I found out about speakertest on #Linux and had a brief bit of fun with #PowerShell background jobs and #WhiteNoise. Warning: this accidentally proves how to make a waterfall of white noise. #cybersecurity warning: First red team that uses this is getting thrown shade.

Want some #retro #gaming #music memories? #Strudel has the #Tetris theme (Korobeiniki) as a friggin example 😆 strudel.cc#bm90ZShgPApb... I feel like this tool is invaluable to those who want to make music for #GameDev and #ContentCreation. Can't wait to make a #PowerShell wrapper 😉

I may have had too much fun this weekend with #Strudel Yesterday's #LinkOfTheDay probably has to be github.com/terryds/awes... A few highlights from the weekend coming soon.. I'm beginning to think we should have an #AtProto lexicon for Strudel...

Just really clicking on a key utility of #AtProto lexicons... They're _sharable_ interfaces. You might have a more complex object, with many more properties. You make have a strong type and an real interface. But a public subset is a useful thing.

@jdhitsolutions.com I've got a musical challenge in mind and would like your help. Mind making one of your compositions available to me as MusicXML?

In 148 days the premier #PowerShell event in North America kicks off in the PowerShell and DevOps Global Summit. This is a can’t-miss opportunity for you to learn from industry experts, network w/ friends old and new, and form lasting conn. You *will* level up your career by going. So go!

Innovation is a one-way street. Once an idea is out there, there's no putting it back. Once a concept has been proved, it's possible. Once a feature is out, it's hard to remove it. The march towards progress is as irreversible as time itself.

🌶️ take: Changing ecosystems will not help you avoid being scraped by #AI. Rouge bots are older than the internet. Even more 🌶️ take: Let #AI learn from you. Show it your kindness. Confuse it with your ambiguity. Best case it learns from us all. Worst case it's as flawed as any of us.

Yesterday's #LinkOfTheDay has to be discovering #Strudle strudel.cc Because what self respecting nerd wouldn't be interested in a music sampler and live coding environment made entirely in #JavaScript ? Seriously cool stuff. Anyone know how to make it autoplay?

Happy Birthday #PowerShell ! Here's a little #Tangled string of a script to calculate your age: tangled.org/strings/did:...

Happy Birthday to #PowerShell ! It released 19 years ago today, and the shell has never been the same! Share your shell stories and celebrate! Release modules and scripts as presents! Put em on #GitHub or #Tangled, share em on #BlueSky. #MVPBuzz Also, Happy Birthday to my Dad!

Might be hard to top this for a #LinkOfTheDay. Hat tip to @f15y.com ! iquilezles.org/articles/dis... Shows how to draw various shapes in #PixelShaders Might be useful to anyone learning #GameDev or #Graphics. Will be useful to future iterations of #Turtle #PowerShell #TurtleGraphics 🐢

If the #shutdown ends with nothing after 42+ days, it will show us what's wrong with life, the universe, and everything. #politics #opinion #news #HitchhikersGuide #GivingUp isn't the right thing to do. Especially if you're in office.

I'm going to try #CliffDiving with #PowerShell tonight. www.meetup.com/pacific-powe... Anyone else want to jump off the cliff? @steviecoaster.dev may have parachutes. Jump starts at 6 pm pacific time.

I'm not sure which is weirder: That #PowerShell has a release birthday one day before #XBox... Or that #XBox is older than #PowerShell Your thoughts?

So what does the assessment do? It's a PowerShell module that performs an INTENSIVE analysis of your tenant and provides guidance on how to remediate and secure your tenant.

@nekomimi.pet thanks for the follow! I've got some questions about Wisp and blobs. Would you mind shooting me a DM to discuss? Thanks!

In today's "try new #AtProto stuff" experiment, I've gone ahead and uploaded my Audio Visualizer wisp.place Thanks @wisp.place @nekomimi.pet for making an interesting product! Get your groove on. Give it a try! Hosting a static site on AtProto is easy! sites.wisp.place/mrpowershell...

Did you know #PowerShell has a load of built-in PEBKAC repellent? Learn all about it on Wednesday at the Pacific PowerShell user group where I teach you all you will hopefully need to know to add parameter validation to your code. 🔗 Link:

Decided to dip my toes into @tangled.org and make a string about #PowerShell strings: Enjoy this PowerShell string cheat sheet: tangled.org/strings/did:... Want more of these? Like / subscribe / lemme know which you prefer: #GitHub gists or #Tangled strings?

Just did some #math for how long it will take a new "endless" #SVG #Animation to repeat and I just made .NET overflow.😆 Five animations w/ five prime intervals: Time to repeat: 211 * 239 * 397 * 421 * 521 4391275473733 seconds ~50824947 days. ~139,246 years. 😆😎🐢 #TurtlePower

#HotTake 🌶️ : #PowerShell is what happens when #Linux lovers build an object oriented shell around #Windows technologies.

