When you finally figure out how to animate your #CSS repeating gradient background and it brings your page performance to it's knees. 🫤

I will say this for my own #Windows / #Linux debate: The #RaspberryPi updater can really bring those little boxes to a halt doing nothing more than downloading patches. 🤷 Who knew I would find myself missing Windows Update ?

#BackInMyDay I made a feed for "Back In My Day" and "I'm so old" posts. Probably the most entertaining and varied feed I've made yet.... bsky.app/profile/did:...

Now that I've got a #PowerShell module to help, I've been playing with making #CSS gradients. #FridayFun conclusion: CSS gradients are really cool 🤩 mrpowershell.com/CSS/Gradients

Hot off the press, a new PowerShell module PSNetDetour which you can use to hook any (caveats of course) .NET method and have it run your ScriptBlock instead. Great for experimentation, debugging, testing github.com/jborean93/PS...

@standard.site it would be amazing if you could post examples of the standard.site lexcions from this account 🙏 That way, it would be possible to use #atproto #xrpc repo.listRecords on this account to see how to implement a standard.site

Cybersec: Don't download an exe/scr/bat/lnk/cmd/arj/lzh from anyone. Even if you know them. Don't click on embedded gifs that don't load properly, cause they can be Powershell scripts. Discord allows users to easily disguise links now, so hover over to see where they actually go to.

New #AtProto feed alert! #BackInMyDay Contains any "Back in My Day" or "I'm so old posts" (for all of us older people getting more and more in on the joke) Back In My Day, Grandpa Simpson was a throwaway joke. Now he's a ghost of things to come. bsky.app/profile/did:... Thanks @graze.social !

#PowerShell Get-Member + "let's see what this does" is the original #VibeCoding IMO, still more fun and more predictable results.

@tangled.org just opened a bunch of issues on a repo and found myself desperately wanting a "preview" tab. I'll make it one more Tangled issue for the day if you tell me where I should put that particular wish.

#PowerShell on #Linux is a Beast Object pipelines and thread jobs mean much lighter local web app hosting than process isolation. Talking 1000+ nodes on a #RaspberryPi levels of "much lighter". Give it a try sometime. I promise it's fun. bsky.app/profile/mrpo...

I just found out #RottenTomatoes doesn't capture my old blurb on "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" and now I have a bit of the blues. IMO, this weird old #IndieMovie needs to be seen by more people. www.imdb.com/title/tt0106... #ImSoOld I gotta see if I can even convert my .doc files anymore

Called myself a "Gen 2" old school #developer today. - Gen 1: Computers didn't exist when they were born - Gen 2: Personal computers were rare. - Gen 3: Web was new, computers were slow. - Gen 4: Web is common, computers are quick What #DeveloperGeneration are you in? #ImSoOld jokes welcome ...

Adding random color gradients to #Turtle 🐢 and a bunch of new shapes. Here's a sample triflower How's it looking? #PowerShell #SVG #PNG #Graphics

Some days I wonder if it would literally kill most developers to add comments.

The slightly more recent #PowerShell release is a little mini module for multiple groups: github.com/StartAutomat... Quickly create nested groupings with natural syntax: For example: ~~~PowerShell dir -Recurse -File | organize LastWriteTime.Year/Month/Day ~~~

My first #PowerShell modules of 2026 have dropped! Yesterday dropped a little module making #CSS #Shapes github.com/PowerShellWe... (just making the syntax more simple) Going to make a #GitHub page and more examples later this week. Try it now if you'd like...

@googleballs.com I have to ask... are you bad? I took a look at your page. And at the bottom... "What's this random #cloudflare script?" And then: "Why does it have #crypto references in it?" Call me concerned. #CyberSecurity #InfoSec #FYI #GoogleBalls #KickedMe bsky.app/profile/mrpo...

If you're playing with #GoogleBalls today and running a #PowerShell script to launch a website, please consider what damage that might do. Mind your box. Remember, #NERD: Never execute return data (especially with #PowerShell) Don't get kicked in the #GoogleBalls. bsky.app/profile/mrpo...

If we're going to keep going full 1980s, can we at least get a new New Wave? Until then, here's some old new wave (with a cool video) youtu.be/c1GxjzHm5us

#PowerShell #Usability mantra to live by: "Don't Worry, Be Alias Happy" Aliases make commands and parameters easier to remember and easier to bind. If you want your PowerShell to be easy to use: Don't worry, Be Alias happy.

I made a safe #WebDev repl for #Turtle and #PowerShell. Like, safe enough to give to family. Going to be giving my nieces a #RaspberryPi later today. 🎁 Then gonna try to get them inspired to learn about #STEM and #Programming. (They are ~5 and 8) 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 🐢🐢🐢🐢 🎁🎁🎁 🤷🤷 🎄 ( Wish me luck )

It seems like people are always dunking on #PowerShell syntax. Lemme ask the world this: What langs do you know that support fully natural syntax? For example: ~~~PowerShell help Get-Command # or gradient red green blue ~~~ Anyone got anything?

#TodayILearned #TIL #NerdNews Apparently, the #Astronomy Picture of the Day full archive has a #y2k bug 😂 apod.nasa.gov/apod/ Pictures go back to 95. URLs have six digits. In about 75 years, this is gonna be a problem. 😆 Should be as easy to fix as the original Y2K bugs.

