wsl-vpnkit: Internet for WSL2 distros behind a VPN
I’m still alive. 👋 Today, at work, I discovered a nice little tool for WSL2. On my work laptop I need to use Cisco AnyConnect to connect to the corporate network. Unfortunately this blocks Internet access in Windows Subsystem for Linux VMs (at least in the Ubuntu VM, I tried to use for some Docker stuff). I tried a lot of different hacks and workarounds, but none worked. Until I found wsl-vpnkit. It just works. 😄 ⌘ Read more

@prologic@twtxt.net At the end he says something in Zulu. But that of course is not a real conversation. @movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, I didn’t know either that there are also non-clicks, too. But making use of at least vovels makes total sense, they appear to be quite universal. There’s also Ubuntu, however, I didn’t know that this is in fact Zulu, too. I just knew it’s an African word. Just looked it up when you came around the corner with Icinga.

@benk@kwiecien.us Ubuntu is being similarly mean to me. “Can’t upgrade X because Y depends on older version. Can’t update Y because there’s a dependency problem”. I’m pretty sure the dependency problem would be solved with an upgrade, but I can’t perform one…

I fixed my now-year-long semi-intermittent sound problem, & the explanation is compellingly stupid: sometimes when ubuntu upgrades sound driver modules it doesn’t make the /dev/snd tree user-writable, & pulse runs as the logged-in user.
It seems like every time I reboot, Ubuntu manages to forget about another piece of hardware I have. First it was the USB controller, then the wifi (still not fixed), and now it’s my sound card.
