I wrote a (German) article about the new edition of Desired State Configuration, DSC v3. To kick things off, I conducted an interview with @gaelcolas.bsky.social , which you can read (without a paywall) in English with the link below.

Congratulazioni, Italia!
A historic win π

There are no greater differences than between (e.g.) German and (e.g.) France #Rugby. While sixnations are the sporting event with the highest average attendance and almost ludicrous pricing (3 to 4 digits), the German and Swiss team play on somthing like a school yard.
BUT you can watch both on TV
I am watching Wales against Ireland. Not against the βRepublic of Irelandβ, but the whole island of Ireland. North and south combined. Piecefully.
Thatβs possible in Rugby π , why not everywhere?
Fun fact: they play 2 hymns for the Irish.
If you are not occasionally overwhelmed by what is going on with AI, you are either:
1) Not paying attention.
2) Not understanding what you are seeing.
3) Made of much sturdier stuff than I.
Definitely worth reading, check it out !

Makes me smile ..

Hello World, hello MCTs !
This account is meant to be a central hub for MCTs, especially for all the things community driven. A website will follow and maybe more.
Put a hashtag #MCT in your related posts, make yourself visible as an MCT/alumni.
My favorite video with Jeffrey Snover:

I watch this often since I regularly show this in my trainings. Itβs getting more interest day after day, year after year.
Jeffrey talks about #Powershell v1 and itβs βunique selling pointβ. He nails it so beautifully, a must watch.
Now that MDT is gone and Michaelβs successor deployR is released, I can gladly recommend the interview that I recorded with Michael last year.

The most amazing thing about MD is, that it finally delivers what Tim Berners Lee always envisioned for βThe Webβ: anyone should (or can) be a Crestor as much as a consumer. MD delivers the promise of HTML.
I highly recommend reading the blog post and also Timβs book βWeaving the webβ.
Been working on this one for a while β it's a little bit of history of a key foundation of internet technology, and a little bit of an explainer about how people _actually_ invent things. This is the amazing (true!) story of how Markdown took over the world. www.anildash.com/2026/01/09/h...
I built my personal website in a few hours by pairing with #GitHub Copilot.

Meine letzte gute Tat fΓΌr 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), itβs a perfect match with my PoShaKucha βabout_Epochsβ. All you ever wanted to know about calendars but were afraid to ask.
