I’m not a bot.
Other great resource is guix shell: Overview by Andrew.
Although, one thing I’m still trying to understand is the difference between guix.scm and manifest.scm… The posted article only mentions guix.scm, but Andrew talks about both. But… he doesn’t really go into why there are two files and when you would use one or the other…
Damn, I just realized the video is 40 minutes long! I watched all of it. So damn on point.
Of course I know about the hallucinations and I’ve had to correct its basic math, but now that we’ve moved past the physics that I understand, it’s amazing!
This ^^^ 1,000 times this!!! ^^^ I’ve had so many people tell me this before…
I didn’t say exactly 400k. I said “make around that amount of money”
My main point is that you shouldn’t kill yourself for only 400k per year. Ask for much, much more.
For the absolute bottom rung, not exactly 400k, but around there. Also depends on the city and team.
The main point is that if you’re gonna work a 996, you better be making at least $1M/year or more (honestly probably more, I tend to undershoot salaries) for it to be worth it. Otherwise, just get a normal FANG job if you only want to make $400k (lower end for FANG).
Yeah! I’ve heard of these, but haven’t tried them out myself yet.
Maybe pick up some deet as well.
Uh… Just saying… you (or others reading) need to think in much bigger numbers for that extreme of a schedule… Entry level devs at FANG make around that amount of money… and we didn’t work nearly that many hours at the office…
I just recently setup my Brother printer with Guix Linux. I was able to use brlaser from the guix channel.
non-free packages need to use a non-official channel
It’s very easy to add additional channels and non-official channels integrate pretty well into everything. I don’t really notice if a package comes from an “official” channel or “non-official” channel.
1,000 times this.
looks at laptops with hidpi displays 👀
I guess some Unitedstatians have really poor diets, so their stomachs can’t handle any amount of fiber.
Just in case it helps anyone, here’s what my service block looks like:
(services
(let ((custom-services (list (service gnome-desktop-service-type)
(service bluetooth-service-type)
(service cups-service-type)
(service tailscale-service-type)
(set-xorg-configuration
(xorg-configuration
(keyboard-layout keyboard-layout)))))
(nonguix-url "https://substitutes.nonguix.org/")
(nonguix-key "(public-key (ecc (curve Ed25519) (q #C1FD53E5D4CE971933EC50C9F307AE2171A2D3B52C804642A7A35F84F3A4EA98#)))"))
(modify-services
(append custom-services
%desktop-services)
(guix-service-type config =>
(guix-configuration
(inherit config)
(substitute-urls
(append (list nonguix-url)
%default-substitute-urls))
(authorized-keys
(append (list (plain-file "nonguix.pub"
nonguix-key))
%default-authorized-guix-keys)))))))
It’s been a weird situation.
But then they list Syncthing-Fork in the docs, seemingly giving the fork their blessing
https://github.com/catfriend1/syncthing-android <-- the fork repo
So I guess your main options are:
Have you tried rerunning them all day until they pass? 😄
For English content, torrents are great.
But I’ve been having much better luck finding Spanish content on streaming sites, instead of torrent sites, and then downloading. See Guides for downloading streams.
The The Stream Detector is great!
You get 2 or maybe 3 years of updates and then the device is trash.
Yeah, I’ve noticed this as well…
… which is why I was surprised when I read that Nothing Phone 3 will get 5 years of updates + 2 years of security updates.
https://www.androidauthority.com/nothing-phone-3-software-updates-3568533/
Nothing’s Co-Founder and Head of Marketing, Akis Evangelidis, has confirmed that the upcoming Nothing Phone 3 will ship with a “5+7” software update promise. …likely means the phone will get five years of Android version updates and seven years of security patches…
Although, you can’t install GrapheneOS on Nothing phones… so, 🤷
Many of them don’t even allow it to be a hidden file—they just require a fully unhidden “tool.yml” file sitting right there in the root of your project.
I love this. I hate when tools only allow hidden config files. I want to know where the config is—my teammates should be aware of where the config is. I don’t want to be tricked into thinking there isn’t a config file in a directory.
I actually have alias ls='ls -A' in my bashrc so I see everything.
I’ve been enjoying Guix for the last 8 days. You declare your OS and home config in a file and you can check them into source control. It was originally a fork of NixOS, but has diverged a lot.
The CLIs and APIs are pretty nice. They have a concept of “channels”, which are git repos you can download software from. The default official channel only hosts FOSS software, but you can trivially add non-FOSS channels and they work just as well as the first-party channels.
Each channel update and package install, removal, update get put on a log, which you can trivially jump between. guix package --switch-genereation=28 and boom you’re at that generation (it’s like a git commit). The software and config changes get saved in the generation so the jump is clean and atomic. I actually bisected my OS yesterday to track a bug! That was cool. You can also create and share isolated, reproducible environments.
Guix works with Flatpak and distrobox as well, in case some software isn’t available in existing channels. I got HiDPI, Zoom, Logseq, Syncthing, and Tailscale working.
The biggest drawback for me so far is that it doesn’t use systemd. Not sure if it’s a dealbreaker for me yet. Systemd does way more than just manage system services, so GNU Shepherd (which Guix uses) isn’t a real replacement.
‘MechaHitler’ incident
Government: Shut up and take my money!
I use Emacs on the daily, and I just can’t get into Scheme.
Do you find that Elisp and Scheme are too different? I don’t know either, so they look almost the same to me.
If it were me, I’d set up my mom with GNOME because I feel like KDE might provide too many footguns or may look/feel overwhelming due to the many available customization options.
IDK though. I’ve used GNOME for years and have only briefly used KDE for experimentation. I’m guessing there’s some way to customize KDE to make it more simple? I imagine GNOME would be nice on a tablet because it tends to have nice big button targets, but I haven’t tried it.
