My wife is playing it now and loving it!
Very limited in functionality, but something like this? Only handles a single client connection on a static port. It's a work in progress.

@enclosehorse.bsky.social is one of my favorite parts of my day.
Your repost might be the reason someone finally registers. 👥
Not everyone follows @powershellsummit.org, But they follow you! 🫵
If you've been to #PSHSUMMIT before and you know what it does to your year — share this. That's the whole ask. ⚡️

Maybe there's something to spark an idea here? Obviously not a slam dunk.
docs.winget.run/docs/package...
![$packageName = "Microsoft.VisualStudioCode"
$url = (winget show $packageName | Select-String 'Installer URL:\s*(http\S+)').Matches.Groups[1].Value
$tmpExe = "$env:TEMP\winget_temp.exe"
$iconOut = "$env:TEMP\$packageName.png"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile $tmpExe -Headers @{ "Range" = "bytes=0-3145728" }
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Drawing

Hm, that's an interesting one. For non-ms-store apps I don't know of a way that doesn't involve actually downloading at least a little bit the installer executable. Which I'm certain is a no-go at that scale.
But I'm far from the most knowledgeable person on this.
Cool, haha.
Last I checked, I'm a person!
And many thanks!
I've never once been accused of such a thing, but thanks 😉

I in no way used this as an excuse to at least publish something on pckt...lol.
I really like it and want to use it, but am quite happy with my blog set up hosted on GitHub Pages. Maybe this will be reserved for other IT-related ramblings. We'll see.
My first post on @pckt.blog musing about plain text power moves and how helpful they are in my daily work life.
Love Badminton! Great way to keep active.
I guess you never know what you'll be doing.
Unless you're that person, because it'll be the same for years more to come.
At a previous org I had to write a script that did an SFTP grab of some CSV files, build PDFs based on them, and shuffle them off to some shared drive internally somewhere. Because someone couldn't be bothered to change their workflow of 20+ years...
You can customize your prompt in PowerShell to accomplish this, in a variety of ways. Here's just one example:
gist.github.com/griffeth-bar...
I previously lived in Missouri, US and I do not miss tornados or siren tests one bit.
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.

Talk #3 for #PSHSummit26: "Markdown Madness: Static Sites for Fun & Profit"
You write #Markdown already. What if it became a blog? A resume? A full docs site?
Jekyll, MkDocs, Hugo, Docusaurus, jsonresume -we're going on a tour! Sprinkle in some #PowerShell. Bring snacks. cloud.umami.is/q/18X...

Crucially, this is a far cry from a polished or feature-rich application. Just a burgeoning idea with some future plans/ideas. But I've been trying to get better at putting this up quickly and not waiting forever for them to be "good enough" (i.e., never, in my mind).
So many orgs are sitting in a hybrid state between their on-prem and cloud Microsoft infrastructure. But where to manage the objects? Some are here, some are there. This little idea will hopefully grow into something that can be helpful to folks in that situation.

If you don’t already know, there is a ‘Learning PowerShell’ section on Microsoft Learn. It’s truly a great start (or continuation) of your PowerShell journey. In this blog post, I will highlight the different chapters.

Always like a peek into things in which I'm not extensively experienced.
Ah well that changes everything, doesn't it? That takes me a bit out of my depth.
Is domain specified by FQDN not NetBIOS name?
If specifying a target SPN, does it include the desired realm?
Unfortunately I won't be much help past here. But still curious to hear when you get it worked out.
Yes, "Define host name-to-Kerberos realm mappings", it's under the same Kerberos set of policies: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/window...
"This policy setting configures the Kerberos client's mapping to KDC proxy servers for domains based on their DNS suffix names. If you enable this policy setting, the Kerberos client will use the KDC proxy server for a domain when a domain controller cannot be located based on configured mappings."
