I've done a little (very little) on Stump/contrib and it is on my list to look into. But I know nothing of Wayland (internals especially) and would prefer something that is at least a little usable to hack on while using it. I don

Yes, let's get some work on this and then I can finally move to Wayland!

To the last point: since it is a lisp, data = code and all that. Fundamentally I think that is at the heart of a lot of the power here with package definitions and the system itself being the same.

I'm not sure how that could work exactly, but yeah, did think of some sort of guix shell build environment container. Though I guess inside it should be the same as "regular" Linux, but you've specified the environment e

I'm sure someone will tell you, perhaps privately. Everyone is quite nice there and no one is going around trying to shame people or kick them out.

There's an ongoing effort to smooth out the entire Nvidia process, e.g. https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix/-/issues/198 has the current discussion. As anyone that has dealt with Nvidia on Linux, it

Guix is quite different from it's origins, though some of the oldest part of the daemon are still from the Nix days, if I understand. It will one day be rewritten in all Guile, presumably.

See my comment above about adding a general FHS container to Guix itself; it works, just need to put the final touches on the patches.

There's an FHS emulating option for guix shell containers that has been proposed (it needs some minor code changes but is functional; I use it): https://issues.guix.gnu.org/56677 So doing a guix shell --container --emu

Thanks for this, really great and engaging dive into the mechanics and design of CK3.

Not an apt user but my quick search suggests this just downloads the source of the package? The guix shell --development command in this article is for getting all the dependencies needed to build the package (but not the source itself, tho

Another great use of guix shell that I tend to do is for one off commands. I don't need OBS installed to use it occasionally, I can just do "guix shell obs -- obs" to run it once and not have it in my PATH, application launch

Not on Silverblue but I've used a bindmount to have /gnu/store elsewhere (due to disk space on a laptop). I can dig up some notes if that is helpful.

Yes for autokey, I've used that to get emacs-like keys everywhere (modified from https://github.com/psederberg/autokey-emacs-config to https://github.com/podiki/autokey-emacs-config/tree&

Can't overstate how great the SNY booth is. It has gotten me to continue watching blowouts or when the Mets are just not playing well, purely for the commentary, insights, or just goofing around they do. I've come to realize how n

I never noticed before when this link has come up, but it lists a rescan in the description: https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1979-08-rescan In my quick view, this is more cleaned up and easier to read at smal

The names all seem very "American" for lack of a better word. And not "American" as in land of immigrants either.

I find a lot of problems with this breezy discussion (from biases in data and actual results of things like algorithmic sentencing) but thought it would make good fodder for a discussion here. Personally, I'm a fan of the ol' coin

A bit off topic, but does anyone else find a data/financial company name "two sigma" to be...either troubling (how often two sigma events happen randomly and their lack of meaning beyond random fluctuation), or really on the

Wow, especially in a country like Japan with so few guns and gun violence, this is especially shocking.

For reference, I run miniflux on a Pi (4? I think) which is my home server. Runs great on there and I mostly just use the web reader these days. Was a little more minimalist than I would have liked at first, but grown to appreciate that. Ni

What didn't you like about miniflux? I've been using that for a couple of years now, solid, easy web interface (or use Fever feeds for a client), and paired with rss-bridge works great.

I think my favorite (the one I saw that led me to find this source) is the invisible squirrel timers in Titan Quest. A nice hack and showed someone who could think outside the box, getting a well-deserved promotion.
