It was worth the wait... the #SmithBlade from @smithhack.bsky.social Everything is meticulously crafted and feels amazing. P.S. I can't wait to go tour HERC, just waiting until they're not still overwhelmed

Native support for containers is now available in WSL with `wslc` drop in for docker. 1. Update WSL `wsl --update --pre-release` 2. Run Hello World `wslc run --rm -it ubuntu:latest bash -c "echo Hello world from WSL container!"`

Pretty cool app from Joe, draw the icon that you can't remember the name/enum and it will find the closest match(es). github.com/TheJoeFin/Wi...

Hot of the press - the new #winappsdk v2.2.0 was just released. New APIs and a bunch of fixes. github.com/microsoft/Wi... #winui #windowsappsdk #winappsdk #windev

As I promised, here's the link for everyone who asked about my badge at Build thegithubshop.com/products/202...

In San Fran for #MSBuild! If you're here, too, come by and say hi while Im doing booth duty (booth G219, Progress Software)

I replaced NPM with Pangolin, its amazing (and uses Traefik behind the scenes)

Do you use Hugo or similar static site generator? I just figured out how to replace the twitter-shortcode with a custom bluesky-shortcode template. This was perfect for my blog posts because I needed to update all Twitter embeds to Bluesky embeds. Enjoy! github.com/LanceMcCarth...

Really Samsung? Why no $1000 trade in for my current Fold 7? Nope, I'll wait until the #trifold is out of early access, so I don't create more-waste.

I'm loving #HomeAssistant new energy tracking features. My place in Costa Rica is killing it with "100% Self-sufficiency" and "100% Self-consumed solar energy".

Im an independent judge at #MIT #realityhack 2016 hackathon today. Bonus, I bumped into @jbmcculloch.bsky.social here.

I discovered Pangolin this week and it is a godsend. I bought a supporter key within an hour of implementing it. It instantly replaced my nginxproxymanager and site-to-site ipsec (and 3 other things). My homelab life significantly easier :) If you selfhost, check it out github.com/fosrl/pangolin

I knew this from day one www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... i would also recommend looking for all the back doors HeWhoMustNotBeNamed had them integrate into every system to datamine.

Finally getting back to Bluesky after many months of being head-down on a project. How's the community going?

It's that time of year again! @realityhackatmit.com, my fav hackathon 💻⚡☕🥽 I'll be judging again, my 3rd (or 4th? time), and every... single... time is🔥 Want to play? Apps are open until midnight tonight (Dec23 11:59 EST) realityhack.world/apply #HackToTheFuture #DreamMachines

Still using Windows 10? The extended security updates (ESU) program is here, see www.microsoft.com/en-us/window... for details on how to activate it.

This is so annoying. The latest Microsoft Edge updates now permanently keep this stupid "manage extensions" button in the toolbar

Just created my custom GitHub Universe wallpaper using Octocanvas from #GitHubUniverse 🎨

Congrats to the #ESPHome team for today's huge update esphome.io/changelog/20...! I'm installing to Home Assistant right now 🛠️

Thanks to @jesseliberty.com for having me on the show today, it was a blast.

LOL @jcsalterego.bsky.social did they target me with this example or did they blast you to the entire world?

I've run out of space. Does this mean I'm officially an OG now? #MVPBuzz

Thank you @microsoftmvp.bsky.social I am again extremely humbled and honored. While this is my 12th consecutive year, I never treat it with any less importance, my heart is pounding right now. #MVPBuzz #dotnet #windowsdev

Excellent blog post from the devs at Flight Aware flightaware.engineering/falsehoods-p...

I'm not going to need an update for a while... or ever again :D #UniFi #Ubiquiti #Homelab

Way to go Microsoft Partner Center!

Interesting LLM jailbreak approach. I imagine this is going to get harder and harder to guardrail against, because it takes significantly longer context awareness. neuraltrust.ai/blog/echo-ch...

This "one small trick"... got my uplink speed to double :) The trick? Instead of Cat6 to DOCSIS modem, I used an SFP+ to Ethernet module... this gets the full 2.5 Gbps out of the Cat6 Though my ISP can only bring 1.5 GBs, I'm still getting 2x what I was before the module.

YEEEEAS! #Spaceballs2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewKu...

I'm loving my Windows Terminal shaders. I have a different one playing for each console type: PowerShell, Bash, WSL, Console, etc. What do you think? You can get the same ones, or others, from here mrange.github.io/windows-term...

To my Euro friends, I'm planning a London trip in a few months (in August for my birthday). We are trying to pick hotel, but everything looks extra touristy. What would you recommend for 4 or 5 star hotels and what area should be our base?

It's amazing that I have a huge air conditioner blowing, and a bunch of other stuff in house... But there's still a surplus of energy generation that is charging the battery. #solarpower

I hadn't heard from them aout this, so I thought we didn't achieve it... but alas, here it is!

Oooo, I was looking for my next pick.

Did Samsung not do user trials before rolling out this phone update? Maybe only with iPhone users... once they couldn't tell the difference between that and iOS, Samsung said "SHIP IT" Samsung, this sucks. It's a blatant clone of iOS and compete waste of space.

I am shocked I tell you, shocked! /s South Korea says DeepSeek transferred user data to China and the U.S. without consent ground.news/article/the-...

That's kind of ballsy from Hertz, to send me email for "member only deals"... but not send me an email about the data breach I'm in? If I weren't in security, I would not have known.
