As another step to reduce my interaction with tech-oligarchy, I am migrating my personal website from #Microslop #Github to a smolass VPS.

But because I simply can't do one thing at a time and just get to desired results in a straight path like a normal person, I am doing this with as much Guix as I possibly can; so far with a #Guix built #container that runs on non-guixos VPS (cool right?)

Although I am certain nobody ever visited my site and I barely ever post there (trying to change that), but in case you subscribed to some #RSS feed of mine, I apologize for the breakage.

A question for all #Guix folks on fedi: is there a way to make building the derivations faster? The machine I use has 20 cores, and only one of them is used 100% and the rest are usually around 7-8%.

There are many things that needs updating on my machine (including guix, pacman, flatpak, Emacs packages, ...) and by far Guix is the slowest despite having:

```sh
guix upgrade --cores=$(nproc --ignore 1)
```

On a packagé pour guix le package R qui permet d'extraire de grist et d'envoyer vers cette plateforme des flux de données et de les traiter dans R (https://github.com/spyrales/gristapi/) . C'était une première pour nous. Merci à @civodul et R. Garbage pour leur aide !

I was never able to remember any #Guile command line parsing API, so I did the natural thing to do: I created another one from scratch.

the API is very small, enough to fit in my head. reach out if you have any feedback. I think this can be useful in many small scripts, maybe also the ones generated from #Guix program-file gexps.

Nowadays, I almost never use a separate terminal as I cover all my use cases with vterm/eshell inside #emacs. While vterm is good, it has some quite rough edges here and there.

Recently, I was playing with #ghostty and it was super performant, standard complaint and just felt really nice. I guess ghostel can become my goto choice, when we properly package ghostty for #Guix.

I'm really glad to find this project, thanks to @daviwil for boosting the post 👇
