Sideloading Android apps on Windows 11
It’s really impressive how easy it is to sideload apps on the WSA (Windows Subsystem for Android). ⌘ Read more
Although there are definitely reasons to hate Windows, there are also reasons to like Windows 11: Linux GUI apps, Android apps, winget package manager and improved window tiling. It would be even better, when one wouldn’t need to toogle all the privacy and telemety settings first… ⌘ Read more

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

Gajim: Gajim 1.4.7
Gajim 1.4.7 brings performance improvements, better file previews, and many bug fixes. Thanks for all your reports!
Multiple issues with Gajim’s file preview have been fixed. If you want to disable file previews entirely, there is now a setting in Gajim’s preferences.
For people with many contacts in their contact list, this release will bring a significant performance improvement 🚀
Furthermore, notifications on Windows should not appear in the taskbar anymore.
Fixes … ⌘ Read moreI’m trying to switch from Konversation to irssi. Let’s see how that goes. Any irssiers out there who can recommend specific settings or scripts? I already got myself trackbar.pl and nickcolor.pl as super-essentials. Also trying window_switcher.pl. Somehow my custom binds for Ctrl+1/2/3/etc. to switch to window 1/2/3/etc. doesn’t do anything: { key = "^1"; id = "change_window"; data = "1"; } (I cannot use the default with Alt as this is handled by my window manager). Currently, I’m just cycling with Ctrl+N/P. Other things to solve in the near future:
- better, more colorful and compact theme (just removed clock from statusbar so far)
- getting bell/urgency hints working on arriving messages
- nicer tabs in status bar, maybe even just channel names and no indexes
- decluster status bar with user and channel modes (I never cared about those in the last decade)
Gajim: Gajim 1.4.6
Gajim 1.4.6 fixes some bugs with the status icon and notifications. Emoji short code detection has been improved.
Several issues have been fixed in this release.
- Improved detection of emoji short codes
- Tray icon with
libappindicatorhas been fixed
- Groups are now preserved when changing a contact’s name

Mainly it’s one bug we fixed in this release. We improved how Gajim manages chat messages it displays to you. Before this improvement, messages would sometimes only show after changing focus or resizing the window. This issue has been fixed.

Thou shalt not steal focus in popup windows when users are trying to get work done; no matter what.
Calm-computing tip: While ⌥⌘H may clear off a lot of clutter, sometimes you want just one non-full-screened window. Consider making a new Space, moving that window into it, and enjoying its unclutteredness. Spaces are easy to create, re-order, and destroy.
