I wonder if there are any #guix maintainers willing to take a look at https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=70112 . I tried asking in #guix room few times, not much luck. There are already new versions available, and I would prefer not to rebase it (again), testing it is quite annoying due to differences between podman 4 and 5...

This is an year of rejects :D I got an official reject for turkey residence permit today.

P.S. I already have tickets to Georgia, and we plan a guix meetup in Tbilisi's hackerspace soon.

Bug tracker for RDE.

RDE is already quite big project with a few subprojects and it's hard to track feature requests, reports, milestones, their dependencies and to collocate and organize them properly and share publicly.

That's why for last few weeks I was looking at different project management/bug tracking solutions.

From what I found so far it seems that Bugzilla is the best option at the moment.

Thoughts?

Who uses #guix in any type of research related to #astronomy #astrophysics, please share your wishlist of missing software.

I am working on scheduled update 2024-03 for (gnu guix astronomy), most of it is #python #astropy #jwst related packages.

It would be nice to have https://yt-project.org/

> ... supports structured, variable-resolution meshes, unstructured meshes, and discrete or sampled data such as particles. ...

The package is ready and I might include it in the upcoming update.

Your periodic reminder that Stellarium is an amazing planetarium tool. Free, #OpenSource and very easy to use. There are desktop apps, mobile apps and a web version.

OK, https://github.com/astral-sh/uv is very cool: a fast replacement for Python's pip written in Rust by the same folks who built ruff.

I keep seeing articles and comments about #GUIX as an alternative to #NixOS but there is no way you'll ever catch me using a #Lisp language for system configuration

Give me #Nix or give me death!

Generated 69 guix package definitions from mix.lock. Spend the whole day (more than 10 hours) to make them successfully build.

Programming is cursed, I'm exhausted.

I just listened to

Developer Voices: How Lisp is designing Nanotechnology (with Prof. Christian Schafmeister)

Episode webpage: http://www.developervoices.com

I love the concept of choosing common lisp as a "forever language" because things like Python change too fast and code rots.

I started to collect a "Guix in Production" list:

https://github.com/abcdw/notes/blob/b1ab1a13093fab8d28a9f5936937ed513ac5cad8/notes/20240109091625-guix_in_production.org#L4

Do you know any other occurences?

Bend my mind to understand what #Guix commiter script does
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/etc/committer.scm.in #guilescheme could be harder than #perl :blobpats:

Anyone here with experience hosting services to the public Internet from inside of guix system container?

It occurred to me that this might be an easier way to deploy services with Guix on cloud providers where it's easier to install Guix on a distro like Debian or Alpine.

I'm not enjoying the latest Peter Frankopan book as much as I enjoyed his book The Silk Roads.

I've been listening to the audiobook, but it's not clicking with me. The content is very dry and has lots of listy info in the early chapters. I have the hardback as well. I think I'll ditch the audiobook and read the paper copy in the future.
