There's definitely been a shift recently from "it'll be good one day" to "it's as good as the question you ask and the information you provide".

I see that and I see the tissue my mum wiped my face with, that had been in the ashtray because she coughed up some smokey phlegm. Yup. I wonder what was on my face that required such an apocalyptic solution?

Which model are you using? Claude 4.5 seems to work best for me so far but GPT 5.1 Codex in vs code seemed pretty good as well.

Update: 7 pages of "me too" on the ms community so I'd say they do know about it :) learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answer...

Yeah I'm grasping at straws :) stackoverflow shut down the question as wrong category, Reddit isn't much help lol www.reddit.com/r/IIs/s/1YWU...

People are saying it affects IIS as well but my first problem is httplistener because that's how my app talks to its service, for 200k+ users!

The latest .net 4.x security update seems to take down http listeners via httpsys. Do we know if that update has been suspended yet?

@damianedwards.com what's the process of someone spots a large issue with a .net framework update? Is it log a ms ticket or is there a GitHub?

Yeah I use conditional package includes for that kind of thing.

Razer used to do this for the mouse driver and probably still does.

You're stuck in that weird abyss of post 80s cars that aren't electric but still have enough computers to know their engine output is dangerous to breathe and pretend to do something about it. Love that "products of incomplete combustion" smell!

Likewise doors etc. New door handles can make a big difference. For yellowed plastic fittings a can of white spray paint (paint+prime etc) freshens it up.

I'm sure they'll get to that once Halliburton or whoever gets to operate their liberated facilities (assuming they still exists nowadays, I'm out of touch with the oil game).

On a tangent, has anyone ever asked for publish with self-contained to work across multiple exes( e.g. shared self-contained)?

I've got one install that includes exes for CLI, WPF, API, but installing proper shared runtime is not an option (it's on peoples application servers). Previously net462.

That's awesome!

If you've got a single file a script and decide you want to build it as an trimmed native executable is that a supported scenario?

The runtime requirement makes it less useful for my use case (Linux tools).

Was going to suggest a trust as well, they are legally a separate entity and pretty much how "family money" works. Only worth it if dealing with sizeable amounts because everyone will need an annual tax return.
