Creating website and blogging in Org mode
I discovered the power of Org mode when I started to work on my Ph.D. thesis which is being entirely written in Org mode too. Indeed, one can easily export an Org mode document to an HTML page or a PDF document typeset in LaTeX. Recently, I committed myself to overhaul my personal website and decided to produce it using Org. So, in this post, I detail the whole process step by step.
Configuring cups printing service on Guix
Service configuration on GNU Guix is quiet different compared to mainstream Linux distribution. In this post, I address the process of configuring the cups printing service on Guix.
Installing Python modules on Guix
On GNU Guix, software binaries are stored under /gnu/store/ which
is a read-only file system. Therefore, when installing a Python module, such as
gcvb, simply invoking pip install does not work as it can not
access the Python directories in /gnu/store/ for writing. In this post, I
tackle all the issues faced during the installation of the gcvb benchmarking
module but, it may help you install other Python modules as well.
Facing issues while installing Guix
I have recently performed a clean installation of the GNU Guix Linux distribution on a new laptop computer. During the setup process, I have experienced some serious issues. In this post, I investigate their causes and propose methods for fixing them.
Using AddressSanitizer (ASan) in a CMake project
AddressSanitizer (ASan) is a memory error detector for the C and C++ languages. It has been included in compilers such as GCC and Clang for quite some time now. Although the official Wiki page provides a very straightforward guide on how to use ASan in a general case, I could not find a good example of ASan being used in a CMake project. This is what this post is about.
Installing proprietary firmware on Guix
GNU Guix is an open-source Linux distribution and the Linux kernel version it uses does not allow to load proprietary firmware by default. Although, it is possible. In this post, I explain how to get work proprietary firmware on Guix.
