Here's a great throwback to a #FOSDEM video from 2016, "Your distro is a Scheme library" where @civodul shows some of the ways to query and configure #guix using #guile:

As we have a fixed and refreshed #Conda in #Guix, do we have any users of it to test ^.^?

https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/commit/873fc541a17f3a41d72c6b375754e035686de3fe

It also depends on a modern dependencies resolver #Mamba https://github.com/mamba-org/mamba which is not packaged yet and a classic resolver set as default for now

Dear @bonfire Ivan and Mayel.
Reading Bf "Apps" in https://bonfirenetworks.org/apps/ a question appeared: I understand that those different "flavors" of Bonfire are a set of modules/ extensions preconfigured, but after installing I can choose which ones to use (more or less than the ones existing upon install). Is it so?

Thanks a lot.
We are cheering your fundraising on https://www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/bonfire/community?ref=search

Also, loved the #guix instructions in https://docs.bonfirenetworks.org/deploy.html. Makes it so much easier to test... :)

A minimal, declarative setup for productive Rust 🦀 hacking on Emacs + Guix

https://jointhefreeworld.org/blog/articles/rust/simple-guix-emacs-rust-development-environment/index.html

I noticed there was a blatant lack of resources and documentation on this particular setup.

With a tiny manifest and a small Emacs configuration, you get a powerful, reproducible, elegant Rust development environment.

C’est parti pour #Nix + #Guix au #CdL avec @nim qui parle de gestion des secrets pour NixOS.

Tout ça s’annonce sympathique, viendez en A304 !

I managed to find an easy solution to have reproducible environment using #Guix time-machine while still coding at the comfort of my own IDE.

I wrote a very short blog post about how to set it up in about 5 minutes along with example codes for R and etc.:

https://mehrad.ai/posts/20251106-reproducible-r-enviroment-using-guix/

This can be used for virtually any programming language and software stack.

I want my own #email on my domain but don't want to hustle much. Although it'd much easier to selfhost email with #guix + dovecot I still kinda hesitate. What's the best "hackers" e-mail providers nowadays?

Is anyone running @gotosocial on @guix ?

My GoToSocial managed hosting provider, K&T Host, is shutting down, and I want to move my GTS install to my own web server (likely a VPS). In the past I've used Ansible for configuration management, but I'm sick of Ansible, and I want to try out GNU Guix.

Can anyone give me tips? I haven't really used Guix before, but I'm motivated to learn now.

Our fundraiser to "Sustain and Strengthen" GNU Guix has been running for a month. Time for a post on how we're doing:

https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2025/update-on-the-guix-fundraising/

We're at about 40% (€6562) of our €15000 annual goal. And, over 100 people have become recurring supporters - pledging between €10-€30 each month. This is a great start and we really appreciate everyone who's donated to Guix! 🙏

People have contributed through both our @fsf hosted funds and through Guix Foundation. Every donation help!

Excited to see how it goes through the next few weeks and what it means for the projects sustainability. 💪
