Day 2 of December🎄, Did you know that to permanently remove a Microsoft 365 Group from your tenant that you have to wait 90 days or use #powershell for each group? I created a function that removes all 365 Groups in the recycle bin https://github.com/DevClate/365AutomatedLab/blob/main/Functions/Public/Remove-CT365AllDeletedM365Groups.ps1

Not sure why, but I had to reinstall my node modules for a project after updating #powershell and my #11ty project wouldnt load.

My serve command used 'eleventy -serve' and couldnt find eleventy anymore. After a fresh reinstall of packages things started working again. I guess I should move to the npx '@11ty/eleventy --serve' instead as it is only locally installed.

Parse your #PowerShell history to find ALL the commands 😉

https://gist.github.com/Jaykul/dd1c341da90e47396f6f523031000221

using namespace Microsoft.PowerShell
using namespace System.Management.Automation.Language

foreach ($history in [PSConsoleReadLine]::GetHistoryItems()) {
$null = [Parser]::ParseInput($history.CommandLine, [ref]$Tokens, [ref]$null)
$Tokens.Where{ $_.TokenFlags -eq "CommandName" }.Text
}

I use Convert* as well as Where and Write commands.
I also have cmd, conda, dotnet, wsl, and flux in my recent top 100

One of my favorite issues I've opened in #Github is this: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/3028

Why? It's an example of how a big company (in this case Microsoft) has trouble with the simplest of things.

Clearly running a #Powershell script without showing a console window should be possible, but instead, it's being waffled, year after year how to implement it in the PowerShell itself.

I still can't find a way to do that without Visual Basic scripts or another binary in Windows 11.

@develwithoutacause @jborean Honestly, Set-Variable is exactly what people mean when they say #PowerShell is ridiculously verbose.

The problem is that set (Set-Variable) sets a _PowerShell_ variable, not an environment variable...

Doug Parker 🕸️

Just lost 10 minutes trying to set an environment variables in #Windows and being confused why `set FOO=bar` just silently does nothing.

Turns out, #VisualStudio embedded terminal uses #PowerShell by default which has a completely syntax for defining environment variables.

I felt like I was taking crazy pills. Why does `set` silently do nothing when called from the wrong shell?

The GitHub "actions/runner-images" project has been insisting they are just sticking with "LTS" #PowerShell for a year now.

PowerShell 7.4 GA is out and is the new LTS release.

https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/8847

Since 7.2 doesn't expire until November, my bet is they not do anything for several months, at least.

Anyone betting against me?

P.S. I'm using #earthly in my builds, so I can build and test with the versions of #PowerShell I want to support.

When you have #PowerShell friends in different time zones and you can never remember what time it is there, so you put a nice one-liner in your profile, so you can quickly see what time it is there.. I could even make an alias for it too and call it anytime
$melbTime = (Get-Date).ToUniversalTime().Add([TimeZoneInfo]::FindSystemTimeZoneById('AUS Eastern Standard Time').GetUtcOffset((Get-Date))); "It is currently $($melbTime.ToString('dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy hh:mm tt')) in Melbourne, Australia"

