I think it's a safe bet that 98% of your free'd space was node_modules 🤣

The `-x` flag removed ignored files. You could just exclude that to leave ignored files alone. You could also use `-i` to do it interactively.

Don't forget to `git gc` while you're at it!

Helping me write my comment based help was one of the first things to convince me of using LLM's. Especially since it was able to get the context from the code.

If you want it, then others may also. Maybe try building it? There's definitely Windows Update commands. Are you trying to upgrade from 10 to 11? Or just major version (e.g. 23H2 to 24H2)?

FYI it's literally `irm wled.local/json%60 post with a body of `{'ps': 1}`. I'm definitely going to be using more WLED API.

Hmm.. what about a "progress bar" for the meeting.

Cool. Chatted with Marius who owns this now. He delisted the latest version. I suggested bumping major version just to be safe. I look forward to seeing improvements 💜

Looks like this is getting picked up in github.com/PSModule/Jwt and a new build (with just template code) was published.

Looks like the current version is just a template that is missing any actual code. Coming from github.com/PSModule/Jwt where the original was coming from github.com/SP3269/posh-.... I have no idea how this could have happened.

100% this. Maintaining backwards compatibility is a huge burden and one that can't (and shouldn't) be shirked. This is what it means to support enterprise software.

That has been the first legitimate set of criticisms about PS I've seen on bsky. I can't disagree with most of this (especially around package management). I would say Pester has a learning curve.

The alternative to a restricted terminal would be worse. Think of launching as Administrator like using sudo (you can even use gsudo to do the same). Now imagine if ~~everyone~~ everything had sudo access.

Yea, you're not wrong. I never just open a result from the search. I usually have to dig into things to see what's going on and that almost always means going to the (hopefully configured) repo link.

I don't disagree that the PSGallery leaves a lot to be desired, but what do you see from GitHub that would make you prefer it? I mean I definitely go from PSGallery to GitHub to review what the code does, etc. But I don't think I've ever found the GH package experience that great.
