#ContainerDays London was great!
Thank you for the interesting talks and inspiring exchange.
I will give my talk "Beyond #Docker Builds: #Declarative, #Reproducible and #Secure #OCI #Containers with #Nix" once again next week, on February 19th at the #DevOps #Meetup in Barcelona.
https://www.arik-grahl.de/talks/devops-bcn-february-2026/
There are still a few seats available: https://www.meetup.com/devops-bcn-group/events/312852703
What a great first day at #ContainerDays London.
Looking forward to see you tomorrow at 09:40 at my talk "Beyond #Docker Builds: #Declarative, #Reproducible and #Secure #OCI #Containers with #Nix".
Flathub now testing for reproducibility and the Reproducibility team helping identify software projects that will fail to build in 2038 when the UNIX Epoch will no longer fit into a signed 32-bit integer are two of several highlights in January's Reproducible Builds report at https://reproducible-builds.org/reports/2026-01/

After dithered images my next obsession is 'workflow managers' 🎈Yesterday night I binged some videos from #riffomonas about #reproducible research (CC248 to CC256). He used #snakemake , which looked very nice! Now I also looked up #nextflow It looks fierce!
I am going to learn one of them, and snakemake currently feels more approachable... But what do you think? Any advice? I want to use it in my #bioinformatics #pipeline s; I mainly write in R
#rstats #tidyverse

The recording of my #fosdem talk is now available!

Looks like all #reproducible builds of my three apps on #fdroid are broken. And I have no idea why. ☹️
Well after quite some months a new release has landed on main branch with git commit: https://codeberg.org/stagex/stagex/commit/f33076ccbcf484eee52cc6994a96dfa89a607b8c
With this release #StageX brings more freedom to everybody by using `natively` #llvm to build the complete tree (full source #bootstrapped and #reproducible as always), initializing the era of cross-compiling "easily" for any other CPU architecture.If that doesn't excites you, then get prepared for other even better things coming into the next release!
See you at #FOSSDEM26 for stickers!
@momo hi!
Yes you can see what's available as a package locally using the 'guix search' command or the package browser:
https://packages.guix.gnu.org/search/?query=clang
In Guix 'substitutes' is the term we use for #nix precompiled binaries. Most people use them. You can check if a substitute is available like this:
guix weather --substitute-urls=https://ci.guix.gnu.org --system=x86_64-linux clang@21.1.5
The installer asks the user if they want to enable substitutes so it's easy to set-up.
The manual has more
details on ways to enable other channels and substitute servers. It also covers how to check a build against multiple substitute servers for #reproducible software and potentially a #security #supplychain indication.
Interested in #declarative computing, #linux or #reproducible software? #Guix is going to be at #FOSDEM for lots of goodness on #guile #scheme and the #nix approach to packaging #FreeSoftware - check out the talks various people are giving:
https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2026/meet-guix-at-fosdem-2026/
As usual the Declarative and Minimalist computing track will have lots of interesting #lisp #spritely and #nrepl talks!
In case you haven't heard it already: we at @fsi have started packaging software, to make awesome #FLOSS available to you #electronics and #chip #designers
Highlight so far include klayout and magic, which are now easily available to you #Guix users through simple invokations, like:
guix shell klayout -- klayout
or
guix shell magic -- magic
#GNU Guix not only allows for most up-to-date packages, #reproducible development and build environments and an absolute dedication to #freesoftware, it also eases contribution, extension and enhancement of already available solutions.
Check it out! Don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions!

We built a containerised workflow that handles QC, doublet detection, CITE‑seq for scRNA‑seq data, and outputs a ready‑to‑use #Seurat object. One command, #reproducible results—ideal for labs without dedicated bioinformatics support.
#Workshop Announcement:
#Galaxy is an online platform for #reproducible #workflows. Learn how to create your own workflow and see if this is a tool that you can use for your own work.
This workshop is an entrance level, hands-on workshop. Bring your own laptop if you would like to type and click along or follow the demo on the screen.
The workshop is organize by Kees den Heijer and Mirela Minkova from SURF.

There is a #bounty of $1000 to solve for #reproducible #rust to build x86_64-linux-gnu libstd for rust 1.91 with #stagex and be able to compile a dynamically linked rust binary with it that runs on #Debian.
Would you be interested to take the challenge?
@codemonkeymike
Awesome 🔥❤️
Also instead of downloading an ISO like that, any way to build the exact ISO locally?😁
So that u can just push the flake and I'll fetch the latest one with caching.
Not sure if even the official nixos is doing this.

A minimal, declarative setup for productive Rust 🦀 hacking on Emacs + Guix
I noticed there was a blatant lack of resources and documentation on this particular setup.
With a tiny manifest and a small Emacs configuration, you get a powerful, reproducible, elegant Rust development environment.
