Hello Guix World,
I recently upgraded, and on reboot found that the Gnome Shell extension Dash to
Dock was no longer working properly.
Instead of displaying my favorite applications on the bottom dock, it only
displays the "applications" icon. Running applications are also not displayed.

Recently I had to rebuild my Guix OS (ummm it was practice for installing Guix,
not at all being too overconfident with `guix system --delete-generations` and
screwing up a shepherd start service so that shepherd got into an infinite loop
in an edge case...). Because the

Hi all,
In case it's useful, here's my `traceroute`, would this be helpful for Guix?
I erased some internal IP addresses and omit a few bytes off the source
country. After hop 25 `traceroute` couldn't find anything anymore. I annotated
the IP addresses to country map.

Hi guix users,
It strikes me that a better course of action here would be, rather than
providing a warning that might not be noticed by the user, to remove the

`password-authentication? #f`.
That way if I have set up

Frankly, MD RAID is incomplete without checksum.

Now, LVM2 can actually set up MD RAID with dm-integrity, however:
