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 members of the community for any reason.
  • 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.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 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, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    CrowdStrike effectively bricked windows, Mac and Linux today.

    Windows machines won’t boot, and Mac and Linux work is abandoned because all their users are on twitter making memes.

    Incredible work.

    Probably would have been worse if this was on Linux. That's like 90% of the internet.

    Good thing is the kind of people making decisions based on buzzword-bongo filled PR campaigns like Crowdstrike's are already forcing their IT to use Windows anyway.

    It was a serious ask to install it from auditors that don't know what the fuck they are doing. On all ec2 machines for "reasons" I'm sure there are companies out there pushed into doing this because they don't have people willing to die on those hills.

    Oddly, one of CrowdStrike's selling point is that it provides pretty good EDR for Linux and Mac. If you want crap EDR, which pushes you towards Windows, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is the ticket.

    I'm sure the three people that use Linux and Crowdstrike together would have been very upset. 🤣

    Yes and no. Linux is inherently more diverse. All the different distros doing things in different ways, sometimes with different components. It's not as much of a monoculture as Windows. There isn't a Linux that 90% is.

    Not only that, with Linux you can/have to manually update. Which means I hear the news before running the update

    Mmm depends. I have some automatic updates on my servers: https://wiki.debian.org/UnattendedUpgrades
