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.

Statix - the simplest static website generator in Bash

Statix is a stand-alone Bash script aimed at generating full-featured, routable static websites from reusable HTML snippets. It features the most basic templating engine ever possible but allows to organize your content in a SEO-friendly way. All Statix-based websites contain these parts:

Templates: a directory where all HTML templates are stored
Route configuration: a file that maps each publicly accessible template to a SEO-friendly URL
Assets: a directory with optional files copied to the output website directory with no processing.

This script is also lightweight. Aside from some standard file management commands such as cp, mkdir and rm, the only serious dependency for Statix is GNU Grep compiled with PCRE support (i.e. the version that supports -P flag, included in most Linux distributions).