$Speech = New-Object System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer
$Text = Get-Content -Path "war-and-peace.txt" -Raw
$Speech.SetOutputToWaveFile("output.wav")

```

@Bluedepth
If you're going to use a LLM to help you write #PowerShell, I highly suggest you switch to #BingChat, which (being a #Microsoft product) has been trained far more extensively on Microsoft languages like PowerShell and C# than #Bard has, and is thus (in my experience) far more effective at providing the correct syntax the first time.

Bluedepth
2 months ago

Even with #Bard’s help, #PowerShell is a hot nasty pile of shit. But then, PowerShell has always been a hot nasty pile of shit. I’m not even surprised. So, PowerShell 5 on my stupid Windows 10 VM doesn’t understand “$StartDate = Get-Date.AddDays(-7)” but it does understand “$StartDate = [DateTime]::Now.AddDays(-7)”. Yeah, fine, whatever. Syntax whore. I fully understand this is a immense waste of time and will not work properly, no matter how hard I try. #GremlinOrgy

Joel Bennett

@def you should never write a boolean parameter in #PowerShell. Never.

Use [switch]

P.S. Corollary: command-line tools should never have boolean parameters. It defies norms and expectations, and confuses users.

Use switches.

If I designed it, I think [bool] would behave the same as [switch] 😞

The third and fourth installments of my #DataDojo #PowerBI #CommunityOfPractice blog series (link in my bio) are almost ready, and I typically create a #PR for each post and #merge them separately, so those should rack up two more points before the end of the month.*

* Yes, approving one's own PR on one's own #repo does apparently count, as do blog posts and documentation. Each PR just has to pass the "not spammy" test, and it must contain a fair amount of new material and/or changes to existing material. A little vague perhaps, but that's just the impression I got from reading the rules the other day, and I'm very loosely paraphrasing, so YMMV, grain of salt, yadda yadda.

@yosh #PowerShell isn't text-based. Of course, you can pipe text, but objects too. It was this and the scriptability that drew me to "Monad", it's early codename. Rather than modifying scripts for slight variations when needed, I wrote cmdlets with boundless composability. Written in #csharp.

#nushell appears to do much the same. Written in #rustlang.

I decided to write down how I’m doing my AI upscaling, in case there’s anyone who might consider doing the same thing.

#PowerShell is much easier to understand if you break the code into smaller chunks and run it directly in PowerShell *as a shell* (rather than running `powershell.exe -Command …`, which requires lots of escape characters, so it gets very messy).

Example:

