Tried building Mixin Messenger for Linux (v2.2.0) from source — ran into a missing breakpad_client error. No buildable path without upstream fix.

Worked til 1 AM, age 43, feel like shit. Apologies if I am combative. I'm usually more mellow when well-rested.
GM! nostr. So. What are you building today?
Any chance that would get acquired for 31949.69 BTC?
($3 billion USD)
llm doesn't want to do the drake meme. just keeps on getting the hair (all of the hair) wrong. ;)

🧱 Bitcoin Core Reproducible Build: Web of Trust Diagram
[1] Official Source Release (v29.0)
|
|---> Signed Git tag by maintainer (e.g., Glozow)
| |
| `---> Tag is GPG-signed by: F19F5FF2B0589EC341220045BA03F4DBE0C63FB4
|
[2] Independent Builders Clone Repo
|
|---> hebasto ---> git checkout v29.0
| ---> guix build
| ---> generate hash + .buildinfo + manifest
| ---> sign the hash with GPG
|
|---> fanquake ---> same steps
|
|---> others ---> same steps
|
[3] Submit signatures to guix.sigs
|
`---> Each signature (.sig) matches the same commit/hash
|
`---> Verified: Everyone built the exact same binary from the same source
[4] Anyone can verify:
|
|---> Compare hashes of downloaded binaries
|---> Check `.sig` files against public GPG keys of signers
|
`---> Trust is built because:
Multiple builders + identical outputs + verified GPG signatures
AHA! So this is why!!!
Ubuntu 24.04 breaks GUIX setup when trying to build Bitcoin Core Desktop
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/guix/+bug/2064115
I'm exhausted, especially with the added stress of this sordid heat and the holy week chanting around us in loudspeaker.
The changes that the LLM has dug me a deeper hole. If it's reproducible I shouldn't have to modify any of the scripts within the repository.
Perhaps, I should just follow the instructions for the general build here:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/cdc32994feadf3f15df3cfac5baae36b4b011462/contrib/guix/README.md?plain=1#L56 - builds all variants - takes a long time.
which spawned a bunch of new problems:
$ sudo env FORCE_DIRTY_WORKTREE=1 HOSTS="x86_64-linux-gnu" ./contrib/guix/guix-build
Checking that we can connect to the guix-daemon...
Hint: If this hangs, you may want to try turning your guix-daemon off and on
again.

Suggested fix
# 1. Ensure daemon is running
sudo systemctl restart guix-daemon
# 2. Ensure you own everything
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/work/builds/desktop/bitcoin
