Congratulations on getting a better shell than #bash on your #Mac

#PowerShell on #MacOS and #Linux :

So wrong it's right.

Even my crazy ex-girlfriend knows that PowerShell on Mac and Linux are so wrong that it's right.

Loving that this is catching on!

A #PowerShell #WebServer is super easy to write, right ?

Here's a fun example for you:

gist.github.com/StartAutomat...

( There is no Route Table )

Deadpool thinks that PowerShell web servers are very nice, and might be able to break the 4th wall in web development.

#TIL :

#JSON compresses into a .zip more efficiently when it has whitespace. (at least with [IO.Packaging.Package])

#PowerShell #DotNet #FYI

a yellow smiley face with a cracked face and a cloud coming out of it

Except for:

- The Object Pipeline
- The extended types system
- The flexible formatting
- The entire .NET ecosystem
- The string processing
- The regex support
- The eventing
- The ability to run any other language
- The great community
- The REST support

Clearly not too much going for it.

😉

Obama knows how over powered PowerShell is. Do you?

You got any more of that PowerShell?

Dave Chapelle thinks PowerShell is addictive.

I get that a lot.

Agatha Harkness absorbs the dark magic of PowerShell ( 🎶Down the Witches Road 🎶)

What memes do you find yourself using again and again in #DevOps ?

Every time someone asks for exceptions to build rules, our team is like:

Gandalf doesn't let just anyone use random tools with random conventions.

😂 #PowerShell Error streams are definitely Gordon Ramsey.

They've got the same attitude, and are even a pretty good color match.

Gordon Ramsey shakes his head at all of the errors your PowerShell script produced.

#Andor should be required viewing in these trying times.

Season 2 is so friggin good, even when compared to Season 1.

Cassian Andor knows the empire cannot win. Do you?

I do say 😉

Since PowerShell is a shell language, it can seamlessly run almost any other language.

It's not an either/or.

The Dude knows how overpowered PowerShell is when combined with other languages, like Python or JavaScript.

Apparently there was a Nick Cage lookalike contest this week.

www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ma...

I wonder how many of them can hold a candle to Abed in #Community

#TheKindOfStoryWeNeedRightNow

Abed's brain breaks as he tries to determine if Nick Cage is a good or a bad actor.

I just backfilled all my posts from #AtProto to #GitHub and now my memes page has a lot more memes 😃

mrpowershell.com/Memes

Any #CSS nerds want to recommend ways to make this page a little more sleek?

Got a CSS trick to share that will help render a large gallery of gifs? Please reach out.

Not exactly that...

Sometimes it's "unlimited power". Sometimes it's "behold the power of PowerShell". Sometimes it's "one shell to bind them all". Sometimes it's "go team PowerShell".

PowerShell is overpowered, and has more than a few chants.

Just added a /Memes directory to my website, which I'm building with #PowerShell and #AtProto data.

So, within half an hour of this post, this example should show up at:

mrpowershell.com/Memes

#GitHub #Pages with #PowerShell and #AtProto are #OP !

Kenneth contemplates the possibilities of PowerShell static websites built atop of AtProtocol data.

In an irony of time, apparently #Oblivion remastered gives away Horse Armor.

Why is this ironic?

Horse Armor was basically one of the first microtransactions in gaming (and an incredible waste of money).

I'll never get those 500 xbox points back.

And I'll never actually use horse armor.

Todd Howard yucks it up when talking about how many poor souls bought the first truly useless microtransaction in gaming history.

I wonder how much money they made off of selling a glorified skin for a part of the game nobody ever uses.

Congrats on getting things online again!

The cast of Futurama is happy that BlueSky is alive again ( where else will we share our memes?)

Building static websites with #PowerShell is both incredibly easy and insanely overpowered.

PowerShell for static site generation is a pretty OP Combo

Basically just name files *.*.ps1 and run them to produce html, css, JavaScript, svg, or anything else on the fly.

Sounds like they'd be painful to debug.

😅😂🤣

The Joker contemplates a PowerShell script that is also a Rube Goldberg machine.

Nothing beats a true Object Pipeline.

Emperor Palpatine wants you to use PowerShell

All fun and games until the clones start blaming each other.

Meeseeks know that sometimes you can have too much of a good thing.

This may cause unexpected side effects.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice was just trying to Copy-Broom, and look where it got them.

"The Aliens have been calling me begging to make a deal."

