Just one command can help you stop leaking secrets into your public code. Give your repositories essential security hygiene with gh-secure from the GitHub Security Lab. ✅ Install and use it in the Copilot app, Copilot CLI, or GitHub CLI. https://gh.io/gh-secure

VS Code has been very slow to load up for me lately. Probably time for me to do some debloating of my extensions 😛

Happy to share that I was renewed as an MS MVP, and congrats to all of the other MVPs getting renewed today. Here's to another year of learning, sharing, and growing together. #MVPBuzz

#PowerShell Runtime Containers for 7.6.3, 7.5.7, and 7.4.17 are now available. ghcr.io/justingrote/...

Kinda neat how they did this as a single exe

Introducing psign: portable code signing. every file format, every signing method, every platform 👇 No more "let's run this on Windows because of signtool.exe". Say yes to code signing from Linux! 🚀 github.com/Devolutions/...

Did you see PowerToys has a new utility to make it easier to move windows? You just need to hold ALT or the Windows key and you can drag anywhere on the window Aka.ms/PowerToys

All it took was 5 💖s to convince me to write the blog 😄. Here you go: blog.danskingdom.com/Host-website...

Brilliant idea!

When's the last time you decommissioned an application? Did you miss anything? blog.danskingdom.com/The-part-of-...

Is there any parent that hasn’t tried this? 🤣

At least once a week people are trying to make #Gifs with #PowerShell and #ffmpeg I wish more people knew RoughDraft existed 😞 github.com/StartAutomat... ~~~PowerShell ConvertTo-Gif ./video.mp4 -Start '00:00:01' -End '00:00:02' ~~~ 🙏 spread the word re: bsky.app/profile/bran...

If you work in #VisualStudio you'll want to check out these awesome extensions by the one-and-only @madskristensen.net

My #PowerShell Runtime Containers for #docker and #podman have been updated to include the newly released 7.6.0, as well as every supported version since 7.4, in noble-distroless and azurelinux-distroless flavors. Check them out!

Had a great week of learning at #MVPSummit. Chatted with old friends and made some new ones. Already looking forward to doing it again next year. Now taking a break in the sunshine (finally got sun on the last day!) before playing with the new shiny stuff later.

⚠️ If you maintain Azure DevOps extensions, be careful with the unpublish/delete function. Once deleted, you cannot republish extensions anymore. This change was silently announced here and activated today. github.com/microsoft/vs...

Booo, Air Canada cancelled my connecting flight while I was mid-flight, so now I have an 11 hour layover and will miss the entire #MVPSummit pre-day 😞 Still looking forward so connecting with other MVPs the rest of the week tho

Two days ago, the new LTS version of PowerShell, 7.6, was released. In this short blog post, I will highlight its key features and improvements. #PowerShell #LTS powershellisfun.com/2026/03/20/p...

I decided to rename my module. Now it's called "GliderUI": github.com/mdgrs-mei/Gl... Cross-platform desktop GUI framework for #PowerShell built using Avalonia. - Runs on Windows, macOS and Linux - You can build GUIs by code or XAML - No more freezing GUIs

Messing around with a C# Source Generator for PowerShell cmdlets. You can use it to create .NET classes based on PowerShell cmdlets and invoke them like classes. github.com/adamdriscoll...

Published a new module called AvaloniaUIShell, (the world's first?) cross-platform desktop GUI framework for PowerShell. github.com/mdgrs-mei/Av... It's using the same mechanism as WinUIShell and takes care of all threading and non-blocking UI operations. #PowerShell

You should come work with me.

Do you help coworkers remotely, asking them to run terminal commands? Or maybe you just want to save the output of your own commands for later? Here's a few ways to do that. blog.danskingdom.com/Easily-captu...

I have wrapped my VsDevShell PowerShell module into an agent skill, such that AI agents can automatically enter a Visual Studio developer shell on-demand for tools like "msbuild" or "signtool": skills.sh/awakecoding/...

Your PowerShell is probably full of stale Az modules. I just fixed that. You can now uninstall and clean up all Az modules in one go! Plus there’s a new Uninstall-All cmdlet that removes a stack of Microsoft modules safely. Stop fighting version conflicts 🤩 Get it 👉 uninstall-graph.meri...

At work we need to publish a PowerShell module but didn't want to deal with PSGallery tokens and more permissions we need to audit over time. I've tried out GitHub Container/OCI and Nuget feeds as well as Azure Artifacts. github.com/jborean93/Po... TLDR: Use Azure Artifacts.

If you manage #Kubernetes using kubectl, you should definitely use kubecolor. I wrote a quick blog showing how to get it installed and set up in 30 seconds. blog.danskingdom.com/Colour-your-...

Its not the most awesome thing to think about but it will take only a moment to do and may save your loved ones some pain. In GitHub under Account settings, you can set your successor who will be able to access your account if you are not able to github.com/settings/admin

🎭⚡ Playwright tests… but in the cloud. No infra. No setup drama. Just hit run and watch your UI + API tests fly on cloud‑hosted browsers. Spin up a workspace, plug in your project, hit go in #VisualStudio or #VSCode, and boom—cloud‑powered testing. 👉 buff.ly/GYY9fDK

A nice reinforcement that AI tools are an accelerator and the quality of the code they generate depends on the person using them. The human in the loop still very much matters. Competent engineers can use AI tools to move faster without generating slop.

I appreciate that MS #Teams shows how many people have already joined the meeting before I join. It allows me to avoid joining when there's only 1 other person and having to make small talk until others join on days when I'm not feeling chatty.

It takes very little effort to incorporate the pwshSpectreConsole module into your #PowerShell daily routine.

After procrastinating for 2 years, my blog finally supports dark mode. GitHub Copilot was a big help. I also cut the ads waaaaaaay down. Now I can focus on creating content again. blog.danskingdom.com
