Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    My guess as a Linux admin in IT.

    I understand the fix takes ~5 minutes per system, must be done in person, and cannot be farmed out to users.

    There are likely conversations about alternatives or mitigations to/for crowdstrike.

    Most things were likely fixed yesterday. (Depending on staffing levels.) Complications could go on for a week. Fallout of various sorts for a month.

    Lawsuits, disaster planning, cyberattacks (targeting crowdstrike companies and those that hastily stopped using it) will go on for months and years.

    The next crowdstrike mistake could happen at any time...

    Sounds like the tagline to an action movie.

    I would watch it.

    Coming in a computer near you: Crowdstrikenado!

    Fully agree as a security engineer with a mostly Microsoft shop. We have some pending laptop fixes, but I think we've talked our cio out of hastily pulling out of CrowdStrike. Really, it didn't hit us hard. Maybe down for 2-3 hours around 4 am Friday morning. Microsoft gives us many more issues more frequently and we don't have constant talk of pulling it out...

    Maybe you should ;)

    As a Linux user I deal with Windows issues way too often administering other laptops.