Even an Extra Terrestrial knows that tariffs are dumb.

And they say that there's no good news anymore 😉😎.

Even Loki wouldn't want to be on 4chan.

Sunlight truly is the best disinfectant.

Truly a novel use of @clearsky.app !

Clearsky shows how one person is systemically blocking the best of the PowerShell community.

You're not nobody, you're anyone.

The PowerShell Community should accept anyone and everyone.

The painful irony here is that I've heard Doug rant a lot about cancel culture over the years.

It's very sad and hypocritical that he is so quick to cancel.

🤷

Damn shame.

Abed knows the difference between the real world and tv.

On TV we have heroes, we have good people.

In the real world, we have MVPs who shun anyone who questions them. We have people who should be helping but instead hurt.

We have Doug.

Oi and vey.

This is not a good look, or a good headspace to be in.

Long ago I realized that kindness lifts a community, and callousness poisons it.

I wish I understood what happened to Doug.

He was a friend for a long time.

Then a switch flipped.

Still no idea why.

So sad.

Even Homelander doesn't understand why this person has started to be so mean to other people.

I used to think this was just some beef Mr Finke had with me, and cannot express how sad I am to hear the same thing from multiple people.

It's sad to see people become more toxic.

I wish he would listen to his peers, instead of dismissing us with "sparky".

Do better, indeed.

Brittney knows Toxic when they see it.

Responding to criticism with dismissiveness and anger is, well, toxic.

Can confirm 😃😉♥️😎

😂😂😂👍

Even Dwight Shroot knows that James knows too much PowerShell and is at least a little crazy.

Because #PowerShell is an amazing language that does things #Bash can barely dream of.

Because the Object Pipeline is better than parsing and praying.

Because it was made by #Linux loving nerds within Microsoft.

And, of course, because it's fun.

PowerShell is so darn fun it can even make fun animations and record them.

Can confirm the #PowerShell is case insensitive.

Except for:

* Files on #Linux and #MacOS
* #json and #xml files that are case sensitive by design
* ParameterSetNames ( beward of curveball )

Katie from Letterkenny knows that PowerShell is mostly case insensitive.

Almost all #tech stacks would make Rube Goldberg turn over in his grave.

Reply with examples if you want to help prove the point.

An overcomplicated gif for overcomplicated technology.

Meow that could be a good idea.

Super Troopers supports adding more verbs right meow.

Yep!

Now you're really getting the unlimited power of PowerShell.

It's a high level language that can go as low as you need it.

Even Palpatine knows PowerShell is overpowered.

Mainly joking here, but shame on those who use batch before PowerShell.

Shame on those who use Batch over PowerShell.

In #PowerShell, you *can* cross the streams.

No word on if it will destroy Gozar the Gozarian.

In #PowerShell, you *can* cross the streams.

I'm not entirely sure that suits heteronormative.

Ask @nphstuff.bsky.social if suits are exclusively straight.

Nothing suits Neil Patrick Harris / Barney like a suit.

They're getting their ducks in a row before they try to make them goose-step.

These are terrifying times.

Btw: they fired *all* the JAGs.

Existential dread is an Eldritch horror. So is Trumpism.

#Tesla is gonna be remembered like the #Delorean:

As a side effect of a madman with a drug problem.

The delorean was sold by an idiot with a cocaine problem.

The Tesla was sold by an idiot with a ketamine problem.

Coincidence?

I think not.

Great points!

Learn by rebuilding the wheel!

@antirez has made a bunch of explosively good points.

I think he watched Glass Onion and realized he was a moron.

And got *real* mad.

Also strongly doubt he knows enough #powershell to even Get-Help.

Pictured here: Elon Musk's psyche at the moment he realized he was an idiot.

Share what #StarTrek episode / meme best describes the #news.

Picard tells a fascist Cardassian torturer that there are four lights. The torturer gaslights Picard by saying that there are five lights.

From "Chain of Command" ( Season 6 )

Seriously asking the internets:

1. Do you know about #PowerShell?
2. If you do, what do you love / hate?

#MVPBuzz

Curiosity killed the cat.

Let's see how the Internet responds to two open ended questions.

Talked to a couple of friends of a more rightward persuasion.

The more centrist one was trying to avoid the news out of disgust / pessimism.

The more rightward one talked about not trusting the media, then pointed to a right leaning news aggregator, ironically called AllSides.

