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.

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!

@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"
