Eccentric horse, warped sense of humor. Older than you think, and older than I wish. Sometimes #NSFWish. #MementoMori #Pagan #Shaman. Retired, moved north to MN/WI.

PowerShell has built-in support for compressing files, but it only supports ZIP files. The PSCompression module supports a lot more with more options, in this blog post I will show you how it works. #PowerShell #Compression powershellisfun.com/2026/10/09/u...

Brilliant video from Kansas Governor Laura Kelly talking about her "constituent" Zach Lahn, the Republican running for governor of IOWA who actually lives in Kansas. One of the most brutal political owns I've ever seen. Kudos to all involved.
