I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

I had to change by standard release pipeline for this very reason. Also created scripts to unlist packages en masses.

Pester 6: assert on speed. { Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 100 } | Should-BeFasterThan 1s. Time literals like 1s and 50ms just work, and Should-BeSlowerThan is the opposite. #pspester #powershell

This session from #PSConfEU is, by far, my favorite one ever done... Learnt a lot, laughed a lot, and... Got a full 5.0 score on the feedback form. I may have peaked now 😁

Every day I am increasingly convinced that we need UBI immediately. While they are in office, lawmakers should be required to live - actually live, not pretend that it's a home - in the average housing in their district that their family can purchase on UBI.

BUT! The underlying behavior IS still interesting. "Dangling templates" happen when you delete a cert template without disabling it first, and they can lead to unexpected template enablement. New blog explains the whole thing: jakehildreth.github.io/blog/2026/01...

Y'all, I submitted something to MSRC thinking I found a new ESC. I was SO hyped. 🤩 Reader, I had not found a new ESC. Turns out I conflated some PKI role definitions and misunderstood security boundaries. I'm supposedly an "expert" in this stuff. 🤦

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I channeled my anger, frustration, and sadness about the state murders of #reneegood and #alexpretti this weekend and started working on Project Witness. There are so many videos recorded by protestors, legal observers, released bodycam footage. But it's difficult to get them all together.
