Not if the text above them reads like my question was
misunderstood (I've read it like you thought I wanted to ping the VM
itself, which is something I absolutely don't want to).
With this additional information, I will look into the reference later.

So you're telling me that the Guix system created VMs are too simplistic
to be easily handled such simple tasks/testings and I'd be better off
running my system from a git checkout at this moment in time, so I can
apply new services and rebuild the running system with them?
