Sure! Feel free to DM or whatever. I also lurk on the PowerShell discord with the same username.

Doesn’t Chrome on Windows use the Windows cert store by default just like Edge? Or did that change at some point?

Time for a Tailscale or equivalent wire guard network?

It’s based off a book series I quite enjoyed that has a whole bunch more context. While I’m enjoying the show, it feels very…terse?…so far with less than 30 min episodes.

Wait, the markdown files aren’t used as the source of truth anymore? That seems like a pretty big departure from the old version.

I still haven’t found the time to migrate. What was the process like?

Not sure if this is even possible on a Windows CA but unless the point of the lab CA is to test revocation, I’d probably try to spin it up without CRL publishing in the certs at all. Then you avoid the need to spin it up periodically to refresh the list, right?

Odd. I don’t think I’ve ever actually been signed out on mobile since the first time I signed in. My biggest peeve with the default client is that it won’t remember my place in the feed so I can pick up where I left off. It always wants to go to the latest post which is super aggravating.

Sorting IPs in Excel reminds me of these #Powershell sorting classes I wrote a few years ago specifically for CIDR ranges, domain names, and email addresses. These plus @dougfinke.bsky.social’s ImportExcel module make generating network data spreadsheets a breeze. gist.github.com/rmbolger/371...

I feel like most shells I’ve ever used only allow for env var names that are ascii a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and underscore. But I’m sure there’s some craziness out there that exists.

Nothing off the top of my head. For the code execution concerns, there’s also .psd1 files which are commonly used for module manifests but intended to be general data files. There’s an associated Import-PowerShellDataFile function that does the equivalent of dot sourcing without executing anything.

Alternatively, you could make a standard .ps1 file to dot-source with lines like `$env:MYVAR = “my value”`

.env files aren’t really “a thing” in PowerShell. If you need to load key/value pairs from a text file into environment variables, you’re likely reading the file line by line in a loop, doing some string manipulation to split on “=“, and running the appropriate command to set the env var.

Do you have any smaller than mid-tower case recs? Knowing you’ll prob need to change MB form factors as well.

Ironically the IP address ACME extension has existed for quite a while. But no public CA actually implemented it until now. ZeroSSL has offered public IP certs, but not through their ACME interface. Generally, IP certs are much more common in private environments on like network gear with web UIs.

The main legit use case I see for IP certs are for DNS over HTTPS/TLS (DoH/DoT) servers. The rest is likely just convenience and being able to avoid cert warnings and HSTS hassles if you’re debugging DNS on a site. But since SNI so ubiquitous these days, even that has limited use.
