The problem I want to solve here is how to keep track of my configuration files in a sane manner. This will accomplish versioning, ease of provisioning, and make it simple to handle configuration that GuixSD does not take care of for me (yet :). I’m going to be using git, stow and make for this. These should be available in your package manager, or you could install the guix package manager and use it from there.

As I’m reading through Deep Green Permaculture’s article on ethics I realize this as I get to the section about care of the earth, while they are talking about everything being interconnected and interdependent systems, earth, microorganisms, trees, animals, clouds, climate - everything.

It just occurred to me that the oil pockets¹ has a function². And it makes me wonder what happens when the pockets, now without raw oil, should start doing something? Do we have any idea what their function(s) are?

I’ve been realizing I often have something I would like to write and put on, but it’s so unusual for me that I never actually get around to doing it.

So my previous laptop died during christmas 2017, so I needed a new machine. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a fairly recent macbook pro (mid 2012). The good: it’s got decent hardware, is sturdy, allright battery and the screen is the best I’ve ever had. The bad: it is not particularly freedom respecting, and might prove difficult to get some hardware to work well.

I’ve been using fpm2 for some of my passwords the last couple of years. It’s not the best, and as far I’m aware upstream development has ceased, so changing to something better is definitely on the agenda (also known as the-evergrowing-list-of-things-I-should-have-done-last-year).

Folkeopplysningen gikk i sesong 3, episode 5 igjennom økologisk landbruk. Episode beskrivelsen sier:

Har lagd en enkel howto og oversikt over trekjernebed (hügelkultur). Den er lagt under en Creative Commons attribusjons lisens, så del den og bruk den.

Been looking at Guix System Distribution (GuixSD or just Guix - though that is also the name of the packagemanager…) for some time now, and just recently got a chance to start testing and implementing Guix on a computer that will soon, I hope, be part of the browniehive infrastructure – possibly even replace some of it…

Det er mange meninger i luften fra tid til annen om hva økologisk dyrking er, om det er sunt og om det er bærekraftig. Dette er store komplekse temaer, men jeg tenkte å rydde litt i noen av begrepene og si litt om hvordan vi gjør på Bamble Andelsgård i den daglige driften.
