This update isn’t just about adding features. It’s about fixing the small annoyances that make a tool either delightful or frustrating to use.

New Features in Version 1.4

Pin Items — Finally!

One of the most requested features has been the ability to pin important clipboard items so they don’t get accidentally deleted.

Here’s how it works:

• Click the 📌 button on any history item to pin it
• Pinned items are protected from:
  • Clear All — they stay even when you clear the history
  • Auto-trim — when the history reaches the maximum limit, pinned items are preserved
• The pinned state persists even after restarting the app

Persistence is handled through JSON format:

{"text": "Important command here", "pinned": true}

Legacy data (array of strings) is automatically migrated to the new format — no data loss.

Double-Click to Copy

A small but significant quality-of-life improvement: double-click any history item to instantly copy it back to your clipboard. A “Copied!” feedback appears on the Copy button to confirm the action.

Background Monitoring

This is a game-changer.

Previously, closing the window would exit the application entirely — stopping clipboard monitoring. Now, the app continues to run in the background, silently watching your clipboard.

To reopen the window, simply run clipboard-history again. The existing instance will bring the window back to the foreground.

Ctrl+Q to Quit

Want to completely exit the application? Use Ctrl+Q. This closes the window and terminates the background process.

Under the Hood: What Got Fixed

Version 1.4 isn’t just about new features. A significant portion of this release focused on fixing bugs and improving reliability.

Wayland Compatibility

Wayland has become the default display server on many Linux distributions, and it introduced some challenges. Key fixes include:

• Polling fallback (400ms) — clipboard detection now works with apps like Electron, Chromium, and Wayland-native applications
• Null check for Gdk.Screen.get_default() — prevents crashes on Wayland where the screen might return null

Smarter Disk I/O

Writing to disk on every clipboard change was inefficient and could cause performance issues. Now, changes are debounced with a 500ms timer — reducing disk writes and improving overall responsiveness.

Build and Packaging Improvements

• Dev script now includes separate menu options for Build (meson setup), Compile (meson compile), and Install (sudo ninja install)
• Deb package now includes the missing libjson-glib-1.0-0 dependency
• .gitignore has been updated to exclude generated files from version control

License Consistency

The README mentioned MIT, but the About dialog used GPL-3.0. This has been fixed — the license is now consistent across all documentation.

Full Changelog

Version 1.4.2

• Double-click on any history item to automatically copy it to clipboard (feedback “Copied!” appears on the Copy button)

Version 1.4.1

New Features:

• Pin/unpin clipboard items — pinned items are protected from Clear All and auto-trim
• Pin button (📌) on each history item row
• Pinned state persists in JSON format
• Auto-migration from legacy JSON format

Bug Fixes:

• clear_all() now only removes non-pinned items
• max_items trim skips pinned items
• Remove pin automatically when item is deleted

Version 1.4.0

New Features:

• Clipboard monitoring keeps running even when window is closed
• Re-open window by running clipboard-history again
• Debounced JSON persistence (500ms debounce — reduces disk writes)
• Ctrl+Q shortcut to quit application completely

Bug Fixes:

• Fix clipboard not detected from some apps by adding polling fallback
• Fix app exiting completely when window is closed
• Fix save_history() writing to disk on every clipboard change
• Fix license mismatch

What’s Next?

With version 1.4 stable and reliable, I’m already planning the next steps:

• Wingpanel integration — quick access from the top panel
• Global keyboard shortcut — instant popup like Win + V on Windows
• Image support — store and retrieve images from clipboard
• Favorite items — pin your most-used clipboard entries

Try It Yourself

Clipboard History is open source and available on GitHub. Whether you’re an elementary OS user or just curious about how Linux apps are built, feel free to explore:

• Source code: github.com/gylangsatria/clipboard-history-elementary
• Download .deb: Available on the releases page

Final Thoughts

Building Clipboard History has been an incredible learning experience. I started this project as someone who isn’t a professional developer, and with each version, I learn something new — about Vala, GTK, packaging, and user experience.

Version 1.4 is proof that even a small tool can be polished into something genuinely useful. If you use it, I hope it makes your daily workflow just a little bit easier.

