    Rollout policies are the answer, and CrowdStrike should be made an example of if they were truly overriding policies set by the customer.

    It seems more likely to me that nobody was expecting “fingerprint update” to have the potential to completely brick a device, and so none of the affected IT departments were setting staged rollout policies in the first place. Or if they were, they weren’t adequately testing.

    Then - after the fact - it’s easy to claim that rollout policies were ignored when there’s no way to prove it.

    If there’s some evidence that CS was indeed bypassing policies to force their updates I’ll eat the egg on my face.

    API access was only half the problem. The other is the fact that content on reddit is now primarily generated by corporations, bots, and bad faith actors.

    Going there for specific threads (e.g. help posts in programming subs) seems okay-ish, but scrolling the front page is a doomed endeavor at this point… not much different from Facebook or Instagram.

    There is no original thought.

    A friend of mine had some explaining to do when he screwed up a dhcp config change and started routing his guest wifi through his “personal” pihole instead of the restricted guest one (he had family/children over often and did not want to be the reason nephew Timmy got an eyeful of wet bush or a beheading).

    His family-friendly pihole was at holypi.lastname.local and his private one was creampi.lastname.local
