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
versioning and releases. I am mostly concerned about applications rather than
libraries in this article but I am sure some of this would apply to libraries
as well.

Monal IM: Monal IM – project moved
We recently started to migrate the App from Anu Pokharel‘s Apple account to Thilo Molitor‘s Apple account.

Coming along with this transition from the old developer team to the new one is our new clean website at https://monal-im.org/. From now on, this blog will not be used for Monal anymore.
