No Sir, but I'm looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones again this year - see you there!

People keep personifying LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude, and I find myself imagining these models are like Bob in the "We Are Legion (We Are Bob)" book / Bobiverse series.

Not sure if coincidence but also Robert (Bob) Daly in Black Mirror USS Callister episodes has digital clone enslaved in game.

Screenshot of an anti-phishing training email with a fake conversation between fake employees "LMAO" and "ROFL"

I love that the username portion of the fake people in this anti-phishing email I just got are "LMAO" and "ROFL"

Also, MCP servers are just web APIs with a contract. We already have web APIs, and mature methods of handling authentication. 🙄

So much of what is created in the AI/LLM/agent space feels like it's being done by people with no development background or an intense need for everything to seem novel.

Thank you. I've been saying the same thing, just not as loudly lol...

Filling your repo with markdown files with detailed instructions for all the things you want your coding agent to do well is exactly the kind of thing we should have been doing to ensure human developers could code well all along

Cool, same! It's definitely one of the challenges of sharing powershell scripts with non-technical folks. Probably why there are those ps1-to-exe tools out there, though they usually get flagged by antivirus and, well, yeah they probably should be lol

What's your strategy for making a powershell script run via double-click? Typically it opens in an editor, or you can right-click > run. I've seen lots of people use a bat file to run a powershell command or script.

$installer = Start-BGProcess -FileName 'installer.exe' -Arguments --quiet while (-not $installer.HasExited) { $installer | Read-BGProcess -Wait } Write-Verbose "Installer exited with exit code $($installer.ExitCode)"

Welcome Documentation for the BGProcess PowerShell module.

I just rediscovered a little #powershell module I wrote a few years ago. I originally wrote it for reading/writing from interactive processes like netsh but it comes in handy for kicking off installers and streaming their stdout too.

Hate when that happens!

It was satisfying. I hope enough people do that and Microsoft reconsiders allowing CBP recruitment ads on any of their platforms.

At this point a proudboys ad would be less controversial (I know many of these agents are current/former members of those kinds of groups anyway).

A recruitment ad for CBP / Immigration and Customs Enforcement showed up in my LinkedIn feed this evening.

Report of dangerous extremist organization sent.

Submitting report of a dangerous extremist organization.

Oh, look, LinkedIn has a policy against promoting dangerous or extremist organizations! How fitting.

A recruitment ad for CBP / Immigration and Customs Enforcement showed up in my LinkedIn feed this evening.

So I did my duty and reported the dangerous extremist organization. Promoting such hateful and violent extremists is against their ToS after all.

#abolishice

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again in professional contexts:

"Actually yeah, there's a command in the module for that! Here's the docs page with examples, let me know if you have any questions!"

I haven't looked at how this is done on linux yet but I'm gonna guess it'll be easier - maybe adding the folder containing the native assemblies to LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

Easily call the SetDllDirectory Win32 API function from PowerShell Easily call the SetDllDirectory Win32 API function from PowerShell - DllDirectoryManager.psm1

Ever struggled with DllNotFoundException errors in #powershell? I had this problem in a #csharp module and solved it with a p/invoke call to SetDllDirectory.

Saw a post in /r/PowerShell where the native assemblies used by Mime couldn't be loaded and wrote this. Works in PowerShell 5.1 and 7+.

Downgraded to cloudflare/cloudflared:2026.1.2 while I look into secure DNS options again.

cloudflared proxy-dns command will be removed starting February 2, 2026 To address a vulnerability in an underlying library, the `cloudflared proxy-dns` command will be removed from new `cloudflared` releases. Users are advised to migrate to the Cloudflare WARP client or ...

Anyone else's "WiFi down" this morning? My daughter was interrogating me the moment I woke up this morning. I have three sync'd piholes and they all use cloudflared to proxy DNS requests for DoH. Turns out I missed the memo about the impending removal of the proxy-dns command last year.

I'm gonna need every Technology Connections video from now on to include a call to #abolishice until it happens 🤘

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!

Yep, watch out for that guy! You might learn something.

I made myself a little function just for that scenario a while back. Usually the reason you need a new shell to use the newly installed tool us because your #powershell session's PATH env var isn't updated. But you can update it yourself.
