I run Guix System on my personal laptop and Project Bluefin on my work machine.

Guix is even easier to get started with now thanks to the Guix Packager , a web UI for writing Guix package definitions.

Project Bluefin auto-updates thanks to its use of container images deliver system updates. It’s also just a great platform to get started writing containerized apps, since it ships with rootless Podman by default and you can easily add new developer tools using just commands.

For something simple that just needs a bind mount like

services:
  app:
    build:
      context: .
      target: base
    volumes:
      - ./debaser_studio:/opt/app-root/src/debaser_studio/debaser_studio
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
      - "8000:8000"
    user: default

I haven’t found any issues. Do you have more complex needs?

I use Logseq for everything. I’ve found the more you throw into it the more useful it becomes since your touch points are so frequent and that gets you thinking through and exploring your graph more. I’ve yet to use any of the data query features but I’ve heard they’re incredibly powerful.

Whiteboards are just a fantastic way for modeling a topic or themes you know you want to turn into a deliverable when the how is uncertain.

Now that I’ve finished the first draft of an article on setting up rootless Podman on Guix System, I’m using and building out a set of tools to support a new article covering an all Red Hat stack from inner loop to CI.

So far, it’s

• OpenShift for the platform services run on
• Podman for my local container engine
• Podman Compose for inner loop development
• Tekton Pipelines for CI
• Shipwright for building container images with Buildah in CI

You can use Git, Syncthing or any other FOSS sync tool of your choice.

Logseq is FOSS and easily one of the best notetaking apps out there. It’s got whiteboards, interlinking at the block level, a big ecosystem of extensions and multiple panes so you can derive context as you write.

It’s my choice for the majority of writing I do in my day to day and hasn’t let me down once. My only wish list feature is multiplayer but that’s coming soon.