Stay curious. Stay tinkering.

This guide is written specifically for beginners — from zero knowledge to confidently using Git and GitHub in your daily work.

What is Git?

Git is a version control system that tracks changes to files over time. It allows you to:

• See the history of changes
• Revert to previous versions
• Collaborate with others without conflict
• Work on multiple features simultaneously

Git vs GitHub

In short: Git is the engine. GitHub is the garage.

Why Was Git Created?

Git was created by Linus Torvalds in 2005 to manage the development of the Linux kernel. The Linux kernel had thousands of contributors worldwide, and existing version control systems couldn’t handle the scale. Git was built to be:

• Fast
• Distributed (everyone has a full copy)
• Branch-friendly

Why Every Developer Should Learn Git

• It’s a standard — Almost every tech company uses it
• Collaboration — Work with teams seamlessly
• Safety — Never lose your code again
• Portfolio — GitHub is your resume for developers
• Open source — Contribute to projects worldwide

Installing Git

Windows

1. Download Git from git-scm.com
2. Run the installer (default settings are fine)
3. Open Command Prompt or Git Bash

Check Installation

git --version

You should see something like:

git version 2.40.0

Initial Configuration

Before using Git, you need to set your identity:

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "your.email@email.com"

Check Your Configuration

git config --list

Creating a New Repository

Let’s say you have a folder called Project where your code lives.

cd Project
git init

Output:

Initialized empty Git repository

Your folder is now a Git repository!

Checking File Status

To see the current state of your files:

git status

If you see:

Untracked files:

It means Git hasn’t started tracking those files yet.

Adding Files to Git

Add All Files

git add .

Add a Specific File

git add index.html

This tells Git: “Please start tracking this file.”

Committing Changes

A commit is like a snapshot or checkpoint of your project.

git commit -m "Initial commit: homepage structure"

Why Commit Messages Must Be Clear

Good commit messages help you and your team understand:

• What changed
• Why it changed
• When to revert if something breaks

Connecting to GitHub

First, create a repository on GitHub:

https://github.com/yourusername/myproject

Then connect your local repository to GitHub:

git remote add origin https://github.com/yourusername/myproject.git

Check Your Remote Connection

git remote -v

First Push

Push your code to GitHub for the first time:

git push -u origin main

• -u sets the default upstream branch (you only need this once)
• After this, you can simply use git push to send updates

Cloning a Repository

To download an existing repository from GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/myproject.git

This creates a copy on your computer.

Pulling Updates

To get the latest changes from GitHub:

git pull

This downloads and merges updates from the remote repository.

Fetch vs Pull

Think of fetch as “checking for new mail” and pull as “checking and opening the new mail.”

Working with Branches

Branches allow you to work on different features independently.

See All Branches

git branch

Create a New Branch

git branch feature-login

Switch to a Branch

git checkout feature-login

Or (modern way):

git switch feature-login

Create and Switch Simultaneously

git switch -c feature-login

Merging

After finishing work on a branch, merge it back to the main branch:

git checkout main
git merge feature-login

Viewing History

Full Log

git log

Compact Version

git log --oneline

Viewing Changes

See what’s different between your current files and the last commit:

git diff

Deleting Files

git rm file.txt

Renaming Files

git mv oldname.txt newname.txt

Restoring Files

Restore a File Not Yet Committed

git restore index.html

Undo a Commit

Soft Reset (keeps changes)

git reset --soft HEAD~1

Removes the commit but keeps your changes staged.

Hard Reset (discards changes)

git reset --hard HEAD~1

Removes the commit and discards all changes.

⚠️ Warning: Hard reset permanently removes uncommitted work!

Ignoring Files

Create a .gitignore file in your project root:

node_modules/
*.log
.env

These files will no longer be tracked by Git.

GitHub Desktop

For those who prefer a visual interface:

1. Download GitHub Desktop
2. Log in with your GitHub account
3. Clone a repository
4. Commit changes
5. Push with a single click

All Git operations are available in a user-friendly GUI.

