  • The presence of OPs device on our network would be ringing about a dozen alarms and we’d already have it quarantined with his account disabled because we would assume it’s been compromised. I’d then enjoy sitting in the meeting with OP and his boss as he has to explain to them why I disabled their access to all company technology and OP has to turn in his reports in a 3 ring binder.

    That would be interesting.

    Out of curiosity - what would you do if you detect Steam installed on corporate laptop? Would be interesting to hear your verdict. 😅


  • There are more:

    1. Unable to completelly disable IPv6.
    2. On fresh WSL2 install, the DNS is somehow broken (on corporate laptop). Had to update /etc/wsl.conf and /etc/reaolv.conf to fix it.
    3. WSL2 ignores global proxy settings. Kind of expected, because Linux does not really support autoconf URL.
    4. Already mentioned - unable to port-forward UDP ports from Windows.

    I think that’s the most significant ones.

    Also there are few nice features to know:

    1. “explorer.exe .” opens windows explorer from WSL2 in a given path.
    2. Windows drives are accessible via “/mnt/”.



  • Actually it’s quite good. Recently they added SystemD services support, so all those guides “for Ubuntu” work totally okay in WSL2.

    Well, take the step back - Microsoft implementing WSL2 shows that Microsoft agrees that Linux shell environment is better that Windows PowerShell environment.

    But the way they implemented and this mind-blowing TCP-only port forwarding feature shows that they did a crappy job…








  • Lashing people for saying things you don’t like has nothing to do with Islam.

    You changed topic. Lashes were due to religious beliefs. Period.

    An asshole that uses Islam as an excuse doesn’t indict Islam as a whole

    So it’s still islam. Islam is a religion just like any other religion. Everyone interprets it differently and that’s fine. Everyone explains it differently, the way each person unferstands it, so it’s still Islam.

    we could use China and the USSR to say a lot about atheism.

    Atheism is not a religion in the first place. In fact, your example could be used in different way - people in China and USSR drank water and ate food. So drinking water and eating food makes us somewhat comparable to China and USSR?
