RDP WebAuthn redirection is implemented as a dynamic virtual channel plugin in C:\Windows\System32\webauthn.dll. For the fun of it, I asked GitHub Copilot in VSCode to make a plan to implement the DVC COM APIs in Rust such that it could be loaded in IronRDP. I let it run during a meeting. It works:

Good news: VSCode finally shows detailed context window usage
Bad news: Claude Opus 4.6 is capped at 128K just like all the other models
I don't really notice the difference, but just knowing it's capped at 128K with no option to increase it is annoying

Do you want quick and easy PowerShell Remoting over SSH that you can *automate* with password authentication? Public key authentication is obviously better, but the initial configuration is often done using password-based authentication.

What are good strategies for maintaining a downstream fork in GitHub, with a clean upstream branch without any downstream changes, and a downstream master branch which is frequently rebased on top of the upstream? Pull requests and branch protection don't play well with this kind of approach

Let's say you could control a swarm of 100 PowerShell processes through PSRemoting, what are use cases for parallel processing you'd think of using them for?
Don't tell me it takes more system resources than in-process parallelism - I know that already. You get full process isolation, use it wisely

I'm curious about @supabase.com - my understanding is it's a nice cloud-based Postgres with support for PostgREST, which automatically exposes Postgres through an HTTP REST API.
Have you used it before and what have you built using it?
