I'm trying to get guix installed on an Ubuntu 24.10 (work) machine.

I tried running guix home container, but got this error.

error: mount: mount "none" on "/tmp/guix-directory.V6IzTc": Permission denied

I fixed it by creating a file at /etc/apparmor.d/guix with this content.

# This profile allows everything and only exists to give the
# application a name instead of having the label "unconfined"

abi <abi/4.0>,
include <tunables/global>

profile guix /{usr/bin/guix,gnu/store/*-guix-command,gnu/store/*/bin/guix,gnu/store/*/libexec/guix/guile,gnu/store/*/bin/guile} flags=(unconfined) {
  userns,

  # Site-specific additions and overrides. See local/README for details.
  include if exists <local/guix>
}

Seems to have fixed that error now! Woo.

Cool even if you're not interested in learning Scheme. It has some neat features.

Code as data? 😵‍💫

guix shell sees to it that all of the dependencies (listed in the inputs and native-inputs sections) are available within the shell session it creates by downloading (or building, if necessary) the entire dependency tree.

Should you want/need more isolation from the host system, guix shell has you covered. The --pure flag will clear out most existing environments variables, such as $PATH, so that the resulting environment does not contain pointers to places like /usr. For more Docker-like isolation, the --container flag can be used, which will run the new shell session within a set of Linux namespaces so that the host system is inaccessible.

Before performing the study, the developers in question expected the AI tools would lead to a 24 percent reduction in the time needed for their assigned tasks. Even after completing those tasks, the developers believed that the AI tools had made them 20 percent faster, on average. In reality, though, the AI-aided tasks ended up being completed 19 percent slower than those completed without AI tools.

I went Obsidian → Logseq → Emacs.

Trying out Guix for the first time! Waiting for packages to download.

I'm a long time Arch user. Any tips?!

I've heard there aren't as many packages for Guix as other distros, but I was thinking Flatpak and distrobox will help bridge the gap for me.

I'm trying to install some Flatpak apps on my newly installed Guix system.

I found this link https://flatpak.org/setup/GNU%20Guix which says I should these commands.

$ guix install flatpak
$ flatpak --user remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

After running those commands, I restarted my computer, just to be safe.

Then I logged into GNOME again and noticed I did not have GNOME software center installed. Normally that's how I install Flatpaks...

I tried installing some stuff through the CLI with this command.

$ flatpak install --user flathub com.logseq.Logseq

and that seems to have worked, but Logseq isn't showing up in my app launcher.

I can manually launch it with flatpak run com.logseq.Logseq, but it would be great if I could launch it from the normal app launcher.

So... are flatpaks supported in Guix? Or am I missing some configuration?

Hello! How are folks self-hosting online storage, similar to Google Drive?

Some options I've found:

• https://filebrowser.org/ (maintenance-only mode)
• https://www.seafile.com/en/home/ (weird disk layout scares me)
• https://tinyfilemanager.github.io/ (i like simple!)
• https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash

A bunch more: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted?tab=readme-ov-file#file-transfer---web-based-file-managers

I mainly just need basic file management features. I don't plan to share files outside of my tailscale VPN. I do need to support multiple users though.

I'm not considering Nextcloud because that seems too big. I'm also not considering syncthing for this project because I don't want copies on multiple devices.

I'm currently just using ssh+nautilus and that's worked great for just me, but something similar to Google Drive would be easier to onboard my family.

Hello!

Thanks for lemmy.today. 🙇 It's great!

Mainly I was just wondering: is it normal for one's lemmy account to slow down as the number of subs goes up? Currently, I'm subbed to almost 200 communities. When I load my home page at lemmy.today, the page always loads in almost 10 seconds.

My home page is set to Subscribed and Hot.

Does anyone know if there's anything I can do to decrease the homepage load time?
