Azure Artifact Signing introduced a stable publisher id inside the certificate that is *perfect* for pinning, but Microsoft didn't follow through. There are no easy ways to inspect this publisher id, either through the GUI, Win32 APIs or PowerShell commands

How software engineering is changing at Devolutions: my first-hand account of a year of AI, from early mistakes to finishing a major 3-year migration in one. This long-form essay was originally written for The Pragmatic Engineer’s essay challenge 👇 devolutions.net/blog/develop...

We're discussing switching from an EV certificate to Azure Artifact Signing for Devolutions RDM. This means updating our custom certificate pinning to check the publisher ID and Microsoft Root CAs instead of a list of thumbprints of EV certificates. Is anyone doing the same?

Notion has basic projects and tasks features - I wonder if it is sufficient to replace JIRA if you rethink the way you develop software for AI agents today: www.notion.com/help/guides/...

I wish GitHub pull requests could automatically exclude or remove entire directories of files when merging them - this would make software factories a lot easier with intermediate artifacts on a branch that get discarded later

HydraFusion Max in GitHub Copilot is definitely worth it to get a very high level of intelligence at a fraction of the cost: github.blog/changelog/20...

Fans are running loud on my laptop as I give my AI agents all the VMs they need to perform live testing of complex RDP features like session redirection in an RD Gateway farm. This would have taken forever to test by hand

ClawTank is a new RDP server for macOS based on IronRDP: github.com/HMAKT99/Claw...

Are you building an AI software factory? How is it going so far? I'd like to hear your thoughts

If you have an Android phone and receive a lot of spam calls, I highly recommend you install PrefixBlocker (www.prefixblocker.com). It works locally with simple prefix-based rules. I only use the phone for local calls anyway, and I just cut 80% of unsolicited calls so far

How many times has PHP been rewritten in Rust in the past 24 hours?

Is there something similar to GitHub Actions runners, but with quick suspend/resume, and more suitable for agentic workflows? I want to create an environment that matches the lifetime of an agent session that can go idle, and resume state when resuming the session

What are your thoughts on Gemini 4 Argon? I've been using it for a day in GitHub Copilot, and it looks decent

🚀 @devolutions.net is back as a PARTNER Sponsor of #PowerShell #Conference #Europe 2027 in #Kraków! You'll find the team on stage and in the exhibition area throughout the event. Give them a warm #PSConfEU welcome and let's make some noise for Devolutions! 👏 See you in #Poland!

Anybody else feels like a side effect of AI is less desire for collaboration? The cost of waiting for pull requests to be merged upstream is so high when compared to writing your own thing from scratch. It's like people don't even bother looking for existing libraries anymore

Today is an AMAZING day for anyone on Windows to try @awakecoding.com 's fantastic UniGetUI devolutions.net/unigetui/

Let's celebrate 20 years of PowerShell! On November 14th, I've been invited to chat a bit of PS history. Make sure to get your questions in for @jsnover.com. www.linkedin.com/events/75169...

Now we're cooking! ISEBerg is now part of Devolutions Terminal. Easily open new ISE-style editors right alongside your terminal. Thanks, @awakecoding.com!

It's time to drop support for Windows PowerShell, and move to PowerShell 7. Yes, even if it doesn't yet ship in-box with Windows Server. Just install it by default - you can still use WinRM, no need to switch to SSH. .NET Framework is *ancient* and lacks a decade of improvements

What is your current solution for persisting data in between PowerShell script executions, and what would be your ideal solution if you could have exactly what you wanted?

PSWSMan 3.0 is out with cross-platform Windows authentication support provided by sspi-rs, the Rust SSPI library that we develop at Devolutions! This is a major upgrade from Jordan, go try it out 💪👇

⚡ 3x faster .NET restore on GitHub Actions Windows runners, with two environment variables. By default, the NuGet cache sits on the slow C: disk. Move NUGET_PACKAGES and NUGET_HTTP_CACHE_PATH to the faster D: disk, and Windows restore times match Linux: awakecoding.com/posts/speedi...

Would you rather use a Windows App clone, or an mstsc clone? Assume it has 100% feature parity with the original

📍 The secret is out. #PSConfEU 2027 is heading to Kraków, Poland (21>24 June 2027) 🔴⚪️ 🎟 Only 30 Early Bird tickets at €1,650 ⏳ Until 30 October or sold out 👉 psconf.eu #PSConfEU #PowerShell #Pwsh #Krakow

I've always disliked that I couldn't test Kerberos in CI easily and so I've written a #PowerShell module called Obol that can setup a KDC and configure the environment for the platform you are on github.com/jborean93/Po.... Uses @syfuhs.net's Kerberos.NET for the message parsing and encryption work.

🚨PowerShell ISE, made cross-platform, with PowerShell 7!🚨 @adamrdriscoll.com has been cooking with "ISEberg" 👇

I'm looking for .NET projects using SQLite that I could swap the original nuget dependency with Turso in order to surface bugs, gaps in features, and performance issues. Reply with a link to the project I should try wiring the .NET Turso bindings into 👇

I just got asciinema live streaming support in Devolutions Terminal 📽️

I figured out why "dotnet restore" performance is so bad on Windows runners as opposed to Linux runners: GitHub Actions doesn't override NUGET_PACKAGES, NUGET_HTTP_CACHE_PATH to point to the D:\ drive which is where the builds are done with faster disk I/O 👇

Anybody else experiencing weird issues with child sessions in the GitHub Copilot app? I'm not sure if it's related to HydraFusion, but sometimes it just fails to create sessions and then creates duplicate sessions: github.com/github/app/i...

What's the best approach to ship FIPS-compatible software? One package with a configurable FIPS option that disables features at runtime? A separate package with the features disabled at build time? A runtime option looks easy in theory, but harder in practice from my analysis
