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.

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.

I’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 withlibappindicator has been fixed
  
• Groups are now preserved when changing a contact’s name
  
• Windows: Notifications shouldn’t appear in the taskbar anymore
