Zeb Palmer (Syringa Admin)@nixCraft accurate. Zero windows in our entire company, I'm going to run out of popcorn.

🇳🇿@zebpalmer @nixCraft heh heh - I had the same worry. Luckily I find myself with an unexpected surplus of fine ales, so I think I'll manage.
Myza Nil Red@nixCraft I am completely out of the loop. What the hell happened?
@myzanilred https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cnk4jdwp49et Crowdstrike cybersecurity firm blames software update for worldwide IT chaos
RejZoR@nixCraft @myzanilred I mean, systems that do not function are very much unlikely to be hacked.
Martijn VosWhat the hell happened?
People were running proprietary software on Windows, and that went wrong.
Bob Beaker@nixCraft I'm going full on Kryten. "Engaging smug mode… smug mode engaged."
I've had two #Microsoft products forced on me over the years. Our solar inverter has Windows CE for the web interface, firewalled so it can talk to just one machine on our LAN.
And my car has some Windows variant in the ICE. Regularly crashes on startup. Wife's car's ICE runs a linux variant, never had a problem with it other than her taste in music.
Vincent Maurin@nixCraft Remember GRUB update, remember ...
Viktor Tokariev 🇺🇦
tyil@nixCraft I'm like that all the time
sl0wj03@nixCraft nice 😄
TruckStopSantaClaus@nixCraft yeah I didn't even know anything happened until this morning

@TruckStopSantaClaus @nixCraft same...
I'm just glad I'm on the #Linux team and will stay in it!

@[email protected] @[email protected] I'd never take a job where I'd not have a Linux machine! https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/112811321136761158
I only noticed the complaints, not the issue itself. Not the first time either.

Gustavo Litovsky@nixCraft “why is my wireless driver not working”
@nixCraft #Funfact: using #Linux instead would've prevented this shitshow!

"Linux would have prevented this!" literally true because my former colleague KP Singh wrote a kernel security module that lets EDR implementations load ebpf into the kernel to monitor and act on security hooks and Crowdstrike now uses that rather than requiring its own kernel module that would otherwise absolutely have allowed this to happen, so everyone please say thank you to him
