I couldn't find existing reports regarding the GNOME File Sharing issue, so I went ahead and filed a new one:

What would be a good way to share files from a Guix System in a domestic environment to any device on the local network (mobiles, TVs, Winds and Macs)?

In «GNOME Settings → Sharing» I see two options, but trying out the «Media Sharing» option (which focuses on image, audio and video) doesn't work.

GNOME Help says you have to install Rygel for this to work. But even though I have that package in my Guix system configuration, sharing still doesn't work as intended.

And I don't see any rygel service (system or home) in Guix documentation. So I guess this is just a missing integration in Guix System (?)

Launching rygel manually from a terminal does activate file sharing, but that doesn't feel ergonomic (compared to Debian, where this feature just works).

Ideally, I'd like other people in the network to easily find the shared files in their file browsers or directly in their multimedia applications. Sharing any kind of file would be nice, not just media files.

I've been a Nix user for quite some time, but Guix was always an alluring alternative, that (until recently) didn't really feel mature enough.

After its 1.5.0 release, I figured to finally give it a serious shot and gathered my thoughts in this post.

Expect a wild ride of debugging issues, misreading documentation, meeting cool new people, and ultimately coming out triumphant with a working declarative install.

LLMs Are Taking the Joy Out of Our Lives

My not exactly high opinion towards LLMs and GenAI.

Me (to my son): We were driving so much for soccer this weekend, I should have had you bring your [#guix based] laptop in the car, and you could have worked on the english homework you needed to do.

Him: But I wouldn't have had WiFi.

Friends, if you think chromebooks aren't about learned helplessness and dependency on Google, you are wrong.
