Fix DNS resolution in WSL2

Permanent WSL DNS Fix (WSL 2.2.1+)

If you're encountering ping github.com failing inside WSL with a Temporary failure in name resolution, you're not alone — this has been a long-standing issue, especially when using VPNs or corporate networks.

This issue is now fixed robustly with DNS tunneling, which preserves dynamic DNS behavior and avoids limitations like WSL’s former hard cap of 3 DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf.

DNS tunneling is enabled by default in WSL version 2.2.1 and later, meaning that if you're still seeing DNS resolution issues, the first and most effective fix is simply to upgrade WSL. Upgrading WSL updates the WSL platform itself, but does not affect your installed Linux distributions, apps, or files.

To upgrade WSL, follow these steps,

Just some notes about my attempt to upgrade to webpack 4

If you enjoyed reading this, I'm intending to do more blogging like this over here: https://cdgd.tech

This is not a complaint about Webpack or v4 in any way. This is just a record of my process trying it out so I could provide feedback to the webpack team

Hmm... I don't see any docs for 4.0 on https://webpack.js.org. I guess I'll just wing it. All I need to do is npm i -D webpack@next, right?

+ webpack@4.0.0-beta.2

This is a simple supplement for Bootstrap 3 to transform the navbar so that the dropdown menu appears on hover instead of on click. No need to modify the Bootstrap 3 js or css at all – simply add this js and css below to your js and css files that are <head> linked *after* the Bootstrap 3 js and css files. Styles for both .navbar-default and .na…

playing around with an `Object.make()` helper
// `Object.make(..)` is a helper/wrapper for `Object.create(..)`. Both create a new
// object, and optionally link that new object's `[[Prototype]]` chain to another object.
//
// But `Object.make(..)` makes sure the new object always has a `__proto__` property
// (even a null one) and delegation to a `isPrototypeOf(..)` method, both of which are
// missing from the bare object (aka "Dictionary") created by `Object.create(null)`.
//
// `isPrototypeOf()` is put on a extra object that your created object can delegate to,
// if any only if you create an empty object (by not passing a `linkTo`) that otherwise
// wouldn't have access to `isPrototypeOf()`.

Tips for Writing Portable Node.js Code

Node.js core does its best to treat every platform equally. Even if most Node developers use OS X day to day, some use Windows, and most everyone deploys to Linux or Solaris. So it's important to keep your code portable between platforms, whether you're writing a library or an application.

Predictably, most cross-platform issues come from Windows. Things just work differently there! But if you're careful, and follow some simple best practices, your code can run just as well on Windows systems.

Paths and URLs

On Windows, paths are constructed with backslashes instead of forward slashes. So if you do your directory manipulation
