What's certifications do you wish to get in 2025?

Hi! What's up?
As a new year approaches, it brings fresh opportunities and new knowledge to explore. Certifications are a fantastic way to strengthen your skills, stay current with tech industry trends, and improve your career prospects. With 2025 just around the corner, it's a great time to think about what certifications you might pursue to advance your goals.
Each of us has unique aspirations, and the certifications we choose often reflect the career paths we're passionate about. Whether you're diving deeper into cloud computing, mastering DevOps practices, exploring cybersecurity, or venturing into data and AI, there’s a wealth of options to consider. But beyond the certifications themselves, it’s the learning journey that shapes us—the skills we gain, the challenges we overcome, and the growth we experience.
So, what certifications are on your radar for 2025?

I'll start the answer:
I have a CKA certification, and I bought the CKAD in Cyber Monday. Maybe I'll buy CKS and stay so closer for Kubeastronaut in next year ;)

Your time now!

Download videos from Microsoft Stream with Destreamer

DISCLAIMER: Unfortunately, this project has been abandoned by your creator in GitHub.

Presentation

Hello everyone
In these last days I participated in some online lectures that were recorded and made available by Microsoft Stream. Many of these talks, I would like to save offline, to watch during a trip or even listen as a podcast.
There are hundreds (if not thousands) of tools that download videos from YouTube, all online, but unfortunately, none for Microsoft Stream.

It was then that I came across this repository on GitHub and decided to share it with the dev.to community. Enjoy ;)

Prereqs

NodeJS
NPM
FFMPEG
Git

How to build

$ git clone https://github.com/snobu/destreamer
$ cd destreamer
$ npm install

  --noCleanup, --nc       Do not delete the downloaded video file when an FFmpeg error occurs.[boolean] [default: false]
  --vcodec                Re-encode video track. Specify FFmpeg codec (e.g. libx265) or set to "none" to disable video.
                                                                                              [string] [default: "copy"]

  --format                Output container format (mkv, mp4, mov, anything that FFmpeg supports).
                                                                                               [string] [default: "mkv"]

For example, I had to download some videos and make them manually it would be laborious, so I copied the links and put them in a notepad inside the installation folder.
From there, I ran the command at a Windows prompt:

destreamer.cmd -u USER@EMAIL.COM -f links.txt -k true -x true --skip

-u: I pass the user to login to Microsoft Stream (it is still necessary to enter the password).

-f: It is the file that contains my links, they must be placed one per line. If you want to download a single file, just use the -i option and pass the direct link to the video (read the help or documentation).

-k: I set it to true to keep the session cookie I logged in. Thus, it is not necessary to enter the password in any of the subsequent downloads. Complete automation.

-x: The destreamer tool presents a brief preview of the video being downloaded. To remove this, I set this option to true. The output log is cleaner.

--skip: If any video fails, I can run this entire command again and this parameter will validate that the video has already been downloaded and will ignore it for download.
