LOL @jcsalterego.bsky.social did they target me with this example or did they blast you to the entire world?

I've run out of space. Does this mean I'm officially an OG now?

Thank you @microsoftmvp.bsky.social I am again extremely humbled and honored.

While this is my 12th consecutive year, I never treat it with any less importance, my heart is pounding right now. #MVPBuzz #dotnet #windowsdev

Wow that is a lot of time, what's the host device? Email me if you want to chat further.

I have ~6 years of stuff in my HA journey... but I do a bi-yearly review for stuff that is not used anymore and I have consolidated/transferred to more efficient types (e.g. remote API to Matter).

This "one small trick"... got my uplink speed to double :)

The trick? Instead of Cat6 to DOCSIS modem, I used an SFP+ to Ethernet module... this gets the full 2.5 Gbps out of the Cat6

Though my ISP can only bring 1.5 GBs, I'm still getting 2x what I was before the module.

I'm loving my Windows Terminal shaders. I have a different one playing for each console type: PowerShell, Bash, WSL, Console, etc.

What do you think? You can get the same ones, or others, from here mrange.github.io/windows-term...

It's amazing that I have a huge air conditioner blowing, and a bunch of other stuff in house... But there's still a surplus of energy generation that is charging the battery.

I hadn't heard from them aout this, so I thought we didn't achieve it... but alas, here it is!

Just Blogged: dvlup.com/blog/2024.03...

Where I show you how to use GitHub Actions to code sign your .NET MAUI WinUI's MSIX packages without a single password or secret.

I'm really liking that Visual Studio is showing the README of NuGet packages now. I'll redesign mine to better suit VS2022 users...

Decided today was the day I wanted to spin up Windows 95 for the classic startup sound :D

Found a good way to use my old Surface Book 2 ;) Too nice to throw away, but low powered enough to detach the keyboard and use as an #unraid server!

No cheating... go to your browser and type in "store". What is your most frequent/top result?

Here's mine (of course it is 😅). #Homelab #networking #nerdhobbies

@adorablecyborg.bsky.social Do you know which Discord channel I should ask for guidance with this? All these broke at the same time after the 2024.12.5 update, the common exception across all them are:

"Setup failed for 'assist_pipeline': Could not setup dependencies: conversation"
