Just asking the internet: Who wants a PowerShell module for creating / managing Shortcut files? I'm thinking of making a quick one for Windows and Linux shortcuts (.lnk, .url, .desktopEntry). This sound useful?

Went back to some old script of mine today and legitimately forgot that this sort of syntax works in PowerShell: ~~~PowerShell $sr = New-Object IO.StreamReader($decompressed, $Encoding) ~~~ Method-like syntax works more places than you'd think.

I love how everyone's like "this AD recon script must be vibe coded" It's been like 30 lines of PowerShell to recursively walk AD. Been doing it for years. Just go to each person and ask for their boss and direct reports. It's cool, yet kinda basic PowerShell. 🤷🤦

Redesigning the website for Fun Server: github.com/PoshWeb/Fun Added a randomized _very light_ #CSS gradient background with a bit of #PowerShell. Just a few overlapping repeating-radial-gradients, with very minimal opacity. How's it looking? 🙏 Feedback welcome.
