happens to most of us at some point.

somewhat sad to read how this veteran of the community seems unable to give further pointers om what is currently defunct (with the coolbook instructions and the resize service). i'd expect them to at least open issues on codeberg or even suggest a pull request

@Zeppo@sh.itjust.works Oh lol, the term magazine is weird to me and it not being an actual magazine.

oh, you mean mag in an mbin sense. I used to use kbin so I recall that. I am on Lemmy, so we call it a community vs. magazine. I thought you meant you attached a photo of a magazine.

I’m a n00b to Mbin so if that isn’t right let me know.

@Zeppo@sh.itjust.works

@Zeppo@sh.itjust.works Guix

Which mag?

Why are two machine configs needed? Could be in the article but I missed it. Is it because you need to in the time between setup DNS for your new server?

Maybe I'm too smooth brain to understand, but why not just use guix? I could see the use of nix derivations translated to the guix store, but why the other way around?

This is lovely

@csantosb the world keeps getting weirder by the day... What the heck is that? 🫪

No problem at all. I edited the post just to prevent confusion. :-)

@provectus Oh yes, that makes total sense, sorry for the misguided suggestion.

The goal of this guide is for those who want to use GNU Guix/Hurd without using GNU Guix/Linux or the Guix package manager. I will try to add your info, though. Thanks.

@provectus The easiest option to create a Hurd image with Guix is by running ‘guix system image -t hurd64-qcow2 config.scm’, where ‘config.scm’ contains an OS configuration for the Hurd 👇guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/hThis cross-compiles the entire image contents, so you have to restrict yourself to packages that can be cross-built. A good starting point is:codeberg.org/guix/guix/src/bra

Love it!

Awesome

Most informative comparison I've read !

Kudos to the author! It’s unusual to see posts like this that are pleasant to read and dive deep into not one but two systems!I have a clearer view of flakes now and how it corresponds (or not) to the things I know better. :-)

@csantosb Funny hack!💡 Did you know that the “abomination” initially went the other way around? 👇archive.softwareheritage.org/b

I kind of assumed that nix store had all - or at least most - of the packages that guix had.
