A #riddle. There are two pitfalls in this code. One cloaking the other. Can you see them?

#!/bin/bash # generate a random string of length '$bytes' using characters from # expression '$chars' generate_random_string() { local bytes=${1:-24} local chars=${2:-'A-Za-z0-9'} dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1 count=1111 2>/dev/null \ | tr --complement --delete "$chars" \ | sed --quiet 's/\(.\{'"$bytes"'\}\).*/\1/p' } # function generate_random_string is meant to be used in different # scripts in contexts like: # generating a random password echo "password = '$(generate_random_string)'" # generating a 64 byte seed base64 encoded echo "seed = '$(generate_random_string 86 'a-zA-Z0-9/+')=='"

It’s now possible to create a #Guix System instance where the default ‘guix’ command sees the channels of your choosing:
guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/h

This is particularly useful if you want to create a ready-to-use system image.

With a beautiful logo designed by the one, the only, the amazing @joel, I think Clew is almost ready to go into a public beta! 🎉

Just a few final touches to make.
