You can also use the workflow_dispatch execution pattern and use some data input params and execute through the portal interface.

However, do be careful about trusting input params without sanitizing them (GH has docs around this).

Docker issues are always fun. I’ve repeatedly ran into docker kubernetes ssl certs being blocked by my ISP because they are dumb. Recently switched ISPs that let let’s me actually have that control.

Unless I’m doing a simple bash or pwsh script, I prefer to use GHA Script due to the headaches caused by how things are translated down and missing quotes/slashes/etc can cause massive headaches.

I’ve been meaning on spending a morning getting Nektos/ACT running.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to uninstall OneDrive & Teams from my work computer thanks to a Windows update reinstalling them. My IT director is getting frustrated by it too because he has to keep updating GP and other tools to prevent them from showing up and users inadvertently putting shit into the MS Cloud accidentally because OneDrive likes to insert itself the default documents folder.

I also prefer my start bar to be on the left hand side of my left-most monitor in vertical orientation (I run a tri-montior setup in a tie fighter configuration).

As already stated, the new right-click menu is also ass, and I keep having to fix it to get the actual fucking options I want/need without having to click a button to “show more options” from a menu that loads noticeably slower, or shift-right-click to get the intended menu.

There’s a ton of other little annoyances, like removing or relocating configuration flows with inferior tools that don’t support everything that used to be configurable. AI search in my start bar (so glad for PowerToys Run).

Windows 11 has done a great job at removing user control over their OS by forcing changes (often inferior to the old version/way) and forcing optional software installs (just wait til Recall is sitting on everybody’s machine).

Things that are nice: A better networking stack, blue tooth management, and a powerful built-in windows layout manager (Snap Layouts)

This seems like a brilliant feature to roll out as they’re getting investigated by the DOJ for being a monopoly.

Don’t chaff your stick.

As my grandmother used to tell me, “Your hands are dry, go lotion them up sonny.”

I just wish GitHub wasn’t part of MS anymore.

I also don’t want Gitlab owned by another megacorp.

Something funded by the government but ran by a public org would be ideal.

It’s not just the data transfer. It’s also number of connections and the combined load. Scaling theese kind of things can be a nightmare for games doing an auth workflow on launch day and that’s largely just text connections over REST.

Musk was an idiot and fired everybody that could have helped prevent/minimize the impact.

Co-pilot is amazing and terrible at the same time.

When it’s suggesting the exact line of code I expect to write, amazing. When it can build the permissions I need for a service account for a TF module I’ve written, amazing

However, it will suggest poorly formed, un-optimized code all too often.

That said, knowing when to use/not use/modify the suggested code has greatly improved my productivity and consistency.

I can’t believe people buy cheap trash that would be sold on Temu.

But here we are, people buy cheap ass trash off Temu. If China started picking through the trash we shipped them and sold it back to us on a site like Temu, something tells me people would still buy it.

I installed the app, did initial setup, then forced it to never update, shut off internet access, and disabled notifications. Still seeing the discount nearly 3 years later.

In the last 6 months:

• One Drive reinstalled and turned back on on my personal & work computer multiple times.
• AI Co-pilot added to my machine and enabled “so you can start using it now!” with an obtrusive pinned shortcut on my start bar, to both of the same machines but at different time intervals. Uninstalling is virtually impossible and requires registry mods to 'remove" it. Not even a powers he’ll command can remove it.

I don’t want, or need, this add-on garbage.

Do one of the following:

1. Tell your mother you’re not comfortable hosting that type of content as a non-believer.
2. Lie and hand back the propaganda movies and say you couldn’t rip them to some unknown rip protecting they use and there’s not enough resources online to figure it out.
3. Host the content and let your mother liver her life and don’t say anything.

I’d personally use option 1, but you do you.

Feedback:

Format your README better. And don’t be a condescending jerk and say “wikipedia is your friend”. If you can’t explain what you’re doing here we’re going to question your solution. You don’t have to write a white paper, but enough to show you actually understand the concept enough to explain it in brief then you provide links to detailed refefences.

Comment your code. Meaningful names are great, but you should be explaining complex concepts and algorithms within your code. This provides clear intent to people using and maintaining your code if implemented directly.
