A bit tangential, but can you recommend any GUI applications for monitoring the system? The KDE's defualt system monitor is a bit heavy and does not provide much insights. I switched to Linux some time ago as my main system, but I miss

Interestingly, the Rust windows crate is generated from an MSIL assembly. And same metadata might be used to generate C# bindings thanks to cswin32 [1] project. The meta-assembly generation (Win32 metadata project) is based on clangsharp an

I understand the burden that too much notes may take on you. I am a software troubleshooter and I used to keep my raw notes of all the interesting cases I encountered. However, with time, this set became hard to navigate. Additionally, when

Coongrats on the release. It reminds me of Log Parser Studio [1] on Windows. Using SQL to query text and log files is a great idea. [1] https://web.archive.org/web/20170710212920/http://gallery.te...

I do a lot of Windows troubleshooting and still thinking about incorporating AI in my work. The posted project looks interesting and it's impressive how fast it was created. Since it's using MCP it should be possible to bind it wi

I've been using bpftrace -lv to examine available trace points. But the bpftrace output won't show you the complex types definitions and this tool can do it. Great work!

There is also Sysmon for Linux [1]. I work often with Windows systems that's how I know it (it's a popular choice on Windows to analyze Sysmon logs for suspicious events), but it's probably niche in Linux world. [1] https:&#

Have you tried running it on wine? [1] I use it this way on Linux and, after adjusting my commands for running editors and start menu tools, everything runs smoothly. [1] https://www.ghisler.ch/wiki/index.php/Total

I feel that nowadays Rust is the language to go when you are doing system programming, but C# is not a bad choice either. With .NET 9 being released in a few weeks we will get NativeAOT (compilation to a native single binary) for x86 (x64 a

Apart from search customizations, I also use the bang searches (a few mine and many from https://github.com/kagisearch/bangs ). I also recently switched to ultimate and created a few assistants with system prompts for m

You can write drivers in Rust - it's just quite hard at the moment. Microsoft published metadata packages for WDK APIs and started creating samples: https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-rust-driver-samples

Apps developed for the modern (open-source) version of .NET may be compiled to a native code (NativeAOT). Some time ago, I tried AOT on a simple WinForms project and it worked. Unfortunately, functions using COM APIs are not yet supported (

I haven't considered the execution policy such a blocker since you may change it on the powershell.exe command line (for example, run "powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -File script.ps1" from a bat file). Also, th

AFAIR the WordPad source code was available in older Windows SDKs and it was the most comprehensive sample of using OLE embedding.
