Anyone have a favorite #VSCode extension for viewing CSV files as clean tables? I'm just using #PowerShell `Import-Csv` in the terminal right now, but would like an extension so I can have a tab with a CSV open as well. I see a variety of them available and was hoping for recommendations. Thank you!

Imagine my surprise when I discovered a piece of software in use at an org I was helping was logging the service account username, PASSWORD, and hostname in clear text in one of its password files. Better believe I reached out to them. All the more reason I wish more things supported gMSA.

Just received a nostalgic flashbang of a flashback when I scrolled past a screenshot of the original #MSNmessenger. We've really come a ways in the last couple of decades, haven't we?

New #Tron movie is exciting. Daft Punk not being together to do the music is sad.

Parallelism is awesome. And unrelated, the Exchange Team's blog is awesome.

I don't yet know what happened to my install of the #MicrosoftGraph #PowerShell Module, but it would be neat if it hadn't done whatever it did this morning to stop working. Off to troubleshoot.

Hey #Microsoft #Windows #sysadmins. What is your preferred approach for templating Windows VMs? Golden image w/ all the hardening /baseline config maintained on it, OR a raw Windows install with GPO/scripts/other automations to keep the VM configured/compliant? Interested in discussion.

Went and saw Star Wars Revenge of the Sith for the anniversary of the movie. Very nostalgic, and while very enjoyable, it certainly didn't stand up to what I remember from when I was younger. That said, it was great to go see it and now I kind of want to watch 1-6 again.

Most people think #PowerShell is just for scripts and terminals. Did you know you can use it to build modern WinUI3 GUIs All powered by a new tool called WinUIShell by famed module author @mdgrs.bsky.social Check out the full video for more! 1/2

YES! Tab groups appear to be coming to #Firefox. This is a feature I use quite a bit. Now if only we could get PWA support and better multi-profile management... currently more than 2.6k upvotes on #MozillaConnect connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/bri...

This probably seems like such a minor thing, but thank you @samerde.day3bits.com! This was preventing me from importing Microsoft.Entra module earlier today (I've downgraded until the next build including that fix is released). github.com/microsoftgra...

My world if the PowerDNS API allowed you to update a single record instead of pulling and pushing the entire zone.

Love seeing people create stuff like this! I had created something similar while working at my last org, but not quite as tidy as this. The PowerShell Universal community is so cool.

To be honest I kinda forgot this evening existed. Lo and behold I have it installed.

I managed to squeeze SQL Server and Devolutions Server for Linux in a tiny Ubuntu Server 22.04 VM with just 1GB of RAM and 2 vCPUs. It's barely using the swap file, so not bad at all! The biggest issue was bypassing the SQL Server startup memory check: github.com/awakecoding/...

My monthly reminder for refugees from the hellscape and Bluesky newbies. Update your Bluesky profile with a meaningful description and a profile photo. It is also customary to post a short introduction. These steps make it easier for people to find you and engage.

I wish people would respect "No Soliciting" signs. Is there a spam filter/adblock for my front door?

Running monoliths in #LastEpoch tonight. The timelines mechanic, travel between them, and then the monolith system at the end of time are some of my absolute favorite parts of this game.