#TrappedInABubble

It seems right leaning people are acting like a cat trapped in a bubble. Unable to realize what their situation is, and unable to try to escape it.

Somehow made time for a #movie this weekend. Finally watched Glass Onion.

I recommend it to everyone, as a small dose of satisfaction and sanity.

It's on #netflix

Glass Onion makes a mockery of Elon Musk in a million amazing ways.

This is an open call for help to everyone who wants an #opengovernment.

I'm trying to archive as much public domain #government #data as I can, before it is #purged.

Looking for #powershell, #python, #git, #azure, #aws nerds to help save us from the #BonfireOfTheVanities

#2025Is1984

#PleaseHelp

If you're experienced with automation, journalism, or law, please help us save as much public domain content as we can.

Government data is published in the public domain. It's ours to save. No single person can do enough to stop this on their own.

Anyone who can help save our data from the bonfire, please help.

Anyone who can help spread the word, please do so.

Everyone should care about the government removing data from the public domain.

If you don't want 2025 to be 1984, please, help me save the data.

Looking for scripters to help automate scraping, servers to host it, web designers to make it accessible, journalists to help spread the word, and lawyers to help safeguard us from the backlash.

Please help!

They say time flies when you're having fun.

The opposite is also true.

When the world is in this stressful of a state, days can feel like weeks.

Why?

Because our brains respond to stress by paying more attention.

It's gonna be a long 4 years.

It may feel like 40.

Help everyone #cope.

It's going to be a long four years of feeling like we are all stuck in the same moment.

Help your friends and family stay as sane as they can.

Congratulations! Now to rename *all* the files ;-)

BTW, there's almost always a bonus joke in the meme's alt text.

Juggernaut may be powerful, but he has nothing on PowerShell.

Not sure how silly this is, but, in my ( biased ) opinion...

It does things no other language can, and it does then elegantly.

And, well, it's fun.

Just so much fun.

Feels so wrong it's right.

Quentin Tarantino knows that it's fun to run Microsoft open source projects on Linux, and that PowerShell is fun.

#workingfromhome is good for society.

Why?

It opens the talent pool to everyone.

It #sharesthewealth across regions.

It helps #lowerhomeprices because people don't have to cluster near work.

It helps #SaveThePlanet from transit emissions.

And you never get #stuckintraffic ever again.

If we mostly all worked from home, our planet would get significantly better.

Enjoy it!

#PowerShell is a tasty language made by a bunch of wonderful weirdos.

And it's #opensouce and #crossplatform.

Eat up!

Even Uruk-Hai know that PowerShell can be a tasty treat.

@radiochu.bsky.social thanks for being my 1,000 follower!

You get a gif!

May the meme bring you a little boost.

#PowerShell #ThisWorked #Tip #Trick #Amazing
~~~PowerShell
Start-ThreadJob {param($V)
foreach ($kv in $v.GetEnumerator()) {
$ExecutionContext.SessionState.PSVariable.Set($kv.Key, $kv.Value)
}
testing
} -Arg @{'function:testing' = {1..3}} | Wait-Job | Receive-Job
~~~

PowerShell is truly amazing. In this example we have a ThreadJob which takes a single variable as an argument and unpacks it into more variables. Since you can set any provider with provider syntax (drive:path), we can use this trick to create functions on the fly in the nested thread.

Hard relate.

I helped build a language that's now old enough to vote ( #powershell ).

Been online since the dawn of the Internet.

It helps you see how the dots connect.

Probably gonna keep #nerding until I die.

Grandpa Simpson old techs can run circles around newbies. Don't feel bad about it though, you've got a lifetime to master your skills.

Opening up a #PowerShell / #AtProto #PandorasBox

If we treat #http or #websocket messages as #PowerShell events, we can automatically respond.

If we treat #atproto as one big #objectpipeline, we can do #realtime data analysis and response.

For example, dispatching emergency services.

If we take http and websocket messages and treat them as PowerShell events, we can respond in real time as anything is posted.

This opens Pandora's box a bit, because this is definitely something that is good for both the blue team and the red team. It allows for a very light and globally available realtime response. This could be used for nearly instant scalable servers, and also allows for nearly instant sh*posting and lightweight command and control.

Please Program Responsibly

As someone who makes quite a lot of #opensource #powershell, I can assure you:

I want you to "steal" my code.

