I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Or, and here me out here, have you looked at @tailscale.com. Then you can use the manual setup for the Google assistant. As somebody else mentioned, it is a slippery slope of fun adventures 😁

I use PiHole for Ad-blocking at home, and yes, sometimes that causes some issues if it blocks Microsoft (Or other) management addresses. In this blog post, I will show how you can live-track blocked DNS queries 🙂 #PowerShell #DNS #PiHole powershellisfun.com/2025/02/14/r...

📰 OIB 3.4 News! I'm busy finalising changes/updates to v3.4 of the #OpenIntuneBaseline. Some forewarning of a "breaking change" in that all policies have been renamed to show where they actually exist (ES - Endpoint Security, SC - Settings Catalog). I still don't like it :(

I can't believe they're going to roll out 2025 to Production late at night, right before a public holiday, without testing it in Staging, and without fixing all the bugs in 2024.

M365maps was a labour of love by Aaron Dinnage for which i shall be forever grateful but it hasn't been updated in over a year. I'm guessing his new job in #Microsoft is keeping him busy.😁 Hat tip to @chanceofsecurity.com for the link to m365insights.org by Matthew Wolf who has taken up the mantle.

I ❤️ Shannon airport. I was in the duty-free, an American guy came up to one of the employees with a box full of small bottles of Irish whiskey & asked him if he would be able to fly with that…the employee responded “if you want to fly, you’ll need a larger bottle than that.” and he winked at me. 👏👏👏
