Hello everyone,

How do you guys handle programming in languages that want to package imports "their" way? I'm mainly referring to things like Python, Golang, or Rust. I'm in the middle of a small Golang project and need to import a uuid library that guix doesn't package on it's own. I could make the package which isn't difficult but that leads me down the tension between "Go project is more portable if I use go get ..." vs "Project is more reproducible if I use Guix".

How do you all do it?

Hello fellow Guix users,

I want to decrypt a LUKS-encrypted device from a keyfile that is stored in a USB drive upon boot. The goal of this setup is to have the USB drive act like a key, and the computer cannot be decrypted without it. The process goes something like this:

1. Insert USB drive containing keyfile.
2. Boot computer.
3. USB drive is automatically mounted.
4. LUKS volumes are decrypted using the keyfile from the USB.

The Guix manual mentions that this keyfile can be declared in luks-device-mapping as an argument called, #:key-file. However, it does not go into further detail on how to make this file available during boot:

Key file is not stored in the store and needs to be available at the given location at the time of the unlock attempt.

Does anyone have a working configuration? Or can at least point me in the right direction?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just been trying out using guix as a package manager on Debian and have a question: I've been able to install and run GIMP using Guix but it isn't picking up my plugins. Why is this, and what would I need to do to make them work?

Thinking of doing this....

First one's my (in my opinion) poor attempt at maintaining some sense of gradient depths.

And just solid colors.

Lemmy won't let me upload SVGs so here's some PNGs.

If it's a thing anyone here wanted.
