Spore, 1 year ago to linux in Everyday Use of GNU Guix

There is a pre built distribution, you need to configure binary cache to get it. Refer to the “Substitute for nonguix” section: gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix

Guile and Guix is way better documented than Nix. The language have more features, so you don’t have to use a hack to load packages, can actually know what is accepted in a function instead of blindly copying what others do, and it comes with a formatter.

You can swap it with the standard one. It’s on another non-official channel called nonguix.

Spore, 1 year ago to linux in I think Wayland should have been approached differently

So why not just use the lean and maintainable wlroots

wlroots can’t be used (comfortably and idiomatically) in Rust because it’s too hard (if not impossible) to provide a memory-safe interface for it.

we can move to another implementation of the Wayland protocols.

So unfortunately this has already happened.

Spore, 1 year ago to asklemmy in I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack?

If it’s only for 3 days you need nothing unless you get diarrhea.
