I just published a quick video to explain the new security prompt added to Invoke-WebRequest in Windows PowerShell 5.1 and show how to prevent it from affecting any of your automations.
🚨 Breaking change in Invoke-WebRequest that could impact your automations.
I wrote a helper script to find where Invoke-WebRequest is and isn't using -UseBasicParsing. It also works for any other cmdlets/parameters combo.

New Video! Saving Christmas with PowerShell
It may look like a Secret Santa script…
but it’s actually a lesson in matching algorithm with constraints and fairness, all wrapped in tinsel.
Great for Secret Santa & real-world tasks.
#AskFedi, Is there a way I can send messages through #DeltaChat from a script, so that I could use it for sending myself notifications (e.g., reminders) from a separate Delta account?
/cc #CLI, #commandline, #scripting, @delta
After a few years of using event-driven #terminal workflows, I decided to make a #video covering tools and techniques that work for me. Hope someone finds it useful.
4 categories covered:
- Command polling: viddy, watch
- File watching: entr, watchexec, inotifywait
- Desktop notifications: dunstify, notify-send
- Process signals: trap, pkill, USR1/USR2
📽️ Ah, the riveting saga of *detecting* video codecs with #Python... because why upgrade your iPhone when you can waste hours #scripting instead? 😂 Just imagine the thrill of running #pytest on your media library while the rest of us simply watch videos. 🎞️

I'm looking for some nerdy/niche assistance. I want to start printing my own weekly agendas based on the current state of my online calendar. Sure it will change, but I would love to be able to sit down on a Sunday evening and review with paper & pencil to settle into the coming work week.
Ideally something that is a modifiable script that I can output to text format, or template into a file with jinga2 or something similar.

Multiline text in PowerShell driving you mad?
Here-Strings are your escape hatch.
No escaping quotes, no backslash mayhem! Just clean, readable text.
Watch the new #PoshBytes short: Mastering Here-Strings in PowerShell
💡 TIP: On a Linux system using bash, you can compare text strings without worrying about upper or lowercase by using the ,, (lowercase) or ^^ (uppercase) parameter expansion modifiers e.g.
EDITION=CommUNITY
if [[ ${EDITION,,} = community ]]; then
echo "Community"
fi
${EDITION,,} converts the value to lowercase.

Awesome😁. That's how u improve scripting and have no fear of changing the system state globally.
Idk if I have sent this to you earlier, but anyway sharing this here, this is a perfect start for beginners for leveling up nix shell skills(blog type creation in PPT form):

If you can’t handle me at my Invoke-RestMethod, then you don’t deserve me at my curl.
Is there any framework to create shell scriprs?
I'm getting the nerves with so much shell-foo.