Using GitHub Web

You can also interact with GitHub directly in your browser:

• Create repositories
• Upload files
• Edit files online
• Commit directly from the browser
• Create releases
• Download source code

Important Terminology

Daily Workflow Example

Here’s how a typical day looks:

Morning
    ↓
git pull         (get latest updates)
    ↓
Start working
    ↓
git add .        (stage your changes)
    ↓
git commit       (save your work)
    ↓
git push         (share your work)
    ↓
Done!

When to Use What

Conclusion

Git and GitHub are powerful tools that every developer should learn. They may seem intimidating at first, but with practice, they become second nature.

Start small. Make your first commit. Push your first project. Create your first branch.

The journey of a thousand lines of code begins with a single git init.

Happy coding!

Conclusion

By adding this widget, my blog becomes more informative and provides added value to visitors. As an active writer at WinPoin, this widget serves as a bridge connecting my two writing worlds, while also providing easy access for readers to enjoy the quality content I produce on both platforms.

With this integration, I hope to continue providing the best content for readers, both through my personal blog and through WinPoin, and to build a broader and more integrated reader community.

And that’s true — since I started writing actively at WinPoin in 2018, my main focus has been on tutorials, troubleshooting, technology opinions, and various discussions around the Microsoft ecosystem.

But there’s one thing that has always caught my attention: the opportunity to try and review a product firsthand.

Reviews Are Different from Just Writing Specifications

Many people think writing a review is just about listing specifications and giving a conclusion.

But the reality is not that simple.

When writing tutorials or news, I usually just need to make sure the information is accurate and easy to understand.

But when writing a review, there’s something far more important: the user experience.

Because in the end, readers don’t just want to know the battery capacity or how fast the processor is.

They want to know how the device feels in everyday life.

Is it comfortable to use?

Are there any shortcomings not visible on the spec sheet?

Is it worth the price?

And those are exactly the things that, in my opinion, make reviews interesting.

Some Review Opportunities I’ve Had

Over the past few months, I’ve started getting opportunities to try out several products firsthand.

From computer accessories, mechanical keyboards, to various other devices that are quite interesting to discuss.

One of the most memorable experiences was when I tried several low-profile keyboards and mechanical keyboards that turned out to provide a completely different experience compared to the standard keyboards I’ve been using.

Through that review process, I learned that every product always has its own target audience.

There are products that might look ordinary on paper but turn out to be very comfortable to use.

On the other hand, there are also products with high specifications but aren’t always suitable for everyone.

Reviews Help Me See Technology from a Different Perspective

What I love most about writing reviews is the opportunity to see a product from the user’s point of view.

Because when writing tech news, we often focus on new features, specifications, or official announcements from companies.

But when doing a review, we are forced to actually use the product and experience its strengths and weaknesses firsthand.

From there, insights usually emerge that can’t be found just by reading press releases or official specifications.

Hopes for the Future

Of course, I hope to get more opportunities to try and review various other technology products.

Whether it’s laptops, Windows devices, computer accessories, gadgets, or unique products that might not have been widely discussed in Indonesia.

Because for me, reviewing isn’t just about judging a product.

It’s also about helping readers understand whether the product is truly worth using.

And most importantly, a good review must remain honest. Because in the end, reader trust is far more valuable than just giving an overly positive assessment.

Before, I still had the opportunity to meet my family at least once a week. Now the situation is a little different. With an increasingly packed schedule and tighter shift rotations, the gap between one chance to go home and the next has grown longer.

And honestly, this isn’t something that’s easy to get used to.

I used to be able to count that every seven days, I’d have a chance to go home and see my family. Now, in certain periods, I can only meet them every eleven days.

Four extra days might sound trivial if you just look at the numbers.

But when you live it, the difference is quite significant.

Especially when there are so many small moments that are usually enjoyed with family — sharing meals, having casual conversations, or just sitting together without thinking about work waiting the next day.

What’s also quite challenging is when public holidays come around.

For some people, the calendar shows a day off.

But for shift workers, especially those in operational services that need to run 24/7, public holidays are often just red numbers on the calendar without any real change to the work schedule.

The system must keep running.

Services must remain available.

And work must continue as usual.

