Thanks to cutting-edge #copilot technology I can, for the first time ever, automatically accept meeting requests from my boss. It's incredible what we can do now thanks entirely to nondeterministic ai models which we would never use to solve problems that were already solvable in the 90's.

Someone copied my GliderUI repo and rewrote the README. It leads the users to download a zip file and run a suspicious exe. It's really sad to see this. Already reported but not sure if any action is taken. Be careful, mine is mdgrs-mei/GliderUI and it's available on the PowerShell gallery.

mild take: we're watching silicon valley get very excited about their tools in the same way a guy with a huge wall of ryobi stuff thinks his collection is more important than what he does with the tools

If you like audio #books, but don't want to support #Audible, I only just learned about @libro.fm. A portion of your purchases go to the local bookseller you designate, and you can download your books without DRM ❤ libro.fm/referral?rf_...

Zensical 0.0.30 adds a new floating table of contents menu on mobile/tablet, and ships support for our fork of "mike" – a tool that enables you to deploy multiple versions of your documentation to GH Pages. Checkout the 0.0.30 release notes: github.com/zensical/zen...

multi-pwsh 0.7.0 is out with initial #PowerShell virtual environment (venv) support, through runtime hooking of PowerShell, PowerShellGet and PSResourceGet! Try it out now, let me know what you think 👇 github.com/Devolutions/...

Sometimes I wish password fields had a "close enough" feature. Something like... "You clearly know what your password is. The probability of being THAT close on the first try and NOT knowing it is astronomical. You may pass." (yeah yeah hashing makes this impossible and that's a good thing)

🚨 This conference will sell out. 🚨 And when it does… the only thing left is “I’ll go next year.” So the real question is… 👀 Are you going, or watching everyone else post about it?

I decided to rename my module. Now it's called "GliderUI": github.com/mdgrs-mei/Gl... Cross-platform desktop GUI framework for #PowerShell built using Avalonia. - Runs on Windows, macOS and Linux - You can build GUIs by code or XAML - No more freezing GUIs

Kia's Lane Keep Assist feature has this funny rule where if it can't detect your hands on the wheel it will eventually just turn off. They don't want people using it for "autopilot". I get that. But is shutting off the only thing keeping the car on the road the right move?

*sigh* No #Nvidia, I'm not logging in to your annoying desktop app to check for a driver update. I guess I'll just go find it on your website where I sure hope I won't be faced with a login prompt for a driver...

People keep personifying LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude, and I find myself imagining these models are like Bob in the "We Are Legion (We Are Bob)" book / Bobiverse series. Not sure if coincidence but also Robert (Bob) Daly in Black Mirror USS Callister episodes has digital clone enslaved in game.

I love that the username portion of the fake people in this anti-phishing email I just got are "LMAO" and "ROFL"

Thank you. I've been saying the same thing, just not as loudly lol... Filling your repo with markdown files with detailed instructions for all the things you want your coding agent to do well is exactly the kind of thing we should have been doing to ensure human developers could code well all along

I just rediscovered a little #powershell module I wrote a few years ago. I originally wrote it for reading/writing from interactive processes like netsh but it comes in handy for kicking off installers and streaming their stdout too.

A recruitment ad for CBP / Immigration and Customs Enforcement showed up in my LinkedIn feed this evening. So I did my duty and reported the dangerous extremist organization. Promoting such hateful and violent extremists is against their ToS after all. #abolishice

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again in professional contexts: "Actually yeah, there's a command in the module for that! Here's the docs page with examples, let me know if you have any questions!"

Ever struggled with DllNotFoundException errors in #powershell? I had this problem in a #csharp module and solved it with a p/invoke call to SetDllDirectory. Saw a post in /r/PowerShell where the native assemblies used by Mime couldn't be loaded and wrote this. Works in PowerShell 5.1 and 7+.

Anyone else's "WiFi down" this morning? My daughter was interrogating me the moment I woke up this morning. I have three sync'd piholes and they all use cloudflared to proxy DNS requests for DoH. Turns out I missed the memo about the impending removal of the proxy-dns command last year.

I'm gonna need every Technology Connections video from now on to include a call to #abolishice until it happens 🤘

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!

Am I the only one who looks at #llm "Agent Skills" and wonders why "documentation" needed a new name?

