Learning to write #Guix services, at last... My first Guix service will be a service for the Battle for Wesnoth daemon. Maybe a little premature, but I already feel all my system administrator woes melting away!

@taiz tfw you're on #nix or #guix so you never truly installed those things and they just go away in the next gc, instead of you having to disentangle what the things were and what things they pulled in with them.

clacke clacke , cwebber

@cwebber @azure Provisionally my ideal is #guix / #nix that is also used for intra-package dependencies, so that the daemon becomes a fine-grained compiler cache, and also that the system is modified to be able to produce non-store-y binaries for general consumption.

Ubuntu as OS, with #nix and #guix as side-loaded package managers. It's the gateway drug.

#guix and #guixsd 0.14.0 released! New features include: - Installer iso (GuixSD) (previously only USB image) - Friendlier and more helpful guix package (informs early about installed size, ambiguities etc.) - Networked guix-daemon! h…

Hi, yes, hello, local #guix and #nix shill here. Are you aware that the packaging and isolation system you are describing is almost exactly https://gnu.org/s/guix/ and https://nixos.org/nix/ and that they have 13 years of history thinki…

As I mess about with this, I get the impulse to look at what else is in my wiki, apart from the start page. I know there's a #guix intend-to-package page in there, but I discovered I also wrote something on #SFC, #SFLC and #debian 18 mon…

My VPS can't pull #guix any more. It times out after 1h of no text output (but 100% guile CPU). Guile 2.2 together with an expanding package catalog have simply made the pull process too big for this poor machine.

Jan's announcement of the latest #dianara made me wonder:

Is anyone working on #flatpak or #snap support in #nix or #guix ?

I got it running now! The problem with the missing drives was the SCSI driver. I switched to SATA drivers and now everything is found. >You took a running Debian and just ran `guix system init` on it? This is how I did it now…

@xj9 @thezacattacks Aesthetically, #guix wins every time. And in some practical terms too. On #nix I go out of my way to avoid interpreting the whole package tree, on guix it is compiled and I just address packages by name, not by exact …

Yay, somebody considered backwards compatibility and usability!
