  • I’ve been using WordPress on Bluehost for a few years. I’m looking to move to something like Jekyll. Pretty much everything I get from WordPress can be done with a like JavaScript and Jekyll. There are plenty of examples out there of building it off of GitHub actions.

    I also do NOT recommend Bluehost. I was having issues with my site going down for no reason a while back. I contacted their support to see what was going on and they told me it wasn’t on their end. And guess what, it was on their end. Ended up catching the guy in a lie. Just been trying to find the time to move everything off of them.



  • I kind of do both. I have a powerful desktop with 4 monitors. I can’t stand working on a single laptop screen unless I’m traveling. And I also want to keep work separate. So, I have my laptop sitting next to my PC and I just RDP into it. This way all 4 screens are work only stuff when I’m working. Then at the end of the day I can just disconnect the session and have my personal stuff. I also have ADHD, so I try not never leave the work session during work times. I’ve been working from exclusively for about 6 years now and it has been the best system I’ve tried.


  • I’ve used ChatGPT and Copilot to help with PowerShell in the past. For the most part I’ve found it, okay. But I can definitely see how that could happen. I’ve had a few instances where is tried giving me cmdlets that don’t exist. This means it is just taking pieces of code from someone else’s project and not understanding how it all fits together. So, if I search that cmdlet there is no telling the number of results I could get from good, bad, or irrelevant sources. It would be better if it told you where that code came from. Then I could look at the original source and see if they created custom functions that these AI are considering to be built-in cmdlets.
