winget is pretty slick now
Just updated PowerShell via winget]1, Microsoft’s command line package manager for Windows. And then I updated Firefox. And Volta. And HeidiSQL. And Alacritty. And Go. And some other stuff.
Trying to recover a post about markdown-it-py that I accidentally deleted, so I won’t sidetrack myself with a detailed follow-up on the last time I really looked at winget.
Instead, here’s the #TIL:
winget upgrade- shows what’s out of date
winget upgrade --id=<package.id>- upgrades a package
winget upgrade --all- upgrades everything.
No “Run As Administrator” needed, though you need to click the UAC dialog. Another caveat: it’s coming from the application’s own download servers, not some Azure-backed central repository. Sometimes the fetching may take a minute.

Good day for some relaxing, pretty music.

Just saw a Web 1.0 vs 2.0 vs 3.0 that was so full of inaccuracies that I’m filing it as misinformation. My brain won’t even let me share to dunk. (except to say web 1.0 did not start in 1980)
Just because it’s in a table doesn’t make it data.

Neighbor dog has been anxiety-barking for at least 45 minutes non stop. Every once in a while one of the other neighbor dogs attempts a “shut up” bark.
Loving the suburbs.

Getting all the site workflow back under Invoke tasks and it’s a very nice feeling.
