One day, one day, someone will create an open source DOCSIS modem+router with enough RAM for other services. Pretty much like Fritzbox, but actually open source instead of whatever they're doing now.

hows the new router?

Obigatory

I do love it, I just wish it was easier to update package recipes. I have open patches since over a year.

Nix syntax is just... strange, and undiscoverable to me. Coming from a emacs/lisp background, Scheme was just easy to understand, and there was no ambiguity in contructing grammars out of thin air.

guix pull - system reconfigure - reboot process took about three to four hours each time,

That's exceptionally long. Could it be that you were building every tool from scratch, and weren't using any binary servers?

That sounds like a BIOS issue. I sometimes get these on my laptop where I installed an EFI partition but my laptop was in some legacy mode, and I need to fiddle with my boot options and disable various features until the system "sees" the boot partition in the same way the OS "saw" it

N900 gang represent

Good enough for me! I'm not looking for a perfect solution, I can work with incomplete products with weak parts, as long as those parts are readily replaceable

Is it not possible to print a plastic tape storage device?

it may be because you were using the default libre kernel, which is missing lots of microcode for your drivers. You need to add a substitute binary server that points to non-guix, which you can then use to supplant the libre kernel with the mainline one.
