Ok, family and friends and #guix peeps, the #guixrouter initial push is up on codeberg as promised.
https://codeberg.org/dlakelan/guixrouter
There's also a semi-extensive discussion of how to use it in the README which is visible at the repo page, it probably needs a bit more discussion in the […]
Знову встановив #guix. Хочу мати альтернативу NixOS якщо він згівняння пройде.
Нууу дуже повільні операції виконує цей Guix. Чому виклик `guix gc`(garbage collect) узагалі починає завантаження якихось пакетів...
Як бонус на цей раз довелося ще довше встановлювати бо nonguix(мені не підходить […]
I took the plunge and installed #guix on my Debian laptop, I can't guix install things because I need a proxy. On a guix system I would "herd set-http-proxy guix-daemon <myproxy>"
how do I do something similar on debian?
All right tech nerds, here's a question for you. My sister has a linux mini PC system used for a router, and she has a Laptop running recent windows. I have a VPN to her house. Can I set up a system where she puts network boot first in her laptop and it boots #guix off the network and mounts her […]
Are #guix users having problems pulling with (gnu packages mercury) not being available?
Me (to my son): We were driving so much for soccer this weekend, I should have had you bring your [#guix based] laptop in the car, and you could have worked on the english homework you needed to do.
Him: But I wouldn't have had WiFi.
Friends, if you think chromebooks aren't about learned […]
#guix friends. I have a build VM that lets me deploy things to other machines on my net. When I deploy to my router, shouldn't it deploy the same version of guix that is used to build the deployment? How do I know which version of guix is running? guix describe shows a very out of date version […]

Оп, а вот мне и видос в рекоменлациях выпал.

All right friends, it's not pretty, but I have a crypt-bcache-vols-service which starts up and registers all the bcache devices on my wife's server, then uses cryptsetup to open up the encrypted luks volumes and mount the btrfs files...
stress-ng says the server can handle about 250MB/s […]
I was gonna post on the #guix tag to ask how to keep the GDM greeter from going to sleep, but then I thought I'd check the manual, and sure enough there's just a flag you can set in the guix config... So instead of posting a how to, I'm posting to say that working with guix is great because […]
OK today is supposed to be an upgrade of my wife's server, install of yggdrasil and check remote connectivity so I can continue to improve its config from home...
i did a #guix pull and am doing a reconfigure and it is currently building guix-1.5.0 and that is taking a while. is this normal?
#guix friends. My son was having trouble with some 3D plotly plots on some homework, in Librewolf. Some of the problems persisted even when we turned on webGL. So I figured we could try ungoogled-chromium-wayland... but when he tried to install it the current version his guix knows about isn't […]
Hey #guix peeps. I sent a message to help-guix list but didn't get a reply, maybe someone here knows.
On my wife's new server I have two spinning disks and two SSDs. The spinning disks are partitioned into a 10MB partition for storing a key, and the rest for bcache...
Once the bcache is […]
Right now my #guixrouter uses unbound to forward upstream queries to Cloudflare DNS over TLS.
I'm thinking of moving that to DNS over Tor. How many of you do your DNS over Tor and how reliable is it? Since unbound doesn't handle this directly with socks proxy options, I'm thinking of using […]
#guix pull and system reconfigure complete. heading towards lunchtime... i dont think I see Sam's truck... thats gonna be a bummer man, thats a bummer.
Progress... #Guix installed with #Gnome because it makes administration easier. used #gparted to partition the second ssd, and then add a partition to the / btrfs and rebalance converting it to raid1.
next guix pull... when thats done adding bcache-tools and cryptsetup. Then the giant spinning […]
Ok #guix peeps, I have figured out what the hell was wrong with my router's timekeeping.
I was running the openntpd service and as I watched it, it brought the time offset down to a few ms but it always refused to declare itself synchronized. This meant the clients ignored it...and it was the […]
Both boys have updated their laptops to recent #guix after the security announcement a few days ago. i made them walk through the commands and explained what they were doing. We had some issues with kid 2, because we had added tor browser to his config.scm and right now its not downloadable as a […]
Saw the message from @guix about a potential security issue this morning. did a #guix pull and deployed to my #guixrouter, problem was fixed within 10 mins of seeing the announcement. So great for an internet facing device. My previous Raspberry Pi 4 device running the Pi OS got updated rarely […]
a contrario #Guix et #Nix sont présentés comme des alternatives valables pour obtenir des réplications exactes de ce type d'artefact sur plusieurs années.
A fairly long bunch of text around an error in guix where two packages I want to install are each asking for a different version of some dependency. It wants me to uninstall one of the packages or upgrade them, but they're already upgraded.
#guix experts, for my #guixrouter I am trying to add the tor snowflake proxy, and I'm getting a problem with conflicting versions of some dependency. Screenshot is hard to read so I'll give the gist of it in the next post. Anyone got an idea how to handle […]

Posted a little blog post on how I manage my #guix system configuration :)
https://www.terracrypt.net/posts/guix-config.html
Most of the example configs I'd found were all in one file, and I hadn't seen people break up their configs like this all that much. (I'm sure people do it, just hadn't […]
Ive been making a bunch of steady progress on the computer projects I have. For example ive got Tor doing relay on my router. Ive got storage for my Yunohost. Ive got both my kids laptops working, ive got backups for my laptop, and backups for my NAS, etc.
So one thing I'd like to get back to […]
Ok, we've got a plan in place to repurpose the old fileserver as a new archive server. Needs the purchase of two largish NAS hard drives, and a full refresh of the OS and some scripting etc, but after that, we're good to go.
I'm gonna put #guix on it so it's reproducible in case the old device […]
fixed some missing DNS names on my lan, and added a tor relay to my #guix router. Deployed from my build machine and rebooted. Downtime of less than 30 seconds.

Just published: the Guix-HPC activity report:
hpc.guix.info/blog/2026/02/guix-hpc-ac...
It's really "Guix for science". not just HPC. Improved tooling for scientific workflows, streamlined deployment on clusters, and efforts toward user awareness and support.
#guix
The amount of work that got done by the #guix #hpc crowd last year is truly impressive, and seems to be attracting some good funding. The report is at
