Hi Guix team, I didn't find any documentation describing a way to use an alternative file for the offload settings instead of the default /etc/guix/machines.scm. Did i missed something ? Is there other files that are put under /etc ? It could be problematic for users who use custom store/sta

Hi everyone, It was a pleasure meeting many of you yesterday at the GNU Guix meet-up! Some people expressed an interest in PGP key signing, but unfortunately we didn't have time to do that on Friday. In addition, I'm one of those who did not register in time for the FOSDEM key signing event, so
