RE: https://fosstodon.org/@falkheiland/116673811464332586 … argh, we missed the chance for a „beer-up“. #psconfeu

I dislike apps that override my text - wtf, why do fediverse clients scramble my text and abbreviate my accounts. Anyhow, you see the correct bridged accounts on the screenshot. @psconf.eu @thorsten.butz.io

RE: https://twit.social/@thorstenbutz/116707456452759113 The bridged accounts

I see a shift towards BlueSky, but the world of micro-blogging is still convoluted. No matter would you like/prefer, imho these networks should be interconnected. The fediverse is not our „primary“ channel, but you can use these bridged accounts to stay current: @psconf.eu @thorsten.butz.io […]

#psconfeu 2026 shows up - 1 by 1 - on YT. We also feed a playlist for 2026. If you prefer Fediverse over BlueSky, you might wanna check out the bridged accounts to be updated. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDCEho7foSorKmHihaqGohyfWSMW5ZYOq&si=QT50iVVwm3-xLhZz

Why prepare the slide deck before the conference when you can do it during the keynote? Miriam, the unparalleled expert, knows all about 'just in time' creation. #psconfeu

Ups, I made it to the slides. Thanks for having me, #psconfeu 💙

Meine letzte gute Tat für dieses Jahr: Eine neue Folge der Sliding Windows ist im Kasten. #slwcast

Since today is the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere (aka begin of winter), it’s a perfect match with my PoShaKucha „about_Epochs“. All you ever wanted to know about calendars but were afraid to ask. https://youtu.be/frbtbLPvN24

I‘ll be available in our Gather world this morning (Friday). Any Q related to #psconfeu 2026 ? Check your abstracts (CfP end this weekend)? Thinking about a PoShKucha? Bike tour? Let’s chat !

Die goldene Brücke zu meinem Vortrag: gleich geht’s genau darum , ebenfalls in Raum 1 : 2FA, MFA #cimlingen 2025

Jetzt macht Mark sich bei mir unbeliebt : Mark warnt vor der besten Shell der Welt bei der #cimlingen 2025. Mark, it’s not a bug - it’s a feature ! #powershell

Mark Heitbrink (gruppenrichtlinien.de) müht sich redlich, ungeliebte Wahrheiten unter das Volk zu bringen bei der #cimlingen 2025 ! Applocker und so, Ihr wisst schon !

Heute bei der #cimlingen 2025 gibt es Geschenke ! Seid dabei in Raum 1, wenn ich der Frage nachspüre: „Zweiter Faktor - doppelt Ärger?“

The #otp module is extremely helpful, particularly in test environments with numerous MFA-enabled accounts. No need to fiddle around with smartphones anymore, which is extremely helpful in seminars and workshops. #powershell #mct Check it out, let me know what you think!

I have created a module to manage #otp authentication. It can also be used as an excellent testing tool in lab environments and for normal daily authentication. Install-Module -Name OTP You can find some guidance on the project site. https://github.com/thorstenbutz/OTP #powershell
