I wrote a new post about a specific parameter on Backup-DbaDatabase that I didn't know existed.
The @dbatools.io module always amazes me, even though I use it everyday!

dbatools Backup-DbaDatabase -ReplaceInName
Recently I was reading the docs for `Backup-DbaDatabase` and found a parameter I didn't realise existed, but is so useful when you want to automate backups, but keep control of the file names.

We did a thing!
DES (not even 3DES) has been a pain in our necks for years, but we couldn't remove it for compat reasons. It required special config to use so it's not dangerous out of the box, but it's still just...ugh, DES.
Anyway, we said enough is enough and now the code is getting deleted.

I found a domain controller that was moonlighting as a print server this week. Not naming names, but the owner of that one is getting a stern love letter every week until the print server role is moved to a different server and the service is disabled! 🔥🖨️🖤

If you use group policy to manage your domain-joined workstations and want to control the settings for uBlock Origin, @the_aquamarine has you covered. I just found this repo with ADMX templates for the browser extension.

how i'd learn machine learning in 2025 if i had to start from scratch:
1. find a log that i initially planned to turn into a table leg
2. make it into a puppet that can walk and talk
3. have the puppet, through a series of adventures, turn into a real boy and realize the true value of friendship
