The government said they aren’t releasing SNAP benefits in November — but ALDI is helping families out. Their Thanksgiving meal bundle feeds 10 people for just $40! 🦃 Available now through Christmas Eve, it includes 21 items (like a 14-lb turkey + sides). Share this with everyone!

The truth is, you’ll never really know how far your kindness travels. Something you said in passing might still be echoing in someone’s mind. A small act that felt routine to you might have meant everything to them. Don’t underestimate the ways you may have made a difference in someone’s life.

What if #Intune policy could promote itself based on success criteria I set in advance? 🧵 No more ClickOps. Just deploy, evaluate, and promote. Dev, Test, and Prod not as separate environments, but as 'containers'. Prod wouldn't be special, just the last deployment stop.

If you're using (or thinking of using) GitHub Actions with Graph, take note of this awesome detail!

What a week! Another fabulous @mmsmoa.bsky.social in the books. Picked up a lot of good info, met friends old and new, and had great conversations about real-life stuff with attendees! A little sad to be back home and in "normal" mode again, but looking forward to the next #MMSMOA!

Hanging out on Broadway in Nashville with the Belgians Tom and Kim. Great music and atmosphere! Nice way to come down from the #MMSMusicCity high.

In addition to ASL interpreters having an important job, they're also (sometimes) more interesting to watch than those for whom they interpret. Mad props for _any_ interpreter, TBH. I admire their ability to do what they do as seamlessly as they make it seem.

Truth. Most wouldn't call my printer "good," but I have it so dialed in and understand it deeply so that I can go months without printing and spawn something almost instantly. Case in point: I'm designing/modding/printing brackets for my permanent outdoor lights so they go up before it gets cold.

Hooray! It's Labor Day!

Listening and chuckling at @askgarth.com's OG "clickbait" concept for the blog-a-day! Good stuff here as always!

I'm doing a side project where I'm working on improving a couple of git's man pages and could really use a few test readers. if you're interested, sign up here! I'd especially love test readers who use git on the command line regularly but are not 100% comfortable with it forms.gle/gFVUgj79ifHe...

The Wheaton PO is too neat a facade to leave the bot's "backside" view as the official record. 😜

I don't care for the manosphere or any other form of toxic masculinity. The men I hang out with are kind, generous, & emotionally intelligent. I wanna be around people that bring out the best in each other. We grow to become better versions of ourselves every day & bring others up with us.

It's been super fun to play with the Ulanzi TC001 display with AWTRIX3. I set up NWS alerts in Home Assistant some time ago, but having an automation push the current notification to the display is another useful household thing to show off.

The recording for my session presented to the London #PowerShell User Group is now LIVE on their Youtube channel. If you're interested in learning how to make modern, beautiful UIs for your scripts, you should check it out! Happy Scripting!

Happy SysAdmin Day to those who fix problems before we notice them ... and only get noticed when something breaks.

In September, we're celebrating our 12th Birthday! This year, we're doing something new - we want to share YOUR stories. 👏🏻 Does Home Assistant help you in unexpected ways? Do you know of or have projects that inspire others? Fill out this Form and tell us about it! 👇🏼 #SmartHome #HomeAutomation

Anyone have a clean way to handle #MSGraph endpoints that only support POST for policy assignments? Trying to promote #Intune policies dev → test → prod, but unless I include all existing group assignments in the POST, they get wiped. Curious how others are approaching this.

Managing Python versions/dependencies as an infrequent Python developer is why folks don't develop stuff casually in Python. Every time I need to do something in a specific Python version it's a reminder why I dislike the larger Python ecosystem. The amount of stuff that breaks is utterly baffling.
