Thank you to @microsoftmvp.bsky.social for 2026-2027, can't believe it's been 14 consecutive years! Also, thank you to everyone who supports my community work... it's really a team effort from every side that makes it possible. I'm looking forward to the next year of #WinUI and #dotnet
It was worth the wait... the #SmithBlade from @smithhack.bsky.social Everything is meticulously crafted and feels amazing. P.S. I can't wait to go tour HERC, just waiting until they're not still overwhelmed
Native support for containers is now available in WSL with `wslc` drop in for docker. 1. Update WSL `wsl --update --pre-release` 2. Run Hello World `wslc run --rm -it ubuntu:latest bash -c "echo Hello world from WSL container!"`
Do you use Hugo or similar static site generator? I just figured out how to replace the twitter-shortcode with a custom bluesky-shortcode template. This was perfect for my blog posts because I needed to update all Twitter embeds to Bluesky embeds. Enjoy! github.com/LanceMcCarth...
I'm loving #HomeAssistant new energy tracking features. My place in Costa Rica is killing it with "100% Self-sufficiency" and "100% Self-consumed solar energy".
Im an independent judge at #MIT #realityhack 2016 hackathon today. Bonus, I bumped into @jbmcculloch.bsky.social here.

This is so annoying. The latest Microsoft Edge updates now permanently keep this stupid "manage extensions" button in the toolbar
Just created my custom GitHub Universe wallpaper using Octocanvas from #GitHubUniverse 🎨
LOL @jcsalterego.bsky.social did they target me with this example or did they blast you to the entire world?
Thank you @microsoftmvp.bsky.social I am again extremely humbled and honored. While this is my 12th consecutive year, I never treat it with any less importance, my heart is pounding right now. #MVPBuzz #dotnet #windowsdev
Wow that is a lot of time, what's the host device? Email me if you want to chat further. I have ~6 years of stuff in my HA journey... but I do a bi-yearly review for stuff that is not used anymore and I have consolidated/transferred to more efficient types (e.g. remote API to Matter).
This "one small trick"... got my uplink speed to double :) The trick? Instead of Cat6 to DOCSIS modem, I used an SFP+ to Ethernet module... this gets the full 2.5 Gbps out of the Cat6 Though my ISP can only bring 1.5 GBs, I'm still getting 2x what I was before the module.
I'm loving my Windows Terminal shaders. I have a different one playing for each console type: PowerShell, Bash, WSL, Console, etc. What do you think? You can get the same ones, or others, from here mrange.github.io/windows-term...
It's amazing that I have a huge air conditioner blowing, and a bunch of other stuff in house... But there's still a surplus of energy generation that is charging the battery. #solarpower
I hadn't heard from them aout this, so I thought we didn't achieve it... but alas, here it is!
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, itsa beautiful day in the neighborhood... #mvpsummit #mvpbuzz
Just Blogged: dvlup.com/blog/2024.03... Where I show you how to use GitHub Actions to code sign your .NET MAUI WinUI's MSIX packages without a single password or secret.
I'm really liking that Visual Studio is showing the README of NuGet packages now. I'll redesign mine to better suit VS2022 users...
Decided today was the day I wanted to spin up Windows 95 for the classic startup sound :D