Of course, I understand that every type of job has its own consequences. There are professions that follow regular office hours, and there are also professions that must ensure operations keep running whenever needed.

That’s why I don’t see this situation as something wrong.

It’s just that, as an ordinary human being, there are times when fatigue and longing for family appear more often than before.

But on the other hand, I’ve also started to realize that this is part of the process that must be endured.

Not every career phase will feel comfortable.

Not every opportunity comes in ideal conditions.

There are times when we have to accept that the current situation might not be the most comfortable, but it remains an important part of the journey toward better opportunities in the future.

For now, what I can do is adapt.

Learn to manage time as best as possible.

Make every opportunity to meet family more meaningful.

And continue doing my work professionally, even though the schedule isn’t always what I hope for.

Because in the end, every experience — even the heavy ones — usually brings lessons that will be useful in the future.

Who knows, a few years from now, I might look back at this phase and realize that all the adjustments, sacrifices of time, and adaptation processes I’m going through today turned out to be an important part that led me toward better opportunities.

When I first started writing in 2018, the state of the technology world was certainly very different from now. At that time, Windows 10 was still at its peak popularity, Windows 11 hadn’t even been announced yet, Copilot didn’t exist, and the term “generative AI” still sounded like something far from everyday life.

Yet from that moment until today, I have had the opportunity to follow and write about nearly every major change that occurred in the Microsoft ecosystem.

From the evolution of Windows 10, the birth of Windows 11, the transition to Windows on ARM, the arrival of Microsoft Copilot, the development of Surface, Microsoft 365, to the various major changes that are currently pushing Microsoft toward the AI era.

Writing Is Not Just About Translating News

Over eight years of writing at WinPoin, I have learned that being a technology writer is not just about delivering the latest news.

The real task is to understand the technology first before explaining it back in simpler language that is easy for Indonesian readers to understand.

That is why every article often begins with reading official documentation, following community discussions, observing changes happening in Windows Insider, and trying out new features firsthand.

The goal is simple: so that readers not only know what has changed, but also understand its impact on everyday usage.

Witnessing Microsoft’s Transformation Firsthand

One of the interesting things about this journey has been the opportunity to see how Microsoft has changed over time.

In 2018, most discussions still centered around Windows and Office.

But now, Microsoft has a much broader focus, ranging from cloud computing, cybersecurity, Windows on ARM, to AI, which now appears in almost all of its products.

These changes have caused the topics covered at WinPoin to also evolve.

From initially covering many Windows updates and PC usage tips, it now includes AI, account security, passkeys, Copilot, Surface, and various other modern technology developments.

Eight Years of Continuous Learning

If there is one thing I am grateful for from this journey, it is the opportunity to keep learning.

Because the world of technology never stops changing.

Every year there are always new technologies, new features, new challenges, and of course, new material to write about.

And perhaps that is why, after eight years, writing at WinPoin still feels enjoyable.

Because every article is not just a way to share information with readers, but also a learning process that continues to this day.

Some time ago, I noticed that the domain gylang.my.id and the blog at blog.gylang.my.id received several security flags on VirusTotal indicating potential phishing or suspicious activity.

Of course, this was quite surprising, especially since the website is my personal blog for sharing writing and documentation about technology.

At First, I Thought There Was Malware

When I first saw these flags, honestly, I was worried.

Because phishing or malicious labels usually appear when a website is indeed indicated to be spreading malware, performing dangerous redirects, or trying to steal user data.

However, after conducting a thorough inspection of the entire website content, the results showed no malicious files, suspicious scripts, illegal redirects, or any indication of server compromise.

The Cause Turned Out to Be Quite Simple

After investigating further, I found that the main cause likely came from a premium Blogger theme I had been using for a long time.

The theme used several third-party JavaScript files that had not been updated for quite some time.

Although those scripts were not harmful, some security engines apparently considered certain patterns in the old scripts as suspicious indicators.

This kind of thing actually happens quite often in the cybersecurity world and is known as a false positive—a condition where a website or file is considered dangerous when it actually contains no real threat.

