#powershell
Wow, just stumbled across #nushell while dabbling around in the federated timeline.
This is a really cool looking #shell. I'm thinking I can finally stop being a #PowerShell fanboi (gotta say it's getting a tad embarrassing).
Though I've used #bash, #zsh and #pwsh quite a bit there is a little bit of a learning curve, so I'm stil mucking around and kicking the tyres. But have a look at these error messages. Look at them!
Favorite #PowerShell module to help you create your own module? Curious what is everyone favorite these days!
Do you have a preference for any of these very verbose #PowerShell views for errors?
I've made the window just a little narrow to see how the line-wrapping affects it, and I'm not totally happy with any of them.
Why can't there be just a "git" installer for windows without the extra crap? Like, nowadays #powershell rocks, so no need for Git Bash. Most (if not all) IDEs and editors include git GUIs, and there are tools like Sourcetree or GH Desktop.
Why do they keep shipping that crap together? So I have to delete the registry entries to remove Git Bash from context menus, and delete the Start Menu icons?
I managed to get Robot Framework to complete a relatively complex #web #automation #Selenium task inside a #Docker container.
I'm relatively confident that the next integration test I use for my personal website will use Robot Framework. It currently uses #PowerShell #Pester tests, but it's hard to beat the readability of Robot Framework.

@JenMsft, I have #Windows11, dual external monitors, and the latest #Powershell (7.x). Powershell shortcut is on the task bar. Often, when I right click the task bar shortcut and try to run it as another user, it fails. Busy cursor, task bar flashes away and back, and no console

Other than going back to #archlinux I've basically poured a lot of time learning #powershell. I can say hands-down PowerShell is one of the most underrated scripting languages. The sheer simplicity once you learn its syntax and flow of things makes it a very versatile tool especially for cross-platform.
To think I could simply start threads so easily to do things with start-threadjob and other things in parallel left me in awed.
I've spent all morning being distracted by shiny #PowerShell things. This now means I have more to write about, assuming I can finish what I was originally going to write about.

Ich suche (#FediHire) eine/n Mid-Level #Developer, der/die verschiedenste Aufgabenstellungen und Sprachen anfassen kann. Es gibt kleine Scripting- und Software-Projekte in #pyhton, #powershell, #bash, #php, #sql, #javascript, usw. Darüber hinaus brauchen wir häufig API-Connectoren zu Netzwerk- und Security-Produkten, die meist mit #xml (z.B. für SIEM-Themen) und #json (z.B. für Automatisierungen) als Austauschformat nutzen. Fokus-Hersteller sind #ExtremeNetworks und #Fortinet. Interne Tools gibt es u.a. mit #Excel #Macros (#vba / #dotNET). Also wirklich vielfältige größere und kleine Projekte...
Meine Kollegin/Mein Kollege sollte also strukturiert und mit Planung an Projekte herangehen können, anstatt, wie aktuell die Projekte laufen "jede/r, der/die ein bisschen Scripten kann, schreibt irgendwie irgendwas, was niemand anderes mehr brauchbar nutzen kann".

Kinda excited that fzf (FuzzyFinder) works like a champ on #windows #powershell with PSFzf: https://github.com/kelleyma49/PSFzf
Being able to find any file anywhere with Ctrl-T or change to any directory with Alt+C.
As a command line jockey forever it's a *huge* productivity boost.
@ligniform because of that, it's actually the more cross-platform option too, which is amusing 😜
I mean, to successfully call native apps from #PowerShell you sometimes need to use `Convert-Path` -- but in general, using / in paths is much less likely to cause problems running on Windows than using \ on Linux 😒
I finally got frustrated enough to want to fix #PowerShell DetailedView for #error so the output is colored for readability, like Get-Error.
To my surprise (and a little frustration), it turns out this view actually just calls Get-Error and deliberately strips the color.
There are side effects, but you CAN avoid this by setting:
$ErrorView = "DetailedView"
$PSStyle.OutputRendering = "Ansi"
I'll have to get in a PR to stop stripping over the weekend.
If you need no color, use $ENV:NO_COLOR
So after saying I'd never write any more books - I got asked to write a chapter on #PowerShell for a Windows 11 book. Chapter submitted - now I await the hell that will be getting!
there are still some software who haven't changed their paradigms as of today; #Ansible is one; #powershell is no longer just a windows technology. We need to see more scripts for other platforms written in it. I intend to eventually practice what I preach. Generically, though, right now, until Ansible changes their stance. I might bug Jordan about that.
Switching to the new cross-platform powershell & I'm seeing these gossamer predictions for what I'm likely to type next. Very cool! But I have no idea how to take advantage of them--hitting tab just does normal command-or-file-in-current-directory completion. Can anybody enlighten me? #Powershell
First thing I do nowadays when I get access to a SQL Server. Add my SQL instances to Registered Servers then:

