Thanks. I haven't used nix myself so I'm not sure... If you have the powershell nix package installed you should be able to use Install-Module like in any other environment.

I like spectre.console and wanted to be able to use it in powershell scripts so I built this module.

I’ve used this: dig @1.1.1.1 ch txt whoami.cloudflare +short

Astro is awesome. It’s easy enough to get started with a template for a static site and flexible enough to build dynamic web apps. My static personal site is Astro hosted on cloudf…

Thanks

I had some fun learning to parse PowerShell code with the built-in abstract syntax tree for this one. I originally wrote it to add some color to the output in PowerShellAI.

I built it into the existing PowerShellAI module because I was learning as I went and I was already using it. The module already has quite a bit of adoption too so I figure it’s a …

I’ve been having fun generating code via LLMs but getting frustrated with the common pitfalls (hallucinated functions, parameters, mixed up language constructs etc.). I use PowerSh…

I’ve lurked for years and have decided to start writing stuff down in public https://shaunlawrie.com/ Hand written HTML/css/js deployed via cloudflare pages

Nice. Some of that reminded me of an album by The Algorithm https://www.last.fm/music/The+Algorithm/Brute+Force:+Source+...

I've always used shell scripting of various types and tend to work to whatever is available in the operating environments I'm working in. If I'm doing stuff in Windows-land I'm goi…

“Solidly between terrifying and awesome” is a great description thanks

Haha I didn’t expect to see my name while I scrolled through HN this morning. This is my PowerShell script I added to PowerShell Gallery this weekend. I submitted it as “Show HN” a…

My whole career has been built around what you say you’re good at and I love it. I see debugging and optimising as puzzles. I started in test automation and performance engineering…

Love it when you do the “who wrote this” git blame and it was

I went through it and I’ve seen others think the same. It’s where you think you know the best way to do something so the old software is just plain wrong and “needs to be completel…

Added customizable keymappings and a vim default :p

I got a bit carried away writing an editor so I could draw some pixel art for starting my blog and ended up with some pwsh spaghetti that's quite fun to use.

Nicely presented. It’s fun but the new-user learning curve is definitely frustrating (especially because most of the documentation is super dry). I ended up with this after a while…

I’ve found it pretty handy to run a defragmentation in a guest OS before trying to shrink virtual hard drives. Not sure it affects all virtual drives but hyper-v vhdx can compact p…

One of the things I’ve done before among the other suggestions is to put a hidden link like /followmeifyouscraping.html in the landing page to get a bit of info about scraping volu…

I had fun a few years ago learning a little bit of COBOL and wish this had been around then because you never know if any of the documentation is relevant to modern-ish COBOL. Feel…