Build tools are hard to learn, but psake's patterns work across .NET, Node, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines. Learn once, use everywhere. We just released an Agent Skill to help you level up faster - works in Claude and Copilot. psake.dev/blog/intro... #psake #powershell #build

The "ValueFromRemainingArguments" feature in #powershell can be super handy! It stops errors when a user splats a hashtable with keys that don't match existing parameters, but it can also be used as a shorthand way to allow "dynamic parameters" without the potential downsides of dynamic parameters.

🚨 CFP NOW OPEN — Chocolatey Fest 2026 🚨 Presented by our Platinum Sponsor, @chocolatey.org A special Windows automation track at the PowerShell + DevOps Global Summit Submit your session by February 13th: 👉https://lnkd.in/eagFwZma

I channeled my anger, frustration, and sadness about the state murders of #reneegood and #alexpretti this weekend and started working on Project Witness. There are so many videos recorded by protestors, legal observers, released bodycam footage. But it's difficult to get them all together.

I wanted a #powershell script that could observe the 🐁 mouse position for an idle/busy tool to remind my daughter to get up and move when she's been 🎮 gaming for hours gist.github.com/joshooaj/a35...

I've been keeping a secret..... CHOCOLATEY FEST IS COMING BACK!!!!! This is running alongside @powershellsummit.org as a dedicated track. One ticket. Two events. More details soon, including a CFP. Tickets @ powershellsummit.org

Thanks to @joshooaj.com for the inspiration, I wrote a blog post about @chocolatey.org's refreshenv command; a super-helpful utility to refresh your PATH post package operation. Hope you find it useful! steviecoaster.dev/blog/refresh... #Chocolatey #PowerShell

I wrote a #powershell function to rebuild the PATH env var because I was annoyed after installing a new CLI tool that it wasn't immediately available. This cross-platform function will update PATH with the machine/user/process-scoped vars. And now this is where you tell me there's a better way 😅

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

I added a silly ai-generated country song about getting lyrics wrong as a demo song for the ai-generated lyric-syncing app I made yesterday.

Writing and correcting synced lyrics was a pain so I built a thing using a coding agent. Everything runs in the browser and you can listen to your song while you adjust timestamps of individual lines of lyrics with the up/down arrow keys. syncsong.net

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Shipped audio/video transcription with generation of subtitles or lyric LRC files. It's definitely a "your mileage may vary" situation in terms of transcription quality, especially with music, but if the average person can understand the lyrics they'll probably turn out okay. muxminus.com

🎵 lot of bonk guns 🎵 - Nirvana (apparently) LOL @ the idea of extracting lyrics using whisper 🤣 Experimenting with lyric extraction using demucs to isolate the vocals and pass them through whisper. It's terrible, but when I listen to the vocals I totally see why an STT model would "hear" this 🙃

My #PowerShell Universal cookbook app got an upgrade today. Categories display as chips only if RecipeCount > 0! Also added ability to delete a recipe from its edit modal. Navigation now collapses as well, making use on mobile a much nicer UX. Repo: github.com/steviecoaste...

Okay this has been a lot of fun. I spent the day using vscode with the Claude Opus model to rebuild the Mux Minus site using Django. The audio players now render the waveforms, and everything looks a lot better.

Check out my latest side quest (aka distraction), 🎚️ Mux Minus! Split a music file into multiple tracks or stems. Great for making a vocal-free track for karaoke. A while back I was messing with the python-based Facebook Research "demucs" project and I decided to write a web application around it.

They don’t make a commercial here management software that’s simple enough for my dad to use. Thankfully, I fake it as a developer and know what #PowerShell Universal is, so I wrote him one. Naturally, it’s open source. (But not yet on the gallery. ) Explore what it can do at:

I think my house is trying to tell me something. It's a modular home and I suspect we'll need to have someone out to shim some of the piers due to settling or something.

New #powershell module for anyone running a #frigatenvr server. There's not much to it yet but you can login, add/remove/modify users, get a filtered list of events, and for API features not implemented yet, you can use Invoke-FrigateApi. www.joshooaj.com/joshooaj.fri...

I'm new to #frigatenvr - is there already a popular CLI for it? I started on an experimental #powershell module this evening. I'm a bit disappointed that the API relies on cookies for authentication, and that there's no first-party openapi spec as far as I can see. Still, very easy to get started.
