Several talks at #FOSDEM will be related to recent work of mine. I'm highlighting them in the thread below (with links). Feel free to reach out to me if you want to know more and/or cannot attend.

… and have a great FOSDEM!

@m3tti I have been using it as my daily driver for the last two years, and it's going pretty well actually, feels like home.
About luks and lvm2, you probably will benefit from reading the section about mapped devices in the manual.
Run `info guix mapped-device` if you have the guix info installed, or look it here:

4. Spritely Oaken
The @spritely Institute, headed up by @cwebber (OG #ActivityPub / #Fediverse cofounder) is working on making the next generation of FOSS, decentralized internet (beyond the web). Oaken is a vision to help make running untrusted code on this new frontier safe, opening up far more possibilities. It doesn't exist yet... but now there's funding to build it!

5. Empowering Mobilizon
Creating a governance structure to hit Mobilizon's most important goals and priorities. We really need an open, privacy respecting way to get people offline and building community now more than ever. Governance may not be sexy, but this will make a huge difference! to funding, planning and increasing the features and reach of Mobilizon!

@NGIZero just dropped the 2025 list of grant-funded FOSS projects, and there's some bangers this year!:

Here's 6 I'm super excited for in reverse order:

"Our mission is to revolutionize the map and provide a better experience for all users. It is simply the Next Generation of OpenStreetMap."

@lhp Understandable :/. Though, maybe it still worth giving a try, idk

@lhp Hey, have you tried Guix? You seem to like Guile, the language Guix uses for almost everything:
- System declaration
- Home declaration
- Package definitions
- Package builds
- Init system
- Manifest specifications
- ...
and Guix provides some conteiner conveniences, maybe it's of your interest.

(The Guix build daemon is also being rewritten in Guile)

connecting a WM written in guile scheme to river's rwm branch 👀

(prototype, doesn't actually do anything yet)

#riverwm

Here's some photos of a nice beetle I saw some weeks ago at uni :)

Special thanks to @look, who run my scheme code in a beefier machine than mine :)

I just completed "Guard Gallivant" - Day 6 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2024/day/6

I've completed "Red-Nosed Reports" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2024/day/2

@thegnuguy Strange. Did it show any error message? I mean, to investigate the issue.

@civodul As I have plenty disk space available, I decided to try running the import here. But it has been running for the last, I guess, 3h and it still hasn't finished here.

The messages also don't appear to indicate any progress.

@thegnuguy Which problem did you have in upgrading the guix system?

@mms I've been trying typst recently, it's pretty interesting

@k I'm settled in GNU Guix, I guess since early 2023.

@aemogie Oh, that's nice, congrats

@civodul Yes, but as an special case because you know me and follow me in here and you saw I did it, and I bothered you in IRC about it.
We cannot rely on you being nice to people. It's great, don't get me wrong. But in order to keep you being nice for long time, we cannot squeeze the niceness too hard out of you.

Am I explaining myself properly here?
