@lintnotes I managed to do a driver update and completely kill the keyboard and the steps to get it working again were insane.

@_POPPELGAARD @Starlink yeah, it's bullshit. I'm glad I just signed up to a 12 month discounted plan before this kicked in.

@Brinkhoff_C It’s great that we have more options than just swiftpoint stuff but I feel like this is the Citrix X1 mouse all over again, would be nice if iOS would stop gatekeeping mouse support.

@guyrleech @therealshodan it makes it sound like you're getting actual work done whatever you're typing. Buckling Spring is where it's at, the old IBM Model M keyboards click twice for every keystroke.

@guyrleech @Microsoft @googlechrome It's not deprecated, it got updated for server 2025 and that can cause issues in high IO environments. I've done dedupe of FSLogix with ReFS on Server 2019 before and it worked fine, was doing it for about a year but only 450 concurrent profiles.

[@o-p.bsky.social @O_P]

@guyrleech @Microsoft @googlechrome If you have the ability to move it to a ReFS share I’d do that, I think it’ll handle it better. It’s definitely faster when it comes to shrinking and expanding the vhdx files too.

[@o-p.bsky.social @O_P]

@guyrleech @Microsoft @googlechrome I guess if your profiles all have a lot of identical static files then you’ll see a benefit until at least the next chrome update as those blocks shouldn’t change. How often are you running dedupe?

[@o-p.bsky.social @O_P]

@guyrleech @Microsoft If you need to recover disk space compact the vhdx files at logoff or on a schedule, you’ll get back the free space inside the vhdx. Use exclusions and redirections to keep stuff out in the first place and scripts to periodically clean them up.

[@o-p.bsky.social @O_P]

@guyrleech @Microsoft It’s not unsupported but it’s not recommended because it’s a block level dedupe and not a file level one. As soon as you touch the disk the blocks change and all the benefits are gone, and you touch the disk as soon as it’s mounted.

@shawnbass congrats @shawnbass, exciting news!

[@o-p.bsky.social @O_P]

@ViolenceWorks you could expand this to rideshare drivers who need a side gig, they could just circle the block for you looking for parking spots and then pull out just as you arrive. Pay them $5 or so and you skip having to look for parking.

[@o-p.bsky.social @O_P]

@guyrleech they share the domain SID but the last part (RID) should still be unique, you'd end up with replication errors if they were identical

I had some free time, so I updated four of the Citrix documentation scripts to reflect the latest version checklists. Nothing else was added or changed, as I no longer have a lab or access to one.

@guyrleech I know you said you didn’t want to use OpenSSL but if you changed your mind couldn’t you install Windows Susbsystem for Linux and call it with powershell from there?
