"Linux would have prevented this!" literally true because my former colleague KP Singh wrote a kernel security module that lets EDR implementations load ebpf into the kernel to monitor and act on security hooks and Crowdstrike now uses that rather than requiring its own kernel module that would otherwise absolutely have allowed this to happen, so everyone please say thank you to him
My go-to is somewhat basic: just add almond butter.
cook a serving of oatmeal with 50% diluted almond milk and a tablespoon or two of almond butter. Optionally add a sweetener of your choice (I wanna try chicory root extract to add more fiber). The almond butter should double the protein and make it really nice and thick, and keep the oats from getting too mushy and runny.
wondering how to improve this once i get my hands on chicory root extract.
How exciting. I recognized all but two of the songs in Weird Al's latest video. I guess I'm not quite old and uncool yet, or something. youtu.be/y0ZoX4dBvwk

I also recognized most of the songs. But also, I'm pretty sure most of the songs were pre-2020; he was making up for the several years that he didn't put out a polka medley (except for the Hamilton polka).
I understand gallows humor, probably better than average. But I’m disappointed at some of the absolute glee I’ve witnessed at the CrowdStrike thing
This wasn’t “the internet was off for a bit”, this was an issue that put people’s lives and health at risk. Glee at the suffering of others is not a good look, and I’m kind of angry about it.
the amount of ppl blaming the crowdstrike shit on windows is weird ... any OS will fucking break horribly if you run illegal instructions in the kernel

I have a my normal SIM and an eSIM for data in my phone. It turns out that Airalo partners with Softbank while Telus partners with Softbank so both radios on the same phone are connected to the same network but one will charge usurious fees if it's used while the other is fine.
Channel 4 News, in talking about today's #Microsoft #CrowdStrike fuckup, stated that the expected Y2K effect was imaginary.
No! No! NO!
We* did a massive amount of work to update and ensure systems would keep on working. And more importantly WE TESTED EVERYTHING FULLY BEFORE GOING LIVE.

Remember this, and all the outrage in the West at Putin's tyranny, and his authoritarian Russian state?
And yet today in the UK five people who on Zoom call discussed blocking a motorway for a few hours, were sent to jail for more than double this sentence.
Wow, #Element (the flagship #Matrix client) dropped support for #Firefox ESR in release 1.11.70. Or rather, they never supported it in the first place, only supporting "last two versions". The change causes a corrupted session for ESR users, and can't be reverted to fix it.
(Note that all Debian Stable users, by default, run Firefox ESR. This is kind of a big deal. ESR is always up to date on security, and gets new features once per year.)
Your use case It seems (given the discussion in #27682, unless the person in charge of support there) that Firefox ESR isn't supported. Given it has a large user base (enterprise, Debian stable and...
This demonstrates a thing that I’m sure serious security pros (and their adversaries) have long known: These Windows security products are a highly attractive attack surface for serious professional Bad Guys. They run in God mode and are typically purchased by IT-management types via the “enterprise software sales” process. (Think: golf.)
I wonder how many of them are already deeply compromised? I am certain that the number is not zero. #Crowdstrike #Windows #infosec
Another look into Avast Secure Browser shows a massive attack surface, with some issues mentioned five years ago only partially addressed, all while new ways to attack the browser have been added.
Mozilla: We can sync your bookmarks, passwords, payment information, history, open tabs, and addresses!
Me: Great, could you sync my toolbar customizations so I don't have to re-add the home button and remove the annoying spacers every time I install Firefox?
While not exactly the same, remember that what is happening with #CrowdStrike could also easily happen with kernel level #anticheat software. Giving proprietary software vendors permission to insert whatever they please into your kernel, especially with the ability to auto update it, means giving up all control of your system to that software vendor. One day CrowdStrike, the next Riot Vanguard. Don't let this garbage into your system! A game is not worth losing your system or your data over.

Folks laughing because this is happening to Windows… top comment on HN says this happened to Linux systems using Crowdstrike in April: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4… just didn’t have the widespread impact.
Never mock competitors or whatever over this kind of thing: everybody gets their turn in the barrel.
The ICJ ruled in short, Israel is: an Apartheid state occupying Gaza illegally annexing the West Bank &EJ violating self-determination
This is illegal, so it must: end the occupation fully repair/compensate Palestinians, including through right of return & dismantelling settlements
on Apartheid: "Measures to accomplish separation between settlers & Palestinians CONSTITUTE BREACH OF ART. 3 of Convention on Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination" #freepalestinewebtv.un.org/en/asset/k13/k136…
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) delivers its Advisory Opinion in respect of the Legal Consequences arising from the Policies and Practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem.
Israel has an obligation to cease all new settlement activity, repeal all legislation creating discrimination, all measures aimed at modifying demographics of territory, provide full reparation (restitution, compensation &/or satisfaction)
Restitution: return the land, assets, cultural property. Evacuation and dismantelling of all settlers and allow return of Palestinians If the Restitution is impossible, Israel must compensate all natural or legal persons having suffered damage #freepalestine
I keep reading comments talking about "CloudStrike". It's CrowdStrike. I think people are confusing it with CloudFlare. That said, CloudStrike is a way cooler name.
@asael Нет, вряд ли. Это была очень… специфичная дама, депутат украинского парламента, которая, в частности, ратовала за чистоту украинского языка и довольно много сделала в этой области.
Это я знаю, поэтому и не понимаю, как можно ратовать за чистоту языка? Все пуристы, на самом деле не правы. Что русские, что хорватские, что украинские.
@asael Oh goodness, Eloquence strikes again. I thought you two were sending question marks for each other. Then I opened the post and saw what I guess are Unicode characters that Eloquence can't read.

This (mostly) isn't servers, but things like checkin kiosks, computers in hospitals, self-checkout screens, large displays that show departing flights etc.
A vast majority of those have historically been running on Windows, as they're essentially computers with a GUI, but running one specific app, and Windows GUI development and system administration is just what people had experience with. You could do Linux for sure, but desktop Linux is notoriously brittle.
New appliances like these aren't always Windows any more, some places use Android, some places use Linux, some places even do iPads, there's a much wider variety, but there's still plenty of Windows left.
Wow, I guess RHVoice would be a mega boost after Samsung TTS. I'm sorry, couldn't you use something… better? What device do you need it for? If Android, you have Vocalizer and probably Acapela, but I'm not sure for the latter.
