Like any good admin, I chose Friday evening to deploy Cuirass 1.3.6 on https://ci.guix.gnu.org and https://pulls.ci.guix.gnu.org 👇 https://codeberg.org/guix/cuirass/src/commit/9c586674283951951580c315512b89d2643e1a08/NEWS#L14-L38 It’s primarily a bug-fix release but it has a couple of noteworthy improvements made by my partners in crime at Inria, @shepherd@fosstodon.org and @vivien_kraus@h4.io . #Guix

I'm tempted to look at #guix, because of the diversity of the community and #guile but I'm a bit worried about so much llm slop coming in through dependencies. Also on the shortlist: #netbsd which seems pretty European. The core maintainers seem to be mainly white men, which isn't necessarily bad, but I'd prefer more diversity. The anti-llm policy seems really good.

currently fumbling around, trying to figure out how to edit my guix-home-config.scm with emacs, geiser, and company for auto-complete. it would be so nice to have, but i don't know how to make it work. loading the buffer in geiser complains about "#~". trying to manually ,use certain modules in the repl like (gnu home) gives me no code for module (gcrypt hash)

someone suggested adding "~/.config/guix/current/share" to the geiser-load-path, which i've done, but no dice.

does anyone use secure boot on guix system and could help me figure out how to get that working? or if you don't use it, is there some alternative option you use for security, or a reason you don't feel it's necessary? #guix #secureboot

After weeks of struggling to bootstrap it, I have successfully written a configuration file for a 16-year old Lenovo Atom netbook with #Guix and deployed changes to it with the deploy utility. Lots of problems stood in the way, but cross-building packages from x86_64 to i686 gave me a lot of opportunities to learn from. I will have a blog post talking more about this in the coming days. Now, was there any major point to all this? Nope, it's purely for fun.

Tried to boot the #guix installer on my server. It hangs at establishing network connectivity. If I switch to a different vt and look at ip addresses it has both a valid v4 and v6 address... It's on a network where http requires a proxy, does it try to check internet access via http? It has no option to set a proxy in the installer? Any guix friends have suggestions?

See, the inverse would have been useful for me as Jovian Experiments already exists and has deep integration such that it would probably need to be re-written in Guile Scheme for comparable functionality. *Edited. @vivekanandanks@mstdn.social Tags: #Nix #NixOS #Guix #GuixOS #Linux

@Saorsa@neondystopia.world Recently came upon guixpkgs: https://fzakaria.com/2026/06/25/guixpkgs-every-guix-package-as-a-nix-flake So step by step we are closer to convergence of both systems where one can use any and end user can migrate with just 1 or few lines in their config❤️ Since both systems are a pure functional code, I think that characteristic itself made them easily portable/bridgeable/interoperable as language agnostic system. #nix #guix #nixos #guixos #Linux

@Saorsa@neondystopia.world I aim to see one day where people can configure in the language of choice like nix or guix or anything else and choose the underlyingSystem = nix/guix and just like that it's enough to convert my whole os to guixos from nixos. Far dream, but since both systems are OS as Code, it's possible. #nix #nixos #guix #guixos #OS #linux

You CAN use other configuration languages like JSON or YAML for structuring Nix options. Though using Nix directly of course is the intended way of doing things. Suppose it would be a matter of developing a Linux distribution agnostic package manager that allowed orchestration in multiple languages. The closest you can get to that currently would be with Lisp and its many dialects. @vivekanandanks@mstdn.social Tags: #Nix #Nixos #Guix #GuixOS #OS #Linux

I'm a bit of a goober myself so I'd take what I have to say with a grain of salt. But I've recently just got into Emacs myself through GNU Guix. While I have found that here is certainly a learning curve when it comes to using Lisp. Once you get used to it, once you get used of using Lisp as a configuration language, you'll find that Emacs isn't that bad of an editor. Besides, Emacs does have evil mode which should make you feel right at home as a VIM user. @nadiyar@nadiyar.com Tags: #Vim, #Neovim, #Guix, #Emacs, #Lisp, #Freesoftware, #FLOSS, #FOSS.