Just saying: I really wish that #OBS supported the browser source on #RaspberryPi (and that it would run without magic environment variables).

Just a quick #PowerShell #GitHub #CLI splatting trick: Use an array of arguments to save typing: i.e. $enhance = @('--label', 'enhancement') gh repo issue create --title sometitle --body somebody @enhance The more you use it, the more typing it saves!

Been stuck at 1666 total stars for a couple of days. Who wants to give one of my #GitHub projects a star so I can stop thinking about #History? mrpowershell.com/GitHub/

Just asking the internet: What #VideoGames do you know that used #Automation in their #GameDev #QA ? #PowerShell, #Python, #LUA and any other scripting language counts. Here are a couple of examples I know of (2nd hand): - #Halo - #Borderlands What games do you know were built with automation?

Hey #PowerShell people! Do you even [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline)] ? Drop by next week to learn all about parameter binding from @steviecoaster.dev ! www.meetup.com/pacific-powe...

I just spent my morning talking #PowerShell, #PowerShellUniversal, and #Turtle with @adamrdriscoll.com ! Adam is one of the brightest minds in PowerShell, and talking #WebDev shop with them is always the highlight of the day! Can't wait to see what comes from #PowerShellUniversal next!

Any #PowerShell people want to revive The Scripting Games? If so, want to help? The domain is coming up for renewal and I'm debating letting it go or building a new version ( maybe with some #AtProto as the backend ).

Heads up! I’m presenting for my friends at the PNW #PowerShell user group next week about parameter validation! This is a critical thing to master no matter where you are in your scripting journey. Join us for Cliff diving with PowerShell (And other bad ideas) at the link below!

Next week at the pacific #PowerShell user group, @steviecoaster.dev will be talking about parameter binding and cliff diving. Drop by to learn more than you ever wanted to know about PowerShell parameter binding. www.meetup.com/pacific-powe...

I got enough requests that I decided to experiment with Office Hours. This is an opportunity to discuss a wide range of topics, including: - PowerShell - Technology - Science - Philosophy - Whatever I look forward to connecting with you. calendar.app.google/PfayYCAYwTFG...

New bits of #Turtle #PowerShell are out! 🐢 Check out more than 130 examples of #TurtleGraphics #MathArt with short source code. psturtle.com/Commands/Get... Turtles can live in #HTML and use #CSS. They're a great way to generate #SVG assets for #WebDev and #GameDev. Enjoy the new #TurtlePower!

New bits of #Turtle #PowerShell just dropped! github.com/PowerShellWe... So much more #TurtlePower to play with, including: - #Bezier Curves - Pie Graphs - Circle Arcs - Suns - Vastly improved #SVG feature support - #CSS Keyframe support - Turtles can now be any <element> Have fun!

The scary thing is this is a legal #PowerShell command: bsky.app/profile/mrpo...

It's the little things... Like simultaneously running 100 #http #microservices from a single #PowerShell process on a #RaspberryPi, with plenty of box to spare. #WebDev with #PowerShell and packages is OP. Questions? Comments? Thoughts?

This #YouTube creator makes some of the most bizarrely insightful videos you could ever hope to find: youtu.be/Ctwc8t5CsQs?... #Infinity #Philosophy #Chess ( Not all chess )

Happy #Halloween from #PowerShell and #Turtle #Graphics #TurtlePower #Fractal #MathArt New build coming after a few more release notes. psturtle.com/Commands/Get...

In much more fun news, #PowerShell can manipulate packages in memory, and even use them as #microservices. This can be a very fast and secure way to do #WebDev and #GameDev. Think of it like virtualized compressed filesystems. Just make put in files and content types and away we go!

Words cannot express how many circles of hell I'm having to descend in figuring out how to make a minimal #Microsoft #Word document in pure #PowerShell and #DotNet. Took about a week to get a minimal document in less than 100 lines of code / #xml. The latest hell is making bullet points work. 😞😠🫤

Me every time I'm trying to decide on if I'm feature complete. To ship is to choose. Choosing is hard.

When you go to check your modules page and accidentally discover the #PowerShell gallery is down. mrpowershell.com/Modules (currently showing so many "inaccessible" badges)

#GitHub #Gist Get me the common mime types. A bit of #PowerShell to get a common mime types table from #MDN. Bonus points include a nice #Regex to pick out a given tag and turn it into #XML. gist.github.com/StartAutomat...

#GitHub #Gist get me the #PowerShell doc ratio: gist.github.com/StartAutomat...

#TodayILearned #TIL Today I accidentally learned that you can easily "underflow" a package content stream: provide a shorter string than you already have and the stream will still have the remainder. This is good to know. Bad side is bug potential. Good side is struct generation.
