This guide will walk you through the steps on how to setup a VirtualBox shared folder inside your Ubuntu Server guest.

This guide assumes that you are using the following setup:

• Oracle VM VirtualBox version 6.0.10 with Extension Pack installed
• Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 as the host OS
• A fresh install of Ubuntu Server 18.04.2 LTS as the guest OS

You could still make this guide work with other setups (possibly with some modifications to the commands and whatnot).

Two important takeaways from CVE-2025-55182

We now have a public POC for CVE-2025-55182, the React Server vulnerability that allows remote code execution on affected servers. The details of how the exploit works are fascinating, and they highlight a couple of important but obscure facts about JavaScript itself that all JS developers should be aware of so that we hopefully don't make the same mistakes in our own code.

You may have heard that promises are not monads. This is because the then function is overloaded to act as both map and bind. For anyone without a functional programming background, here's a quick summary of what that means.

You may notice that your system drive runs out of space when using WSL-Distibutions. So you might ask how to move these stuff to another hard drive or get some space back from your precious drive. Warning: Some commands here might be destructive - I take no responsibilities for any lost data. Read, understand and then decide to follow instructions or not.

The Problem: WSL will dynamically grow the virtual disk (ext4.vhdx) but never shrink it to reclaim unused space. (See also
