TrickDacy , to linuxmemes in What's going on y'all?

I’ve found it funny how many people think they need to defend windows by saying " this could’ve happened to Linux too!!"

Okay, sure. Yeah you’re right about Linux being just as insecure as windows too 😉

PainInTheAES ,

Something similar did happen on Linux clients with CrowdStrike installed not too long ago lol

MartianFox ,

Sounds a bit like its a bad idea to install CrowdStrike regardless of the system 🙃

jaybone ,

lol yeah that’s a glowing review.

“Oh, we can fuck other shit up too!”

TrickDacy ,

Anything to defend windows

madcaesar ,

Noone needs to defend Windows. We need to defend the truth. And the truth is that this was not a Windows issue. It’s a Crowdstrike issue.

TrickDacy ,

Windows being an insecure shit show is no one else’s fault though. Not sure why that draws an argument. It’s well known

madcaesar ,

True. But nothing to do with this incident. That’s the point.

TrickDacy ,

Everything to do with it. You don’t buy expensive software to protect your shitty OS unless it’s a shitty OS

madcaesar ,

Linux had a similar outage a few weeks ago, my man.

TrickDacy ,

And yet I heard zero peeps about it. Probably because 99% of IT departments know windows is vulnerable as fuck while 99% know that Linux doesn’t need babysitting.

“It’s technically possible for other OSes to be affected by a thing like this” is a shit argument and you should get the MS dick out of your mouth.

checkbox compliance – companies are required to have something in place that checks the box so they can pass the audit

sntx ,

If you’re lucky, you only gave to have the software installed - but not running.

TrickDacy ,

To those many Linux users who took a look at their circumstances and said “I definitely need antivirus software!”

PainInTheAES ,

CrowdStrike does more than anti-virus and yes enterprise Linux installations need a lot of security controls that average Linux users don’t need.

TrickDacy ,

Ok fine simps, Linux is exactly as shitty as windows this was totally only a coincidence

PainInTheAES ,

Bruh, I’ve used Linux for over 10 years. I run Arch on my laptop and have a homelab powered by Proxmox, Debian, and OPNSense. I don’t run any AV in my lab but do follow other security practices.

At work it’s a different story. Products like CrowdStrike also collect logs, scan for vulnerabilities, provide graphing and dashboarding capabilities, provide integrations into ticketing platforms for investigation and remediation by security teams, and more. AV is often required because Windows users can upload infected files to Linux-run SMB shares. Products like CrowdStrike often satisfy requirements set by cybersecurity insurance.

This is not simping, this is not Linux vs Windows. You just clearly have no experience in the enterprise Linux space and business security requirements.

TrickDacy , (edited )

I don’t need to argue about windows vs Linux. You’re overcomplicating and misinterpreting my point and it’s no longer worth it to me because you clearly are prioritizing defense

Edit: let’s see if we can get to 100 downvotes here. I mean this shit is just so offensive right?

proton_lynx ,

I think people are missing the point here. The biggest problem was not that the update was bricking the machines, that could’ve happened to Linux/macOS/BSD etc. The problem is that the solution to the problem is to MANUALLY access the machine, get into safe mode and type some commands. This is insane. And you should be able to EASILY disable automatic updates for apps like that on Windows Server.

Buddahriffic ,

I dunno, I’d say them deploying an update that bricked machines at the scale they did shows they didn’t test it very well at smaller scales. They could have even still used their users as beta testers, just needed to do a subset of them first.

kelargo ,

Crowdstrike exists for Linux. Are their reports their update affected Linux servers? I have not read that anywhere.

Psythik ,

Yeah but 14th Gen Intel CPUs are still failing regardless of your OS.

TrickDacy ,

Proudly an AMD user for 25 years now :)

veni_vedi_veni ,

Even bulldozer?

Psythik ,

Nobody but the most hardcore AMD enthusiasts used Bulldozer. The 2010s was a tough decade for AMD, to say the least. It wasn’t until AM5 came out that I finally switched back to Team Red. Got too used to LGA sockets.

twei ,

I still don’t know why they thought sticking with PGA was a good idea… The amount of processors that were ripped out of their sockets is insane

TrickDacy ,

not familiar. Their processors tend to last me ~5 years so it’s not like I bought every model available

PhlubbaDubba , to lemmyshitpost in It just does.

For confused folks, no this is not how Canadians package their peanut butter, although yes the milk bags are real, IIRC this is actually a thing that happens in the Carribbean for locally packaged peanut butter because it’s cheaper than the jars are in the US and Canada.

RedditWanderer ,

I was thinking this is either some shitty store unpackaging and repackaging peanut butter, or it’s made locally.

In this timeline you just never know.

Simulation6 ,

I have seen it sold like this in a Krogars in Tennessee.

That spreadable Kerrygold is just unnecessary. Especially if it’s warm out. Whatever they’ve done to it it must just be worse than the regular Kerrygold.

I like how it abruptly switches from bible verses to various legal texts, all presented with no excerpts or citations. Is the entire book meant to serve as evidence?

Oh, this is handy, I specifically avoid these guys.

Not for ethical reasons or anything, just I had these weird frozen meatballs from them when I was like 7 and nearly vomited myself to death in a holiday caravan’s bedroom before collapsing unable to move for an hour, conscious the entire time and simply unable to make my body respond. 1/10, not reccommended.

BilboTBaggin ,

Wait, they make meatballs? I thought it was just ice cream

mumblerfish ,

I guess they mean unilever? That is the company that owns that brand at least, iirc.

PoopBuffet ,

Just looked it up because I too was unsure of this. There is a Wall’s meats, but they are no longer related. Unilever owns Wall’s ice cream but they sold off Wall’s meats in 1994. The logos are different and the meats one only operates in the UK. So this map is useless for avoiding dodgy meatballs.

BilboTBaggin ,

Bless you for doing the leg work <3

Here I am wondering why there is still a downvote button in the YouTube comments… it does nothing!

Poob ,

The same reason that a lot of crosswalks have fake buttons. So you feel like you have control.

faladorable ,

and why elevators have non functioning close buttons

Iridium ,

Some elevators.

All the ones near me have fully functional close buttons.

intensely_human ,

While simultaneously undermining your sense of trust in the world

BeegYoshi ,

Actually it’s worse than nothing. Youtube promotes comments based on engagement, so while only an upvote increases the tally, voting at all still makes it more visible.

Dorkyd68 , to insanepeoplefacebook in Assortment of batshit sovcit questions.

“i” am dumber for having read this

Etterra ,

I just glazed past it and saw Europe and UK several times in there. That shit doesn’t have anything to do with America so I don’t know what’s going on here. I mean the Bible nonsense I get, but that’s standard issue crazy.

Wall’s Ice Cream. Good Humor in the US.

lars ,

Thank you. And wow.

Etterra ,

I can’t remember ever having Good Humor (branded) that didn’t come off of an ice cream truck back when I was a kid.

Etterra , to lemmyshitpost in TIL the clearest photo ever of the Kuiper belt was taken in 1964.
