That’s what the cops use when they are too impatient waiting for you to open your door. Where do people get the idea it’s for digging post holes?

moncharleskey ,

Just in case you’re serious, this is in fact a tool for driving metal fence posts like round posts for a chain link fence or t posts for a garden/cattle fence. You slide it over the post and drive it down to hammer in the post. Way easier and safer than using a sledge.

Hikermick ,

Huh TIL. I’ve put up many posts, used post hole diggers and augers of various kinds. Never saw anything like this. The soil where I live has lots of clay, this device looks futile

kitnaht ,

Its used with metal fence posts. Like these: i.imgur.com/pBwLMzL.png

Hikermick ,

Ah that explains it thanks. I always used a mallet on those

sinkingship , to lemmyshitpost in Bet y'all are very familiar with this

I actually thought this was a police tool for breaking in doors.

So according to comments it’s a post driver. So far I dug holes and put my poles in. This tool seems practical for soft soil, but what do you do when living somewhere with rocky soil or with dry clay soil?

DasAlbatross ,

We have dry clay soil. You put on hearing protection and whack the shit out of the t-post with this bad boy.

sinkingship ,

Ah thanks! So you use thin metal posts. I still use self cut wood like a caveman and whack the shit out of other things.

DasAlbatross ,

Yeah, i wouldn’t use one of these to drive in the wooden posts. We still need them every once in a while for stability.

Etterra ,

Wouldn’t it be easier to just rent an auger?

HelixDab2 ,

If you’re putting in t-posts, an auger is going to end up making a really big hole. An auger would be more appropriate, IMO, for a wooden post.

Sam_Bass ,

Fill it with concrete and it might do in a pinch

Hugin ,

For hard soil you use a different tool. It’s similar to how you have saws for wood and saws for metal.

When you fill the tube with cement it gets the nickname “Redneck Lockpick”.

JovialMicrobial ,

I’ve used one to put those skinny metal posts in that have wings on the bottom part to make it hard to rip them back out. A post hole digger is usually used for large wooden posts.

callouscomic , to lemmyshitpost in Bet y'all are very familiar with this

Post if you want, but you’ll be digging yourself a hole.

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

Nice one

ThrowawayPermanente , to insanepeoplefacebook in I think this is the craziest sovcit so far because he wants the pope to sign whatever this is.

What a dumbass, he actually needs it signed by Pepe.

jj4211 , to linuxmemes in What's going on y'all?

Nothing much, just getting far fewer client emails for some reason…

Elextra , to insanepeoplefacebook in Sovcit went to the bank.

I always wonder where and how these crazy sovcits are after all this time. October 2023 is quite a long time ago. Like I wonder if they’re homeless, if they ever got back on their feet after everything they do fails.

I’m guessing Ernie would be out of a job and a few presses would get burnt down.

In terms of area, aren’t the size of the various American grids roughly the same size as the ones that comprise the individual countries in Europe?

Alpha71 , to workreform in Never believe the hype.

Sadly, I won’t be eating there much anymore, as they have discontinued the 2 for 1 deal they used to have on whoppers. It was pretty much the only reason I went there anymore.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I tried their Impossible Whopper once hoping it would entice me to go there, but it was so ridiculously salty that I never went back. Also, their fries have always sucked.

5redie8 ,

Yeah they’re hit or miss, but you gotta trust me when it’s good it’s GOOD. Those things are a godsend

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Looks like they’re over $6 today. Way too much for a hit-or-miss item. It sucks because I really want fast food places to offer more plant-based options. The Subway veggie patty used to be pretty good, but I haven’t had it in quite some time.

5redie8 ,

Ugh tell me about it, it’s like $12 for the combo. Don’t get it nearly as much as I used to.

That veggie patty is absolutely incredible but this is the first time I’ve ever seen anyone else mention it! No matter which subway I order it from it seems like there’s a 50/50 shot of them actually having it, I guess it’s not popular enough for anyone to notice :( Always gives me a post lunch crash for the ages tho hahaha

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, most people don’t know it exists and sometimes Subway employees get confused if you ask for it, but it’s surprisingly good for a veggie patty. Better than stuff like Morningstar Farms or Boca burgers.