I want everyone to be able to learn from code I post, and leverage it in any way they see fit.

That's why I posted it to #github, under an MIT license.

#StealMyCode

Please, Steal My Code.

Potentially controversial #PowerShell question ( opinions from #bash / #python / #linux nerds welcome )

If commands were named without dashes, would you be more happy?

Like if we started aliasing `GetProcess` to `Get-Process`, would that make you a happier camper?

🔥🤷

Inquiring minds want to know if PowerShell would be better with fewer dashes?

Well, you can look on the bright side:

My cheap work laptop has a dying fan, and my sanity is dying along with it.

( When it starts squeaking I'll have to escalate )

So enjoy your fan working on overdrive.

Better than working on underdrive.

Someone is encoding their media collection, and it might blow the house down.

I do love the smell of #crossplatform #powershell #github #workflows in the morning.

It's the only way to build.

If you get a good release pipeline and tests, you can just merge your PR, let it publish, and walk away like a bonafide badass.

Even Kronk gets how much faster it would be to look up Lexicons as DNS records.

But wait, what if it's complicated?

Neil deGrasse Tyson knows that it's complicated. Does whoever is asking you to simplify it get that?

Yep / Can Confirm.

Worked in the management division back in the day.

#DOD demanded #IPV6 support. I helped make sure the stack supported it.

They actually know what they're doing, too.

Good modern networks are pretty locked down.

Katy Can Confirm that Windows IPV6 Support is actually a matter of national security.

So beautifully true!

There's always more options in an #API than in a #GUI.

IIRC Windows Firewall lets you lock down what protocols / ports each application and service can talk to, and where that traffic can come from.

My 🌶️ take:

Best software firewall there is.

There are so many firewalls, but Windows Firewall might be the best software firewall in the world.

Indeed, there does seem to be a pattern.

Seth Meyers knows the problem with Microsoft haters: they're gonna hate.

More on this in A Closer Look.

As a former #Windows engineer, I'd have to say this is the most accurate 🌶️ take on #cybersecurity #infosec I've seen in years.

Almost nobody understands how to securely configure any OS, or just how much changed in #vista.

Rich Sanchez knows how much @SwiftOnSecurity gets it.

Neat trick!

Seems useful for us #PowerShell #GitHub nerds that run 1000s of jobs a year.

Fantastic!

I'll look at the source and see if I can't make a good PowerShell wrapper for us all.

Great work!

To be fair, that's the packager / installer ( and NodeJS's choices of how to use it ).

So it's not that Windows has those aesthetics.

It's that crappy installers do.

I'd be more frustrated at this if I didn't know how annoying making MSIs can be.

To be fair, Linux command line arguments aren't anywhere near sane or consistent, either.

Only semi-consistent argument patterns are those that come from argparse or PowerShell .

Letterkenny tries to be fair about argument parsers and anti patterns.

David Rose would very much like you to stop insulting people who ask for information.

Even as someone who tries to be neurotic about their coding styles, you'll find this a lot.

Basically I see the whole world as object pipelines of data and try to break / redefine the game.

Apologies for the momentary lack of humility.

Vaguely the way I see the world around me. As streams of data representing life.

A Mean Girl tells her "friend" that "fetch" is never going to catch on.

Seems like at least a quarter of the #PowerShell feed at any given moment is people hating on PowerShell.

If we can keep it kind, can anyone help us understand why?

Ryan Reynolds wants to know why people are hating on PowerShell.

Seriously wondering why that is.

It's a flexible language that challenges a lot of conventions.

It was built by a lot of weirdos of all varieties ( basically an international team of #linux nerds working at #microsoft)

And you can #shapeshift / #genderbend objects!

But why not love it?

Ryan Reynolds asks "but why not use PowerShell?"

#PowerShell may be the only #genderfluid programming language.

~~~PowerShell
$i = [PsCustomObject]@{pstypename='normie'}
$i.pstypenames.clear()
$i.pstypenames.add('NB')
$i | get-member
~~~

The lang was made by a team of #cis and #trans devs, and has fluid duck typing.

This has many benefits.

The More You Know: PowerShell has a fluid typing system, which allows you to more flexibly around how objects self identity.

#powershell #security #tip #trick

PowerShell has language modes ( and data blocks ).

You can get or set the current language mode with:

`$executionContext.SessionState.LanguageMode`

You can also use a data block to run only simple safe expressions.

`data { 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 }`
