Lol I didn’t realize because my app doesn’t show the user’s instance in the post. Either way, I invite anyone else who can’t decide on an instance yet to consider lemm.ee.

Reviewing for a GIAC certification exam next week. It’s a beta exam so my score will help dictate the passing score when it officially comes out next year.

When they realized they DO actually have something to hide, they moved the goalposts to now say nothing is private online anyway.

Join us at lemm.ee. It’s as neutral as can be, the admin is cool, and they leave blocking to the users instead of just defederating outright.

Struggling to make ends meet isn’t an excuse to be a danger to other people.

The movie Interstellar supposedly had physicist consultants to try to get the depictions of space stuff as accurate as possible, in particular the blackhole. Not sure if the wormhole is the same, since we have no actual scientific data or evidence of one. So that’s probably the best guess they could make.

If you can get a kid to tag along with, no age limit.

Even without religion exising, I think people will still eventually gravitate towards something similar. It’s a part of human nature that we are still yet to break away from as a species. Sure, atheism and agnosticism are becoming increasingly prevalent now; but it’s still a very small minority globally and it will probably never become the norm.

There’s nothing more permanent than a temporary solution.

Wasn’t the Crowdstrike CTO (or some other C-level) requested to appear before congress to talk about this issue? I think they’re more vulnerable than Microsoft because they are just a single piece of software that can be replaced by a number of other similar endpoint security products, unlike Microsoft which is more embedded and a lot of government systems are overly reliant with (Windows, Azure, etc.).

Isn’t there a .top lemmy instance?

Less regulations means more shortcuts. Another example is Hyundai/Kia. Why do the Kiaboyz exist only in the US when Kias are sold all over the world? Because it’s only in the US where they sold cars without immobilizers because they weren’t required to.

Yes! It’s the burger where the patty (angus beef) itself actually tastes good.

It is one of the most basic server management tasks.

Except these were endpoint machines, not servers. Things grinded to a halt not because servers went down, but because the computers end users interacted with crashed and wouldn’t boot, kiosk and POS systems included.

You acting like the concept is challenging seriously concerns me and I seriously wonder how anyone that thinks like that gets hired.

Damn, I guess all the IT people running the systems that were affected aren’t fit for the job.

unless you want to show me a budget that isn’t. Do you have a real one that you can provide?

Can YOU show me the bloated budgets and where they are allocated on those mid to large size corporations? You are the one who insinuated that. All I said is that my experience for all the companies I worked with is that we always had to fight hard for budget, because the sales and marketing departments bring in the $$$ and that’s only what the executives like to see, therefore they get the budget. If your entire working experience is that your IT team had too much budget, then consider yourself privileged.

It’s weird how you’re all defensive and devolve to insults when people are just responding to your post.

For sure there is a problem, but this issue caused computers to not be able to boot in the first place, so how are you gonna remotely reboot them if you can’t connect to them in the first place? Sure there can be a way like one other comment explained, but it’s so complicated and expensive that not all of even the biggest corporations do them.

Contrary to what a lot of people seem to think, CrowdStrike is pretty effective at what it does, that’s why they are big in the corporate IT world. I’ve worked with companies where the security team had a minority influence on choosing vendors, with the finance team being the major decision maker. So cheapest vendor wins, and CrowdStrike is not exactly cheap. If you ask most IT people, their experience is the opposite of bloated budgets. A lot of IT teams are understaffed and do not have the necessary tools to do their work. Teams have to beg every budget season.

The failure here is hygiene yes, but in development testing processes. Something that wasn’t thoroughly tested got pushed into production and released. And that applies to both Crowdstrike and their customers. That is not uncommon (hence the programmer memes), it just happened to be one of the most prevalent endpoint security solutions in the world that needed kernel level access to do its job. I agree with you in that IT departments should be testing software updates before they deploy, so it’s also on them to make sure they at least ran it in a staging environment first. But again, this is a tool that is time critical (anti-malware) and companies need to have the capability to deploy updates fast. So you have to weigh speed vs reliability.

Ahhh. Slow day for me, thanks for clarifying.

Not sure I understand, how is literally hitler not a hitler?

Ohh so that’s what that means. I see those signs on the stairwells of my office building and wasn’t sure what it actually meant.
