Why is networking so god damn difficult to make *simple* for people! GAH

Yes

Yes. I know the image has a count bug. It’s fixed. Promise. 🤣

I will say I only develop this using Hyper-v locally. AutomatedLab supports Azure though!

I have plans for an Azure-specific version that will spin up/down in your azure subscription. But that will be quite a ways off unless I get some help!

There is a new version of AutomatedLab UI coming. I’m just putting some final touches on this. I’m excited about this release. With it, I feel this will be a truly useful tool!

#PowerShell Universal has made this so simple to put together!

Do it. You have something valuable to add. Need help with a submission? My DMs are open.

Yeah I was just about to come back and say it *uses* SkiaSharp but I think you are looking for an actual wrapper around the whole library.

Yeah it’s PSWordCloud. I work with the author. 😁

I built a wen based front end for AutomatedLab in #PowerShell Universal.

It has been fun.

Can we please, for all that is right and holy, just eliminate daylight savings time already? We invented our own daylight for when the sun goes to sleep. We don't need it now!

I made a couple of fixes early this morning, but my new toy, a #PowerShell Universal-based front end for AutomatedLab, is now on GitHub.

Please try it out if you use AutomatedLab!

There *are* warts, but I'm working on 'em. Feedback appreciated and welcome!

Just one? I'd have a stream!

I've sorted out how to ship a #PowerShell Universal app as a module, which allowed me to put the app on a secondary test instance, and it *just friggin works*

Tons of docs so people don't stub their toes. By the end of the weekend, y'all can play too!

If all you needed was a small agent to keep applications up to date on your work from home devices, would you do it?

@adamdriscoll.bsky.social I'm ready for folks to kick the tires on this AutomatedLab thing. But.....How do I share it? Just throw the .universal folder in a git repo? I'm gonna want to write some docs, etc.

“Sorry”

That’s my argument for stuff frequently too. “If they can do x, you’re already compromised to the point doing y doesn’t matter.

I’m not quite there yet! But I’m only a couple days away from it! Have a few annoyances to work out before I let others kick the tires. 🙂
