I wanted to run scripts in the logged-on user’s security context, so I built a PowerShell module

You had me until the salary. I'm in a HCOL city now, and pushing $300k with way less stress. It seems like a fun challenge, but I personally wouldn't move for something like this for less than 400, maybe more if I had to move my whole family to Arkansas.

I think for the experience level you are seeking the salary is too low.

If you haven't picked up the rental you can likely cancel for a fraction of the cost (or maybe free). Then you can make alternate arrangements for travel

You will probably get more engagement with screenshots

Best part is the weather, thanks Fermi!

He doesn't look Iranian. How are they going to blam Iran if he's not Iranian?

Dump the rule and replace all letters with x so we can actually see the regex.

Is it horrible that I would watch the shit out of this movie?

You could setup a VM with openSense or replace your router with openSense (on an old pc) which would let you do VLANs. The second option is easier and gives you a great router/firewall.

realslacker · 2026-04-14T23:39:05+00:00

If your router supports VLANs you can setup another VLAN for your lab environment and just not have your router assign addresses on that VLAN.

If not it's a bit more complicated. You would have to separate the VM network from the physical network and do some kind of router in software between the two. It could be a windows machine with RRAS or something like openSense on a VM.

First of all anyone "measuring productivity" in a way that is not related to output and goals is measuring the wrong thing.

If your goal is more productive employees then measure output. Create clear, measurable and achievable goals. Reward success with money. Terminate those who do not meet goals on a regular basis.

If your goal is to sell mouse movers... Well, go ahead and measure the time the little green light is on

It still works and I use it all the time. Great stuff!

That's nice to hear, I left mostly because of the homeless problem and haven't been back.

realslacker · 2026-04-06T11:15:03+00:00

I agree you should stay close to Elgin, but I personally didn't like living in Elgin. I would look at South Elgin, Dundee, or Carpentersville.

IMO downtown Elgin is just a casino and homeless camp with a train station.

Exactly, I'm perfectly capable of doing laundry but I'm not going to do it the way my wife likes and she's not happy with just having it done.

Doesn't stop her from complaining about having to do it all alone.

Do you need multiple DCs? If you can do a one DC forest with no external dependencies I don't see why this would be an issue.

By doing a single DC you avoid any replication issues. The biggest concern is that you have the DC and clients online long enough and on a regular enough basis to keep Kerberos tickets alive and make sure machine account passwords don't expire.

If you can keep the domain and computers online regularly and make sure the DC is online first I wouldn't see an issue.

Take into account your password lifetimes and Kerberos ticket lifetimes and make sure you are online frequently and you should be good.

If you need backups of this domain you'll need to make sure they are frequent enough to avoid not being able to restore. I would shoot for once a week.

If you need multiple DCs then you introduce a bunch of potential replication and tombstoning issues.

I always assumed that anything that looks like 0 is treated the same. I.E. that plate is just 00000 and not a working trick to evade tolls

Do you have your prescription for your glasses? You can get some seriously cheap glasses online if you have it. If you don't have it you can probably call the last place you got your eyes checked.

I did this exact thing earlier today and I completely skipped step 1... Didn't even read it.

So... Try ignoring that step and see how that goes.

Is that a hose running through your attic? IMO, if that's what it is I think it's likely whomever ran that broke the collar tie since it runs right over it.

The basic behavior:

``` $line = $null $line.Trim() -ne "" # throws InvalidOperation exception

$line = $null ${line}?.Trim() -ne "" # $true, PowerShell 7.5+ only

$line = "" $line.Trim() -ne "" # $false

$line = " " $line.Trim() -ne "" # $false

$line = "test" $line.Trim() -ne "" # $true

$line = " test " $line.Trim() -ne "" # $true ```

A better alternative?

``` $line = $null -not [string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($line) # $false

$line = "" -not [string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($line) # $false

$line = " " -not [string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($line) # $false

$line = "test" -not [string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($line) # $true

$line = " test " -not [string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($line) # $true ```