Any #PowerShell #MacOS people have a good wallpaper setting script hanging around? @steviecoaster.dev you got one / know anyone?

Guess it's now official. The #MTV generation has outlasted MTV. They left this world like they entered it. Playing "Video Killed the Radio Star" youtu.be/W8r-tXRLazs?...

Hit my mark! 🎯 Over 2500 #GitHub contributions in 2025! 😎 github.com/StartAutomat... #HappyNewYear! 🪩 So much new #PowerShell in 2025! ( #Turtle is my fav 🐢) Stay tuned for new #css #svg #html #powershell #gamedev #webdev #atproto #toys 🎁 in the #NewYear! 😉 🙏 Like, Share, Subscribe 🙏

Any significantly advanced educated guess is indistinguishable from magic.

Any other nerds ever shoot themselves in the foot with a ricochet? mrpowershell.com/GitHub This page lost layout yesterday. The layout script adds a header if a page lacks the <html> tag. I also posted this new tool: bsky.app/profile/mrpo... For 1000 points, tell me: What broke & why?

Just dropped a little #CSS #SVG gradient generator module github.com/PowerShellWe... #Example : $gradient = Gradient '#4488ff', '#224488' "<html><style>" "body { max-width: 100vw; width: 100vh; background:$gradient}" "</style></html>" > ./gradient.html #PowerShell #WebDev #FTW

Having a bit too much fun with my #PowerShell #Turtle #REPL #WebDev experiment. Pretty happy with the perf, considering it's running on a #RaspberryPi with a single node while recording video in #OBS Code being run in alt text. 🎵 is "Space Invader" by Hatiras, J-Magik Remix.

I feel like #BlueSky likes should have a higher convert rate #GitHub stars. 🙏 Please, for the love of traction. 🙏 Like the post. Star the repo.

Ever want to make #Markdown with #PowerShell? What about quickly query tables? MarkX is a new tool that lets you easily make markdown and treat #Markdown as #XML. Enjoy! github.com/StartAutomat...

Seriously asking: Who wants a secure rapid #webdev #repl environment ? Some recent experiments may be released from the lab. #PowerShell #Cybersecurity #FYI

#TIL I learned there's a pair of special OCR characters for bank account info: symbol | hex | name ⑆ | 0x2446 | ocr-branch-bank-identification ⑉ | 0x2449 | ocr-customer-account-number Good #CSS news - we can style financial information 😀 Bad #Cybersecurity news - attackers could scan for this 🫤

#TIL there is actually a proper symbol for "fork" and "inverted fork". They're buried in the "optical character recognition" block ⑂ - Fork - 0x2442 ⑃ - Inverted Fork - 0x2443 Bonus points: Guess it works as a hashtag, too! #⑂ingGreat #CSS class: .ocr-fork-list { list-style: '\2442'}

Happy holidays! 😀 #PowerShell #WindowsTerminal #Sixel

Merry Christmas PwSh people!

Hey #PowerShell people and masters of #Markdown : 2025 holiday #JoyToTheWorld code drops continue! Hot off the press: MarkX - github.com/StartAutomat... Markdown, XML, and PowerShell (oh my!) Queryable Markdown! Easy table creation! Strongly typed datatables! Enjoy! 🎁🎄🎁🎄🎁 #xmas #gift #data

This season, we’re thankful for our speakers, attendees, sponsors, volunteers, and community members. 🌎✨ Happy Holidays from the PowerShell + DevOps Global Summit—wishing you a restful break and an exciting year of learning and collaboration ahead. 🚀 #PSHSummit26

Plagiarism was a problem before #AI. See questions 3 & 4 from The Five Rubrics: mrpowershell.com/Wisdom/The-F... 3. "Who Else Does It?" 4. "What Can They Do About It?" 9/10, if someone else does it, they can just copy your killer feature and leave you in the dust. bsky.app/profile/bsch...

Just figured out how to make a digital clock using only #CSS keyframes! (got a few things to do before I can write up a small post to share) Stay tuned!

Hey #PowerShell people, #accessibility aficionados, and #cybersecurity engineers: In light of the whole "One Battle After Another" thing, I made a module for Subtitles. 🎁 github.com/StartAutomat... Supports #SRT and #VTT 🎁 Lets you Get, Export, and Search-Subtitles. 🎄 #xmas #gift #merryxmas

v2.4.0 of #PowerShell module ClassExplorer is released! New commands Invoke-Member and Get-AssemblyLoadContext github.com/SeeminglySci...

I swear scam calls are picking their fake names out of a joke book. Just got a human calling with the supposed name of "Edward Gross". 🤦 Whose next, Seymour Butts? 🤦🤦

Me at 2351 #GItHub contributions for the year, with a hopeful goal of 2500 in 2025. Just ~16 issues day for 10 more days. Working on a massive collection of #CSS, #SVG, #HTML, and #JavaScript all built with #PowerShell to pull me over the finish line. Stay tuned. #WebDev #NYE #xmas #HolidayCheer

@philco.bsky.social Hey there it seems like you're working on some stuff I've also dabbled with. Old console to #SVG converter here: github.com/StartAutomat... Lots more incredible SVG here: psturtle.com/Commands/Get... Enjoy!

I don't know about you, but I love it when #GitHub issue numbers feel accidentally ominous: github.com/PowerShellWe... All I'm trying to do is make a minimal #PowerShell #WebDev #REPL. 😆 How ominous could that be? 😅
