100% this. Blaming the tools for bad boundaries is a stretch.

If you've wanted to move to #IaC, to use #Terraform and #Ansible, and maybe not quite sure which to use when, why not both? Moving from traditional server management to #IaC can be a bit overwhelming, but using the tool that the tool is best at makes the jump easier! 🔗 bit.ly/4eJt7Ef #DevOps

Your terminal prompt can show your branch, unpushed commits, and command duration automatically. No git status needed. Mine runs on Starship (starship.rs). Find my new Youtube short about it on my channel: www.youtube.com/@Ba4bes What does your prompt look like? Share a screenshot! #devtools #git

I'm slowly transitioning from Oh-My-Posh to Starship, but regardless of which I'm using I tend to end up using a Kali Linux style prompt (regardless of never actually having used Kali). Very much a sucker for emoji substitution for my common directories.

* I _think_ I can support as far back as Pwsh 7.0, but leaning towards making 7.4 the line in the sand. * Easier branding without having to mess with shortcuts like in v1. Early days yet. Likely to need to do preview releases so keep an eye out for them.

Josh King @toastit.dev · 17/11/2025

I sat down to work on #BurntToast this afternoon and it very quickly spiralled into working on a v2 release. At the moment this is looking like: * Moving to binary (i.e. compiled C#) module. * Dropping support for Windows #PowerShell.

That is a whole different price bracket from the Portal though. Part of the calculus for me when I was weighing things up was that I couldn't guarantee that the kids wouldn't be on the Xbox when I was trying to play from wherever I was at.

Josh King @toastit.dev · 13/10/2025

This is just commentary on remote gaming in general, not the Portal or PS Remote Play as I'm not in that ecosystem. I personally ended up getting a Steam Deck and play games locally on that as then I know I can use it anywhere (including long plan trips with no WiFi).

Josh King @toastit.dev · 13/10/2025

Your experience is going to be largely dictated by your internet connections (at home and wherever you're at). I wouldn't count on hotel WiFi being all that great for it. The type of games being played can have an impact too. e.g. you're probably not going to want to be playing anything competitive
