Switching to GNU Guix: a beginner’s perspective

Want to run something a little more exotic on your server? How about GNU Guix?

It has been a month since migrating my home server to GNU Guix. Managing OS state declaratively through Git has eliminated configuration drift, and Guile Scheme provides a cohesive environment that complements Emacs. While adapting to a smaller package ecosystem

#WritersCoffeeClub Sep 4: If you work digitally, what application do you use?

I use #Scrivener. It allows me to drag and drop individual scenes, it has commenting and versioning functions, and it can export to many different file formats and page formats.

STOP DOING SWAP PARTITIONS

HARD DRIVES WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO ACT LIKE RAM

Week 1: UNIX History

We cover the early days at Bell Labs, USL vs BSDi, the birth of the BSDs and #Linux, and how we got from Ken Thompson playing "Space Travel" on a PDP-7 to Unix running on your phone, fridge, and TV.

Scroll along through it all here: https://levenez.com/unix/unix.pdf

If you build software for #Linux that can easily work as a portable executable, just distribute it as an appimage. Don't just make a .deb (or, rarely, .rpm) package and call it a day.

A simple RAM wipe isn't enough in high-risk scenarios.

Forensic tools can extract data remanence.

But... Let's talk about how PH4NTXM stealthily does the job in the background.

The RAM Seeding Engine runs continuously as a background daemon, locking just 1% of the total system memory via mlock. The magic lies in how it exploits kernel page recycling. By strategically timing allocations and forcing the kernel to cycle through dirty pages, that 1% footprint actively overwrites freed memory segments with live cryptographic noise and dummy network fragments.

You get active anti-forensics protection against cold-boot attacks and memory dumps, with zero lag.

#ph4ntxm #linux #debian #os #live #privacy #security #opsec #infosec #research #tech #technology

Guys, for the sake of the story, PH4NTXM is the first Greek "hacking" distribution. Focused on security, privacy and op-sec.

If we have any Greek friends here around PH4NTXM, I'd love to put up some engagement!

Omarchy is another example of the community defining the Linux distro, for better or for worse..

#Linux #Omarchy

The debate over whether you can slap some rebranding and change a few custom defaults and themes and call it a distro ended way back with Hannah Montana Linux. That bar is very low. The community reflection behind the project is far more important and telling.

Conway's Law is very much alive and kicking.

Curl runs everywhere!

You can learn a lot about it if you read in everythingcurl

cURL (pronounced like "curl",[6] /kɜːrl/) is a free and open-source computer program for transferring data to and from Internet servers. It can download resources identified by URLs from a web server over HTTP and supports a variety of other network protocols, URI schemes, multiple versions of HTTP, and proxying. The project consists of a library (libcurl) and command-line tool (curl), which have been widely ported to different computing platforms. It was created by Daniel Stenberg, who is still the lead developer of the project.

I just lost my job today, so here we go..

I'm a ~30 years Sysadmin/DevOps/Server Shepard/Graybeard whatever its called now UNIX nerd.

Looking for work doing UNIX'y stuff. I mostly do automation, and have avoided working with AI and Kubernetes (though I have a bit of k8s experience at two jobs, I just prefer "the old way")

Chef, Puppet, Cfengine, Ansible, Shell scripts, etc.

I've built Linux distributions, and automation tools. Having worked at Redhat, TurboLinux, Penguin Computing, Salesforce, and Chef.

Built and maintained monitoring systems, checks, and lived the on-call life.

Built and managed CI systems, and Pipelines.

I've written and maintained software in Ruby, Python, and Shell. I've dabbled in just about every other programming language you'll find on a UNIX system.

I have spent a lot of time with *BSD, Solaris, IRIX, and Linux, and to a lesser extent HPUX, and AIX.

If its sysadmin work on a UNIX, I've likely done it.

#getfedihired #unix #linux

i surely need to shift my focus on some computer related stuff: most of my (really limited) energy is lately being spent worrying about this or that technology being enshittified with #ai/#llm (even #linux now, the first weapon i wielded against big tech in the past)

i will try to focus my energy towards actionable steps and technologies that don't are better for the planet and me

as soon as i will have a small break from some personal stuff, i think i will try some #netbsd or #haikuOS

Ce schéma illustre comment transformer un ancien téléphone Android en bureau Linux accéléré par GPU ou en serveur domotique à l'aide de Termux, présentant deux chemins d'utilisation possibles : l'un pour un environnement de bureau complet et l'autre pour contrôler des appareils connectés via Home Assistant.

@KingmaYpe @clickhere @GrapheneOS @e_mydata @murena Yes, and #Linux is very happy with #AI code contributions. /e/OS is based on #LineageOS, also happy with AI code contributions. So if you want to avoid AI, you need to use a different operating system.

Do you use #OpenZFS? Do you ship a product or service with #ZFS in it? Do you work on a storage- or filesystem-related project and are interested in how ZFS could make it better? Are you interested in the future of software-defined storage?

If any of these are you, you should consider presenting at the OpenZFS User and Developer Summit 2026! Our CfP is open until September 11, and we'd love to hear from you!

Maybe it's just the same history as with #Linux ?
#FreeBSD has its own foundation but, as with Linux, both are US based. These foundations have their sponsors. Some of them are US #bigtech. And they are basically pushing towards LLMs.

Time to stop using anything that comes from US ? Fork ?

Honestly I'm not surprised. I even expected this to happen sooner or later.

Btop - das bessere htop für das Terminal

Eine detaillierte Einführung in btop, den ressourcenschonenden Systemmonitor mit Spiel-Menü-System und GPU-Unterstützung.

Told someone I'd rip their book of music CDs for them... and discovered my ripper software is unusable. It rips a track or two and crashes. Fan-fucking-tastic. Alright, with Audex out of comission, I'm open to suggestions. I'd prefer something that fits nicely in to KDE, but getting this project done is higher priority.
I have k3b, but I can't find where to change the format and location of the ripper.
