ares:
git.sr.ht/~abcdw/guile-ares-rs

Plan to rework it a bit and provide an Emacs interface through Arei in foreseable future.

Maybe will later move test-runner to a separate library, when we make a good guile package manager.

I always a bit shy asking for support in general or talking about funding FOSS projects in particular, I didn't even have a direct link to support page on my site.

Today I realized that it's not ok and from now on I need to be more open and explicit on the problem of FOSS funding. I started with updating my site index page.

trop.in

I genuinely grateful to all the people, who already bolster me and related projects no matter how hard it was to find a support page :)

@abcdw thanks for sharing and bringing light to funding in FOSS. Do you have any non-crypto means for us to support you directly? Is Liberapay¹ an option at all?

TIL about infrastructure cooperatives. Many of their ideas reasonates with my thoughts and the thread I started earlier [1]. Here is a list of links to some of such coops and related resources:
- hcoop.net
- cyberia.club
- autonomic.zone
- servers.coop
- webarchitects.coop
- chatons.org/en
- hostsharing.net

@abcdw infrastructure coops are a great thing! I would love to see something pubnix-ish running guix; it would also benefit the guix ecosystem as a whole as that would probably mean more packages and shepherd services to be written and ready to use.

@graywolf Answering your question in Guile's IRC about record introspection: to obtain fields of a record-type there is record-type-fields function.

You can go even further and get a list of fields from record itself.
(record-type-fields (record-type-descriptor (%make-some-record 1 2 3)))

r6rs records introspection have a bit more consistent naming:
(use-modules (rnrs records inspection))
(record-type-fields (record-rtd (%make-record 1 2 3)))

@abcdw Oh that is great. Thank you for going out of your way to tell me! :) Now I can finally adjust my documentation generator to produce @deftp instead of @defvar. Yeeey.

I think Guix Social meetup, can become the first Guix podcast soon and maybe even a huge technical conference in some future :)

Kudos to @futurile for organizing all the talks.

@abcdw oh wow, that's some great ideas - thank-you! I had coffee with @fabionatali this week where we discussed lots of ideas! Time being the main constraint!

@256 oh no, this reminded me of ye olde jokes from the Win9x era, "Windows has detected that you have moved your mouse. Please restart your computer."
Gorgeous na Shock!

@256 Remember when every trip into network properties required a reboot? 😌

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.

gdt

@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

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?