The Fix Process I Undertook

To ensure everything was truly safe, I took the following steps:

• Removed old scripts that were no longer used
• Updated all Blogger theme components
• Cleaned unnecessary code
• Checked all pages using various security scanners
• Ensured there were no hidden redirects or third-party script injections
• Re-tested all domains and subdomains

After that process was complete, I also contacted several security vendors to request a re-evaluation of the classifications that had previously appeared.

One of them was Bitdefender, where I submitted a review request so they could re-verify the domain that had been flagged.

Security Vendors Began Removing Flags

After the review process proceeded, several security vendors started removing the previously appearing detections.

This shows that the issue was indeed more of a false positive than an actual security threat.

Of course, this kind of process takes time because each vendor has different analysis mechanisms and database update schedules.

But most importantly, all the components that caused the previous detections have been fixed and cleaned.

Lessons Learned

From this experience, I learned that managing a website is not just about creating content.

We also have to pay attention to security, theme updates, third-party scripts, and domain reputation regularly.

Because sometimes a website can receive security flags not because it was hacked, but because it uses old components that modern detection systems consider suspicious.

As this article is being written, the blog at blog.gylang.my.id and the domain gylang.my.id have gone through a cleaning process, audit, and re-verification. Visitors can access the site as usual without worrying about the security issues that previously appeared.

This feature might seem simple, but once you get used to it, life feels much easier. Especially when you have to copy multiple texts, terminal commands, URLs, or code snippets repeatedly.

Unfortunately, when I switched to elementary OS, I couldn’t quite find the same experience.

Sure, there are several clipboard managers available on Linux, but most of them felt too complex, too heavy, or didn’t blend well with elementary OS’s design.

So I finally decided to build my own app.

Not a Professional Developer, But Still Can Build an App

Honestly, I’m not a professional software engineer.

Most of my daily activities involve writing articles, managing infrastructure, tinkering with Linux and Windows, and occasionally doing server troubleshooting.

But thanks to the current development of AI, I became curious about how far AI could help someone build a truly usable desktop application.

And the result was this project:

Clipboard History for elementary OS

An open-source application I built using Vala, GTK3, and Granite to make it feel more native to the elementary OS ecosystem.

Simple Functionality, Yet Very Useful

The app concept is actually quite simple.

Every time you copy text, the application automatically saves it to your clipboard history.

So when you need text that you previously copied, you don’t have to search for it from the original source again.

Just open the app, find the text you want, and click to copy it again.

Features Currently Available:

• Automatic clipboard monitoring
• Clipboard history
• Quick search
• One-click recopy
• Delete specific items
• Clear entire history
• Automatic history limit
• Light and simple GTK interface
• Autostart support on login

Why Did I Choose Vala?

This might be an interesting question.

Many people choose Electron, Python, or even Rust for building Linux desktop applications.

But I chose Vala for several simple reasons:

• Excellent GTK integration
• Lightweight
• Native Linux feel
• Fits well with the elementary OS ecosystem
• No need for a large runtime like Electron

Besides that, I also wanted to learn something new while building an app I would actually use every day.

AI Turned Out to Be Very Helpful

One of the most interesting aspects of this project is that most of the development process was assisted by AI.

That doesn’t mean AI did everything automatically, of course.

I still had to understand the code structure, debug, fix bugs, set up the build system, package the .deb, and ensure the app worked as needed.

But AI helped accelerate the learning and experimentation process significantly.

Things that might have taken weeks to learn in the past could now be understood much faster.

Still Many Plans Ahead

Currently, Clipboard History is at version 1.3 and is stable enough for daily use.

But there are still several features I want to add in the future, such as:

• Wingpanel integration
• Popup clipboard similar to Win + V on Windows
• Image support
• SQLite storage
• Global keyboard shortcut
• Favorite (pinned) clipboard items

Open Source and Available for Everyone

Since I built this project as a learning tool and as something I actually use myself, I’ve made the source code publicly available on GitHub.

So anyone can view the source code, provide feedback, or even contribute if they’re interested.

What matters most to me isn’t the number of GitHub stars or downloads, but the fact that as someone who isn’t a professional developer, I managed to build a Linux app that I actually use every single day.

