Yup. So go out there and make the world a smarter place by asking about things you don’t know about. Just don’t use this as a license to be a JAQ-off

You joke, but probably. That’s how you get people producing the sorts of propaganda that works best for conservatives. Its not about anything, its about how just checking out and going along with it is fine.

No its not running on all Linux machines. Just like its not running on all wondows machines. But the companies who employ it on their employees laptops also run it on their servers. Crowd strike has easily deployed .debs, .rpms, and .tar.gzs, as well as golden images with it already installed. What we experienced yesterday was the minor version of this catastrophe. If the Linux push had been bad, decent chance it would have taken down major internet structure including the DNS servers you typically use to resolve internet addresses. It would seem to a large number of users that the entire internet was down

Just a little bit of a correction. Crowd strike publishes agents for Windows, Linux, and MacOS. Its just the particular broken agent is for Windows. They had a 1/3 chance of taking down any one of their three client bases

Let’s ignore that it was an American company taking down EVERYONE’S stuff, I guess

Push that into the technical debt. Then afterwards never pay off the technical debt

By a wide margin
