I'm feeling better about the x220 full-HD mod chip overall now that I've read more about it and watched some installation videos. there is one solder joint on a very tiny capacitor that still scares me and I need to get a finer soldering iron tip to do it properly. also I misunderstood the docking situation. I'll still be able to use an external monitor with my dock, but the *second* external monitor port (which my dock doesn't even have) will be non-functional because that's what the mod chip takes over. furthermore, someone developed a coreboot patch to configure the overridden display interface as the default display and turn off the original display interface that becomes unused after modding, which makes the whole setup "just work" without any strange quirks like an active display that does nothing.

GNU Guix 1.0 is out!

https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/blog/2019/gnu-guix-1.0.0-released/

Proud to have been a part of the project since 2013. I haven't been active in awhile, but I have contributed a lot of packages, a Linux container implementation, a build system for programs written in Ruby, importer tools for PyPI and RubyGems, the 'guix environment' and 'guix publish' tools, and probably some small stuff I've forgotten.

that @librelounge episode about instant messaging was really great! a lot of nostalgia and feels were had while listening.

so what the universe is saying is... if I write a game in lisp that fits the ludum dare theme... I can submit it to both jams.

oh damn ludum dare starts tonight as well. what a coincidence.

oh hey there is a lisp game jam going on. totally missed it because I haven't done any lisping in quite some time now. 3 days remain! per usual, technomancy is making something cool.

tl;dr - got close but stuck on an ssh issue.

@cwebber ha, and you used studlify-region in the implementation!

@cwebber lol I thought you were making this up but sure enough it works! emacs is the best.

haha I was not expecting to be mentioned by name several times in this FOSDEM talk by @cwebber:

@cwebber worse is butter

@garbados the problem I've had with lisp is that it has ruined all other programming languages for me. but no one will pay me to write lisp.

Haunt 0.2.2 released. just some bug fixes from the past year.

Haunt is a static site generator written in #guile #scheme

Discussions (using the term loosely) about software licensing are always full of developers bitter about the GPL because they feel entitled to using other people's code in their proprietary product and get mad when they can't. I have a feeling that if I wanted to use their proprietary code in my free project the reaction would be different.

@cwebber @clacke @jakob @moonman I have a Linux container implementation in there, for example. Lots of useful libraries in Guix.

Nailed it!:

"Container solutions like Docker get us part of the way there. In a sense you could argue that containerization is precisely the multi-tenancy solution I'm heading toward, except that it borrows heavily from the legacy path of virtualization by treating system images like giant statically linked binaries."
