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

Maxime Buquet: Versioning
I finally took time to setup a forge and some old drafts turned up. I am
publishing one of them today as is even though it’s 4 years old
(2018-08-07T13:27:43+01:00). I’m not as grumpy as I was at the time but I
still think this applies.
Today I am grumpy at people’s expectation of a free software project, about

as well.
Today we were discussing ab … ⌘ Read more

Arnaud Joset: Updates: chatty server and HTTPAuthentificationOverXMPP
It’s been a long time since I updated this blog. It will be a short update post about two projects.
The first is chatty_server, a small XMPP bot I use to interact with my server. It allows me to get information about the CPU load, traffic, weather etc.
It also has a small feature to get reminder messages. There was a bug that allowed anyone to spam reminders. Anybody can add the bot to their rooster and could create random reminders t … ⌘ Read more

Dino: Stateless File Sharing: Async, Metadata with Thumbnails and some UI
AsyncAsynchronous programming is a neat tool, until you work with a foreign project in a foreign language using it.
