Worldwide Network outages

Once Blah Blah Blahsfield showed up a second time and spewed more of his maniacal nonsense.

Dude is more like multiple decks (not cards) short of a full deck and obviously has more screws loose than there are screws in existence.

 

For the record, this didn't care if you were cloud based or not, it's hitting laptops and workstations just as hard as it's hitting remote infrastructure.

 

Linux anyone?

 

Y2K!!! Just a little late....

 

Was wondering when you were gonna show up. You must have been busy all day not unfucking a M$ product.

 

Good one!

Haven’t thought about it in a long time but I remember working Y2K Eve in the office monitoring multiple time zones as I was supporting a global bank and when nothing happened we all thought “what a fucking waste of time”

And by the time we got done all the were closed.

 

Crowdstrike is also available for Linux.

 

I’ve never encountered it.

 

I just heard on the radio that sometime in the last year, the same company took out Linux users with a different update.

However a Southwest Airlines was good because there system is still using windows 3.1 and windows 95.

 

Yeah. A company can release a bad patch. It happens obviously. But how that kind of shit gets past testing is the kinda crazy part.

 

Yes, there is a crowdstrike agent for Linux. We run it.
Yes, Linux has been impacted by crowdstrike. We got hit last year.
This wasn't a Microsoft problem at all, this was all a third party enterprise security company skipping QA on a patch and fucking billions of systems worldwide, which they have done in the past as well.
We have no customer-facing windows servers, so no real issues on this one. But corporate systems, like all major companies, are majority windows.

 

didn't MM93 ask about a certain server that crowdstrike had ownership of?

 

What do you do for profession Ute?

 

Primary job is in the IT management sector.

 

Now you're to the heart of the matter. And BSOD? That would have shown up in any QA process, it's not like it required some very rare set of circumstances.

 

Aren’t there colossal data complexes in Utah? Seems like the first big ones were built out there…

 

There are large data centers around, but the NSA has the biggest.

 

that’s the one I was thinking of… remember reading about it…

 

Not sure if it had anything to do with it, but they were giving away free buckets of balls at the range today...
