Being a New Englander, I used to get a cawfee from dunkin every morning before work, then I met my wife and she introduced me to french pressed cawfee and I’ve never gone to dunkin’ since.

Totally, since being able to compile from source is very much a security issue.

I jpst googled it and got these steps (haven’t tried them yet):

To set up a Nix service in your Guix configuration, you need to enable the service in your configuration file, typically located at /etc/config.scm. You can refer to the Guix documentation for detailed instructions on how to properly configure and manage services.

Step one: Open config file

Step 2: Enable nix service

(use-modules (gnu))

(operating-system
  ...
  (services
   (cons* (service
            (nix-service)
            (nix-configuration
             (nix-channel "https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-23.11"))
            )
          ...)))

Save the file and reconfigure:

sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm

After reconfiguration, verify that the Nix service is running correctly by checking the service status:

systemctl status nix-daemon

Additional Notes:

• Ensure you are using the latest stable version of Guix to avoid compatibility issues.

• If you encounter any problems, consult the Guix documentation for troubleshooting tips.

• The Nix service allows you to use Nix packages alongside Guix, providing flexibility in package management.

Hope this helps!

No I didn’t do anything in my config. You can though and it seems like a better less kludgy way to do it, I haven’t done that yet. If I ever figure it out I’ll let you know.

uhh, no, I’d love that actually. whatever they hate the most, do it please. if they complain after, double it and repeat until morale improves.

Yeah because if they hate it, it’s probably benefical for us!

People really need to stop giving a fuck about what “businesses” think about political candidates, and anything in general.

to install nix succesfully on my laptop I had to do the following steps:

guix install nix

nix-channel --list

if nixpkgs is not in channel then add

nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable

sudo nix-channel --update --verbose

now change the group and ower of /nix

cd /nix/

sudo chown -R {your user name} ./var

sudo chown -R {your user name} ./store

sudo chgrp -R users ./var

sudo chgrp -R users ./store

now update the channels

nix-channel --update --verbose

################################

then install say firefox

nix-env -iA nixpkgs.firefox

I use nix for any packages I can’t get from guix repos. So that’s an option too.