And honestly? That feels pretty great.

Not just exploration of new technology, but also exploration of how systems work, security, productivity, and how to deliver technical information to others through writing.

Throughout this year, I have learned and worked on quite a few things.

Diving Deeper into Windows

Windows remains one of my main focuses this year.

From following the development of Windows 11 25H2, discussing Windows 11 26H2, changes in Microsoft’s servicing branch, to various new features being tested through Windows Insider.

Interestingly, this year has also been when I increasingly understood how Microsoft is changing the way Windows is developed.

If in the past each year was marked by a major feature update, now most features arrive through monthly cumulative updates, while annual updates function more as enablement packages that simply activate features already present in the system.

This shift is quite interesting to follow because it indirectly changes how users perceive Windows updates.

Getting Back to Linux

Beyond Windows, Linux also remains an important part of my activities.

From Ubuntu, server management, SSH key usage, to various system administration tasks that are more comfortable to do through the terminal.

There is always something compelling about Linux—the freedom to understand what is actually happening behind the scenes.

Something that is sometimes less visible when using more closed operating systems.

Learning and Facing Security Challenges

This year has also been quite eventful with cybersecurity-related activities.

From log analysis, incident investigation using EDR, SentinelOne troubleshooting, to understanding various modern attack techniques like phishing, MFA fatigue, credential theft, and other evolving threats.

On the other hand, I have also increasingly realized that security is not just about technology.

Most problems often come from people, processes, and improper system usage habits.

Actively Writing Tech Content

Perhaps one of the activities I have done most this year is writing.

I have spent a lot of time translating technology news from English into articles that are easier for Indonesian users to understand.

The topics are quite diverse:

• Windows 11
• Microsoft Surface
• Copilot and AI
• Microsoft 365
• Linux
• Cybersecurity
• Hardware and PC devices

Writing turns out to be not just about conveying information.

The more I write, the more I learn to understand a technology more deeply before explaining it to others.

AI Is Everywhere

It is hard to talk about 2026 without discussing AI.

Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, and almost all major technology companies are now racing to embed AI into their products.

Interestingly, I also often question whether all these AI integrations are truly necessary.

Because in some cases, users simply want devices that are fast, stable, and easy to use without overly aggressive AI features.

This debate will likely continue for years to come.

Still Much to Learn

Although I have learned quite a lot this year, I feel the journey is still very long.

Technology changes too fast for anyone to feel truly done learning.

Every Windows update, every new security threat, every new device, and every AI development always presents something interesting to understand.

And perhaps that is why the world of technology never feels boring.

Because there is always something new to explore every day.

I’m Gylang Satria Yudha, a writer who enjoys tinkering with systems, breaking things down, and figuring out how they work. I write not just to explain, but to understand — and this site is where I share that process. Whether it’s server recovery, software quirks, or just thoughts on how things could be better, I document what I explore.

This site serves as a lightweight companion to my main technical blog and the services I occasionally offer.

blog.gylang.my.id — Field Notes & Technical Experiments

This is where I publish deeper documentation and real-world troubleshooting logs. Topics range from Linux server recovery and SLiMS module audits to UI refinement and workflow experiments.

A few recent posts:

• Fixing Timeshift-gtk Not Launching on Linux
• Deploying SLiMS9 Bulian on Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS
• Restoring a Hacked School Website

The blog also offers free member access to exclusive content and templates.

Services & Projects

I focus on building maintainable, user-driven solutions with clear documentation. My current areas of interest include:

• Blocklist Automation: Converting raw text filters into validated Chrome JSON rules with deduplication
• UI Feedback & Documentation: Designing actionable, professional feedback systems for technical and non-technical users
• SLiMS Debugging: Auditing PHP modules and SQL queries for library systems
• Technical Writing: Producing SOPs, guides, and articles with precise terminology and immediate usability

I believe good documentation is not an afterthought — it’s the backbone of sustainable solutions.

If you’re curious, feel free to explore, contribute feedback, or reach out for collaboration.

This site (gylangsatria.github.io) will continue to host lighter updates, quick notes, and personal reflections alongside the main blog.
