This latest debacle is making my department move from windows to Linux. We were already planning it very slowly but then everything crashed at the same time…and all our other services worked except the ones on windows boxes. We can’t afford downtime so it was decided.

kautau ,

I don’t know how CrowdStrike works on Linux, but it’s worth remembering that if it’s a kernel level driver like it is on windows, and they release a driver that crashes the Linux kernel, there’s a chance for the same thing to happen.

frog_brawler ,

CrowdStrike absolutely fucked Linux in the past.

ramble81 ,

Thank you for mentioning that. I really hate how people on here think Linux is some panacea that will magically solve everything. It too it just another tool that depends on how it’s used. CrowdStrike exists for Linux, and it was crashing systems a few months ago.

The bigger issue is most people who use Linux know what they’re doing. There are a lot of competent Windows Administrators too who didn’t have issues or were able to recover them in a timely manner. What happens though is you have a very large set of people who just need a computer, need is secured and don’t know how to administer or manage it. Doesn’t matter if they’re running Linux, or Windows, they’ll always have the greatest problems. They just happen to use Windows because it offers better Enterprise support options and usability. One day, Linux may be that, but I guarantee it won’t fix all of those pebkac issues.

frog_brawler ,

I mostly agree. As someone that’s worked with both Windows and Linux for over 15 years, I think we need to ask the question of “why do we see so many incompetent admins?”

If you aren’t paying people enough to give a shit about what they are doing, they won’t.

themeatbridge ,

The answer is that companies are unwilling to allocate sufficient budget to infrastructure. So anyone competent leaves either because either there is better pay elsewhere, or they don’t want to be held responsible for the shoestring shitshow that companies are willing to pay for.

kautau ,

Which is sort of the reason crowdstrike is so popular in the first place. Technically inept leaders want to check a “secure” box in their infrastructure presentation to the board, and certainly don’t want to hire an actual cybersecurity team alongside what they already consider to be an expensive IT team. (Granted they can’t do the mental work of realizing that basically every one of their employee uses a computer every day for hours at a time, and connects to vast networks of computers sitting in datacenters). So to save money, and seeing the legally binding contract, they use crowdstrike.

mesamunefire ,

I personally get nervous when any software wants to mess with drivers unless it’s graphic drivers.

For work we don’t plan on using cloud strike. We needed to get everything up asap and the os allowed us to do so quickly. Seemingly unrelated systems and Azure was all down for quite some time.

Karyoplasma , to lemmyshitpost in Windows 11

I get that legacy support sucks and nobody wants to do it, but the new product is just an ad serving platform under the guise of being an OS. Maybe try to release a good Windows platform before asking people zo switch to that, just a thought I had.

But they don't want you to switch to "the new cool stuff". They want you to switch to "the ad serving platform"

Demdaru ,

Every second windows tho. Xp good, Vista bad, 7 good, 8 bad, 10 good, 11 bad…

Angry_Autist ,

And they want 11 to be the last one…

asexualchangeling , (edited )

Can you really say 10 is better than 7, though? 7 maybe better than vista, And 10 better than 8, But I maintain that it’s a downward slope and that the versions keep getting worse overall

Demdaru ,

I…what? Never said 7 was better than 10, nor that quality goes up. Just that every second windows is good.

Angry_Autist ,

To Microsoft, being an automatic ad platform is WHY they consider it better than 10. They have zero incentive to release an OS that doesn’t ad spam or datamine you.

But… The post is already encouraging people to eat meat. Like this post is literally designed to pester people who don’t eat meat, but then the meat eating people got mad anyway

I think you misunderstand the post then.

The post is pointing out the hypocracy that killing an animal for pleasure is generally regarded as wrong, except when it comes to the sense of taste.

It’s very much a pro-vegan post.

Oh, I honestly just assumed the “but bacon tho” title was completely unironic. I still see shit like that all the time

Soku , to foodporn in Duchess Potatoes Inspired Fallafel, with zuccini in chips, leftover sausage and Garlic Dip

I’m curious, where’s the crossover between duchess potato and falafel? Totally different recipes and methods

Reverendender ,

And ingredients

UxyIVrljPeRl OP ,

You are right and Iam sorry. I mixed up not only the recipes but also the name for the potato dish. There is a potato dish where you basically form balls and fry them and i misremembered the Name.

So yeah its basically chickpeas and potato mashed and formed to Balls before air frying, in oil would probably give more taste, but i try to be more healty so no frying for me.

No need to apologise, we all have brain farts sometimes. And akshully, duchess potatoes are baked and so are your balls, so there’s a crossover after all. It’s all looking great!

Needs a “how fast can you move your tongue?” label for the unstable elements.

Is it really that bad to lick something that disappears after nanoseconds?

chuckleslord ,

It doesn’t disappear, it becomes a different element.

jol ,

Well, yeah. I guess it depends on into what they transform.

MajorHavoc ,

Lol. I meant to accomplish the lick, in the first place.

I have no real sense of the likely consequences, other than “probably not great”.

It’s actually very good. I enjoyed it thoroughly

Would one need to have seen the original first?

MrFappy ,

lol there isn’t an original unless you count the Eddie Murphy version, which is not really connected to the muppet one. Besides both being about the haunted mansion.

GlendatheGayWitch ,

It’s not based on the movies, it’s based off the ride itself. You would catch more references having ridden the ride at any of the parks.

grrgyle , to mildlyinteresting in People grab the bars to turn right (direction of the town) resulting in one side being worn

What is this? Pardon, I don’t understand what this is a picture of

khannie OP ,
@khannie@lemmy.world avatar

Oh, sorry. I see them every day so I forget that others don’t have context.

It’s a set of bars designed to stop cars coming up a pedestrian lane and / or slow down bicycles at the intersection. There are two sets of bars so you have to sort of swerve through them.

Typically, as I am walking towards the sea in this picture, I grab the bars to swing right towards the town. I recently noticed that I’m not alone because one side (for folks turning right) is worn down by the friction of those hands grabbing to swing right.

grrgyle ,

Ahhh, totally see it now, thanks!

Johandea ,

Can you, though? Can you lick a gas? Am I licking the atmosphere when I stick my tongue out?

Plenty of them are also so rare that there isn’t enough of them to form any lickable matter; solid, liquid or gaseous.

Some have such an incredibly short half-life, you cannot lick it before it decays into something else.

AcesFullOfKings ,

This really feels like we’re going to descend into an “is water wet”-style debate. Those are always fun.

I think I’d still consider it a lick even if you just contact one atom of a substance to your tongue. You could even fire it at your tongue with the LHC and I’d still be willing to go along with calling that a lick, using the term very loosely.

I’m less sure on the gas, but fuck it, sure, sticking your tongue into a gas can be a lick between friends. Alternately you could condense/freeze it and lick that form, but that might be worse.

There’s no getting away from the idea that it would be very difficult to lick an atom with sub-millisecond half life. Unless… you create it already inside your tongue! I’m sure we could do that somehow. Probably involving magnets.

Pulptastic ,

Yes you can lick a gas. Have you ever tasted a fart?
