Finished setting up BookStack with LDAP

What a pain but is all good.

This is something I've been looking at doing just haven't stopped to play with yet. Any bumps you ran into that you're willing to share please do to minimize my pains :face_with_stuck-out_tongue:

Don't know if there are any baseball fans in here, but yesterday's Opening Day games were crazy! Very excited to have baseball back.

I was able to catch the last few innings of the A's game. Unfortunately, this was game 3 for the A's, since they and Seattle played two regular season games in Japan a week ago.

It boils my blood that they had to play two regular season games and be in the appropriate mindset for it, and then play three more exhibitions games.

Sounds like an amazing opening day.
Kind of salty that I missed it.

That was a great experience for the people of Japan getting to see their hometown legend as he goes out into retirement. Not ideal for the A's maybe, but part of the MLB efforts to expand the game into other parts of the world. The team I follow, the Reds, will be playing down in Mexico in a couple weeks and then later in the year there will be a game or two in London.

This will sound super-n00bish, but oh well. $args in PowerShell has changed my life. That is all. Continue with your regularly scheduled ML trolling, lurking, and posting.

How so?

I really only ever used it to check for extra arguments/parameters in my functions / scripts to output an error if the $args.count is higher than it should be, for example.

What are you using it for?

I'm working on a script right now that will make use of start-job and using $args lets me pass the value of a variable between scopes. In this case, I'd be passing a value from earlier in the script into the start-job scriptblock.

Man, it took me forever to figure out how to do something similar!

You could just set the -scope of the variable to global...

I've never used -scope when defining a variable. I'll have to try that out.

Change to version 6 documentation if you are using that.

3-5 cups a day will definitely cause sleeping issues.

I sleep just fine, and i drink way more than that. But my body has had so much caffeine on a daily basis for so long it just isn't funny.

I know it cannot be healthy.