```PowerShell
# Declare drive letter to be ejected
$driveLetter = "E:\"
# Initialize a new shell application com object
$driveEject = New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application
# Use the shell application com object to eject the drive
$driveEject.Namespace(17).ParseName("$driveLetter").InvokeVerb("Eject")
```

@JamesDBartlett3 Luv it! I think piping is the ididomatic way to code in #powershell. Also I've heard it comes with a performance penalty.
But honestly: I've never done something in powershell that was actually performance critical

James Bartlett :terminal:

One of my #PowerShell hacks for #PowerBI just got a huge #upgrade: #Pipeline support!

In layman's terms, this means that one #function can be strung together with another function in a single PowerShell command, and the outputs from the first function feed directly into the second's inputs. The best part is that the whole chain of functions can operate as a #stream, so as soon as the first item is available, it gets passed down to the next function in the chain, which begins processing that item, while the previous function is working on the next item in the queue. It's like an #AssemblyLine for data!

Of course, now I'll have to go back and apply this technique to all of the other functions I've written previously. #NoRestForTheWicked 😈

@adam Sweetn - it would be really wonderful to see the #PowerShell 7 commands to set this up for, say, Contoso.Com

Oh wow, so Powershell has these cmdlets (commandlets) that convert output to different formats, like a list or HTML, or even a GUI grid rather than a text table that's hard to listen to with a screen reader. You can even do a CSV and import to Excel or something.

Format as list:

Get-Process -Name lsass | Format-List

GUI Grid:

Get-Process -Name lsass | Out-GridView

I've been working on #PowerBits (a collection of #PowerShell scripts for #PowerBI 📊 #Admins) recently, and I just made a minor breakthrough. 💪😎👍

One of the biggest missing features of the Power BI #RESTAPIs right now is the ability to export a #Dataset as a #PBIX file. Of course, you can export a #Report as a PBIX file, and if that Report is bound to a Dataset, then the Dataset will be included with the Report when you export it. However, if the Dataset you need to export doesn't have a Report bound to it (I've started calling this a #BareDataset), then the #RESTAPI can't help you. That Dataset can only be exported manually from the Power BI Service using a web browser. Yuck! 🤮

To solve this problem:
1. Find and select a target #BareDataset
2. Upload a #BlankReport to the same #Workspace
3. Re-bind the blank Report to the bare Dataset
4. Export the blank Report as a PBIX file
5. Delete the blank Report from the Workspace

Step 1 Complete (mostly) 😅:

Today I made the lights behind my monitor turn brighter automatically, when an app on my PC is accessing the webcam.

Windows shows you in the settings app which app is currently accessing your webcam, and it turns out you can read those values from the registry.

Using Sysmon I can watch for changes in the registry that indicate that an app's started / stopped accessing my webcam and fire Events into the Windows eventlog, and then I attached a Task to those events that forwards the new registry key to #HomeAssistant through a webhook.

Depending on the value sent, HomeAssistant can then turn my lights bright to act as a key light, or reactivate the adaptive lighting that continuously adjusts the light's color based on the time of day :3

(re) #Introduction due to a server migration...

Hi, i'm Kyle. Long-time systems engineer (IT) turned technical marketer with a passion for automation, problems of scale, and sharing knowledge. I'm a blogger, presenter, mentor, mentee, and I recently found myself on the management side of things. Professionally, I've been recognized through advocacy programs like #Microsoft MVP, #VMware vExpert, #Cisco Champion, (Dell) EMC Elect, etc.

Former road warrior, while having greatly enjoyed traveling the world, I'm finding satisfaction in watching those loyalty statuses drop each year. My camera roll was more receipts than anything else for quite a while. Current #FloridaMan, I swear it wasn't like this when we moved here, but I enjoy a relaxing beach and grew allergic to snow and cold weather.

My feed is likely to include #tech, #startup, #cloud, #devops, #terraform, #powershell, with the occasional #beer, #nfl, #mlb, #f1, #dog, #cat, #travel, #Purdue, mention.

I have quite a lot more followers than I did when I first wrote my introduction, so it’s only fair that I’m writing a new one, bump up the major version.

#introduction #intro #introductions

Hi! o/

I am Ștefan (ș as sh, I also accept Stephan or the equivalent in your language). I’m 21 years old, ♑, he/him, proud #leftist and soon to graduate CS @ UVABc. Sort of proudly living in #romania. My native language is Romanian, fairly proficient at English, slowly learning #finnish (and #italian).

Tried a lot of programming languages in my childhood up until now, a non-chronological list of ones that stuck with me for one reason or another being: VB6 (that’s what I started on at 8 years old), #pascal (+ #freepascal and #delphi), #perl (+ #raku), #tcl #tcltk, #lisp (usually #scheme, on a good day #elisp #emacslisp and #commonlisp), #elixir, #php, #forth, #lua, #oberon, #modula-2, #cpp #c++, #ocaml, #fsharp, #smalltalk (+ #squeak #pharo #self), #ada, #powershell, #dart, #matlab, #rlang, #zig, #nim, #cobol and #julia. I don’t claim full proficiency in all of these, but I’m familiar enough with these (+ some others not mentioned here) that I could get along just fine with 2 weeks at most of studying and looking through cookbooks and examples). I’m flexible in learning new languages and technologies if needed.

I also do #sudoku and #math for fun (especially functional equations and number theory problems, sometimes calculus and geometric algebra). I am interested in #linguists, #conlangs (#lojban and #esperanto) and #nlp, contemporary (post-‘45, usually post-‘89 for me) history, #balkan history, lower-level stuff (I like to learn about how tools around me work, I’m most interested in #compilers, #emulators and #microcontrollers), #typography and #latex, #linux + #bsd, #msdos, #amiga, #oberon, #plan9, #philosophy, #astronomy (especially in a worldbuilding context) and #philosophy, along with other less notable interests.

I engage in #politics relatively often irl, although I’m not inserting it in absolutely every scenario in my life. As I mentioned, I’m a #leftist and #progressive (or… um… #woke) (Nazis and fascists can have a merry fuck off, DNI with me). I am also a spiritual person, a #deist (if you really want to put it that way, an agnostic, although it’s not quite true) and I find #astrology and #tarot interesting (I’ll let you guess my moon and ascendant, let’s see how close you are).

With that being said, I hope I’m welcome here, you can pick your subset of things that interest you from this list, you have plenty of options. :P Quite a bit longer than last time, but oh well…

Hallo, ich bin niems und nicht mehr ganz #neuhier. Beruflich mach' ich was mit #IT und #Windows-#Systemadministration, privat bin ich eher mit #Linux unterwegs. Ich bin ein großer Freund von #Selfhosting und betreibe unter anderem eine #nextcloud, einen #jabber-Server und diese Mastodon-Instanz.

Auf der #birdsite war ich als @niemalsnever bekannt und bin hier seit einigen Monaten im #twexil.

Durch meinen Job interessiere ich mich für #ConfigMgr, #PowerShell und ähnliche Themen.
