I have been meaning to take a look at #Radicle the peer-to-peer code hosting local-first git-based platform for quite some time...
I just could not get over the "curl | sh" installation method... or using a language specific package manager...
I know the world barely works this way anymore, but I still prefer to download packaged software from a trusted distro...
...yesterday I noticed that #Guix has radicle packaged!
Finally, I will get to explore this really cool project!!!

Apparently my account on codeberg is taking up 1.2GB for a handful of pull requests ... and my guess is that is nearly entirely the #Guix clone (as a local checkout uses a similar amount of space).
With the plan for #Guix to move to codeberg, this means people who do not have push access to guix.git on codeberg will likely go over the default quota just to be able to submit pull requests, presuming they do not use AGit workflow (which requires a bit of configuration)?

So sad to hear #OSUOSL is in a bit of a pinch...
They support so many free software projects that I work on, including #Debian and #ReproducibleBuilds and probably several more I did not even realize!
Please support those that support so many others if you can and spread the word!

Made a #MNTReform kernel for #Guix ... and used my MNT Reform2 rk3588 to build the kernel and successfully booted to #Debian !
With 32GB of ram, 8 moderately fast arm64 cores and an NVMe disk, it seems quite viable to run Guix.
Probably still missing some functionality, but the screen, mouse, keyboard, ethernet all work, at least!

Thanks @npub1mzh…dh9t for organizing those patches so nicely for the reform-debian-packages repository!

Speaking on the half-hour at @npub1qya…yqgd
My first go presenting "Re-Py-Ducible Builds"
So refreshing to be at a conference where everyone is wearing a mask!
