No worries, thanks for sharing!

Very cool! Nicely written too, I appreciate the technical depth and examples.

If you like Linux distributions/systems with an emphasis on a single language and custom init systems, I’d encourage you to take a peek at GUIX. It has an init system written in scheme called shepherd.

I’d say, per your definition which I agree with BTW, GUIX falls on the distribution side of things.

Looks beautiful. Where’d you go?

Excellent! Sounds like fun.

Love the figurehead. What’s its name?

Where are you headed?

I saw one of these for the first time two weeks ago. So cool!

How’d she handle?

I imagine it depends on the type of battery and the usage, but if you have a battery meter you could measure it. Use the house bank for a day, measure the voltage, run the engine for an hour, measure it again. Looks like the number you want to get to is probably 12.8 V: https://naturesgenerator.com/blogs/news/lead-acid-battery-voltage-chart

Come on tiki bar, pull your bumpers when underway.

Nice to see a Guix mention! It’s in flux but I appreciate it’s motivation and the hard work being done. One language, kernel agnostic, functional to the core. It’s gained some traction with the reproducible research builds crowd. It always makes me think of The Rise of Worse is Better.

Beautiful

I’ve used Navionics too. I feel like OpenCPN is less intuitive but more configurable. In general I prefer free software so it was my first choice.

You can give OpenCPN a look: https://opencpn.org. It’s a nice chartplotter with lots of plugins.

Thank you!
