Marcel | Is it available though Windows updated? Until now I still had to compile it myself. | 20:01:45 |

K900 | Not yet | 20:03:09 |
K900 | But I believe that bug was the blocker for wider deployment | 20:03:15 |
Marcel | Hope so | 20:03:58 |
Niklas Korz | Interesting, I was running 6.6 on WSL for a few months now and didn't hit that bug | 22:05:22 |

sustainedrelease | Has anyone here successfully run VSCode in NixOS, like this article explains?

nzbr (they/it) | It's not as straight-forward as on other distros, but we have a guide for that in the documentation
https://nix-community.github.io/NixOS-WSL/how-to/vscode.html | 23:36:21 |
sustainedrelease | Thanks, I didn't see that. NixOS rocks. | 23:40:03 |
sustainedrelease | Everything appears to be working. :D | 23:45:42 |

Gleydar | Interesting! I hope they can release it soon-ish so that podman can stop screaming at me | 08:36:38 |

nzbr (they/it) | It's possible to find the WSL version from inside the distro like this
strings /init | sed -nE 's/.* container_host_version_id=(.+\..+\..+\..+)/\1/p'
We might be able to use that to issue a warning on old WSL versions
| 10:46:06 |
K900 | I think there's a magic file with it somewhere? | 10:48:41 |
nzbr (they/it) | Currently trying to grep for it, but that's been running for a while now | 10:49:18 |
nzbr (they/it) | /mnt/wslg/versions.txt only has the WSLg version, which is at 1.0.65 for me | 10:50:33 |

sustainedrelease | why am I getting "network is unreachable" when trying to do anything with IPv6 addresses? I even manually set networking.enableIPv6 = true; although it was not set to false | 03:12:44 |
sustainedrelease | ipv6 is turned on in Windows 11 | 03:21:39 |
sustainedrelease |  Download image.png | 03:21:40 |
sustainedrelease | I can ping IPv6 addresses with powershell. | 03:28:25 |
sustainedrelease | I can only connect to my VPS with IPv6, so help would be appreciated. | 03:28:57 |
sustainedrelease | for what it's worth, IPv6 seems broken in ubuntu as well. I'm looking into IPv6 issues with WSL2... | 03:44:08 |
sustainedrelease | the solution was to enable mirrored networking in a file called .wslconfig in my Windows home directory | 03:49:27 |
nzbr (they/it) | Yeah, the default network mode of WSL still doesn't support IPv6 at all. There's nothing we can do about it from the distro side | 09:15:32 |

balanced_design | try setting up tailscale on WSL and your VPS. It is made to handle things that would otherwise prevent connecting between your devices. It will give you a virtual IPv4 address you can send packets to that will go to your VPS via IPv6 via tailscale noticing a request to a special IP and handling the networking. | 07:21:01 |