Here's why you have to be careful who you listen to about #AI and #ChatGPT. The so-called experts are crazy.
People are repeating a so-called "ChatGPT Hack" that suggests you ask for a "confidence score" at the end of each question.
ChatGPT is a large language model. It doesn't actually understand what you're saying. It doesn't know what a confidence score is.
It just knows what words would probably come after an answer to that prompt:
Confidence: 9/10
![An example ChatGPT prompt and incorrect answer:
ChatGPT PROMPT:
Please convert the following C# to PowerShell:
public static string GetRenderedScript(Token[] tokens)
{
var sb = new StringBuilder();
int lastEndOffset = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < tokens.Length; i++)
{
sb.Append(
Symbols.Space,
tokens[i].Extent.StartOffset - lastEndOffset);
}
sb.Append(Ansi.Colors.Reset);
return sb.ToString();
}
At the end of your answer, rate your confidence in the answer using following the format where x is the confidence score of your output by 10:
Confidence: x/10
ChatGPT RESPONSE:
Certainly! Here's the PowerShell equivalent of the given C# code:
function GetRenderedScript([Token[]]$tokens) {
$sb = New-Object System.Text.StringBuilder
$lastEndOffset = 0
for ($i = 0; $i -lt $tokens.Length; $i++) {
$sb.Append([string]::Copy(' ', $tokens[$i].Extent.StartOffset - $lastEndOffset))
}
$sb.Append($Ansi.Colors.Reset)
return $sb.ToString()
}
$tokens = @() # Replace with the actual tokens
GetRenderedScript -tokens $tokens

Logging into #Office365 to check on my coworkers #MFA settings in #Microsoft. So I head to the panel, there are some rudimentary sorts, for Enabled, and Enforced, and All. But what about for Disabled? Nope. So that means I have to slum it with #PowerShell. God, I hate PowerShell with every fiber of my being, and connecting to Office 365 is like playing blindfolded darts. So, fine, lets try #Connect-MsolService, which will fail horribly. This will eat the rest of the day. #today #infotech

Hey Everyone!
I am Rich 👋, I work as a #SQLServer Developer and Accidental #DBA , I write #csharp code and #powershell
I volunteer on the railway in my spare time as a Footplate Fireman & Social Media Manager.
I also help maintain Actual Budget #OSS , have a passion for loud music and #photography and recently started learning about Video Editing.
Let's settle this once and for all.

The Windows #shortcut pointed to a #PowerShell command. Obviously, because that's totally normal, right? 🙄
But the shortcut had been modified so that the Target field in its Properties sheet appeared blank.
Apparently there's a little bug in Windows. Microsoft already knows about it, because it was revealed in a blog post by researcher @x86matthew@twitter.com a year ago. If you mess around with a shortcut and prepend a big chunk of "space" characters, the Target field still works but the command will be hidden from the end user.
https://www.x86matthew.com/view_post?id=embed_exe_lnk
The threat actor used this exact technique.
The command executed by the Windows shortcut is a PowerShell "Invoke-WebRequest" download of a VBS.

I have released a PowerShell module called 'DynamicTitle'. With the module, you can make your console titles pretty.
https://github.com/mdgrs-mei/DynamicTitle
In the GitHub project page, there is a clip showing some examples, such as Status bar, Git status and Command execution time. It's all non-blocking and live-updating.
It's amazing if people enjoy the customization using this module.
Upgrading #PowerShell, expect literally everything to break 😌
Running in circles and falling into rabbit holes trying to find examples.
Or, less explicitly, popping up the system browser to do some user interaction and get some value back.
#OAuth2 #powershell
What #PowerShell version are you on?
It seems to be safe to modify WindowTitle from a background thread. Unlike the prompt string, it can be updated in real time without blocking or being blocked by the main thread. It's a fun area to customize😉
@malwaretech when I asked #chatgpt for the best #darkstar the #GratefulDead ever played, it offered a show that the Dead ever played! It also knows just enough #powershell to be quite dangerous.
Testing a text area that stays on the top right corner of the console. It's almost working but the cursor irregularly blinks. Hmm.. it's close..
#powershell has no #list #chunk function yet. It may arrive with version 7. A bit of an oversight for a batch scripting language, but also a good opportunity to do some #FOSS.
Today we'll figure out how to create a shell script, maybe using #powershell , to download known orders from #Amazon #SPAPI.
It looks like their #getOrders endpoint accepts up to 10 order numbers at a time. We have just a tad bit more than that.
We'll be using an #awslambda function we wrote in #python, that uses an #AWSStepFunction to call another lambda function to retrieve order items, and store the result in #awss3. Yay, systems integration!
