- their various projects including the <a href="https://xaos-project.github.io/">GNU XaoS</a>
- developer <a href="https://video.hardlimit.com/videos/watch/8c0fc4a3-574a-457a-88c2-2b018d590769;threadId=4612">Zoltán
- Kovács</a>,
- the current <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/">GNU Texinfo</a> maintainer
- <a href="https://video.hardlimit.com/videos/watch/a10761b7-f6e2-472a-be06-69b0bfbcfe9d">Gavin
- Smith</a>,
- the creator of the <a href="http://odin-lang.org/">Odin Programming language</a> gingerbill
- (interview is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdqjp6n50xo">here</a>), and the
- libre hardware developer of the <a href="https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro-desktop">3D printed
- laptop</a> creator <a href="http://rhombus-tech.net/">Luke
- Leighton</a> about his upcoming <a href="https://libre-soc.org/3d_gpu/">libre
- SOC/GPU/VPU</a>!</p><p>In a very small way, I helped the Guix Project by <a href="http://issues.guix.gnu.org/48912">committing a tiny
- documentation fix</a> for the
- <a href="https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org">bordeaux</a> new substitute server powered by the
- <a href="https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Guix-Services.html">Guix Build
- Cordinator</a>, which
- is some ways competes with <a href="http://guix.gnu.org/cuirass/">Cuirass</a>.</p><p>I thoroughly researched how to set up and host an email server with GNU Guix,
- <a href="https://dovecot.org/">dovecot</a>, and <a href="https://www.opensmtpd.org/">opensmtpd</a>. I
- can currently send email and receive email, but I have not properly set up
- dkimsigning just yet, though I did find <a href="https://framagit.org/tyreunom/system-configuration/-/blob/master/modules/services/mail.scm">this guix email
- config</a>
- that should really help me out! My goal is host email accounts to people who
- want to sponsor my interviews, programming, etc.</p><p>I also have a new GNU Guix System server! It's got 30GB of RAM, on a 3TB HDD.
- It's pretty legit! I'm setting up the static IP address in a few days. I've
- got lots of plans for it including a pubnix (public access unix system),
- <a href="https://libre.fm">libre.fm</a> server, nextcloud instance, mastodon, games, etc.</p><p>Do you have any ideas for what I should do with a GNU Guix System server? I'm
- all ears. Send me an email at jbranso AT dismail.de.</p><p>I'm also seeing a lot of people that are having a hard time installing GNU Guix
- System. I can sell basic desktop machines with 8GB of RAM on a 1TB or 2TB HHD
- for $225 before shipping. The desktop is a Dell Optiplex 7020 or 7010. Does
- that sound like something you would want? Then send me an email: jbranso AT
- gnucode.me.</p></div></article></section></main><footer><p>© 2020 Joshua Branson.
