Keeping an eye on the Panama Belgium game.
I forgot that these were going on. Now I know what I'm going to have running in the background...
Some HUGE upsets yesterday. Switzerland stopped Brasil's opening win streak running since 1978. And Mexico upset Germany in a win so big and unexpected that when the winning goal was made Mexico City registered an earthquake from the people jumping and stamping!
Great upset indeed, we celebrated really hard but no earthquake was registered, that was a pretty big exaggeration.
SSN (Servicio Sismoligico Nacional) which is our official research center for seismic activity (twitter handle https://twitter.com/sismologicomx?lang=en) has already denied the different stories written due to that tweet.
But it is still so much easier and attractive to keep running a fake story due to a soccer win from our national team and especially against Germany.

Finding more ways to do some simple Windows administration tasks using Powershell rather than a GUI tool. Yay more efficiency!

We've increased the efficiency of PowerShell here by calling it from Linux boxes. We've gained a huge amount of automation performance from that. So silly, but it really works.

Can you actually do manage Windows stuff from Linux with PowerShell now?

Ah, cool. Then I may need to test some stuff... Does it have the Active Directory modules and such yet?

It's Powershell 6.0. I believe it can do whatever you can do on Windows... but I haven't really tested it yet.

No, you are thinking of PowerShell on Linux to manage Windows remotely. We are using BASH on Linux to run PowerShell remotely. So the version of PowerShell is whatever is installed on Windows.

PowerShell on Linux is for managing Linux with PowerShell. We are using Linux to manage Windows boxes. So the PowerShell in question is on Windows. We can use anything... BASH, ZSH, PowerShell, GUI on Linux side.

What do you mean, using PSCore on Linux to automate tasks on Windows? PSCore is still lacking a lot of functions.

Just got to the answer.

You're using the built in OpenSSH functionality?

That's the only reliable way I've found to remotely connect from Linux to Windows to issue PS commands.

That's all I could think of.

Was thinking maybe they are running them via salt but kind of doubt that.

Salt does PowerShell easy but I don't think that's what he meant.

No, not needed. You normally automate on the target, not on the workstation.
