 Ah yes, let's ship a kernel driver that parses update files that are pushed globally simultaneously to millions of users without progressive staging, and let's write it in a memory unsafe language so it crashes if an update is malformed, and let's have no automated boot recovery mechanism to disable things after a few failed boots. What could possibly go wrong? 🤦♂️ > Russia slowing down YouTube to unbearable speeds I hate the modern internet. It's either a website blocked by a country, you are blocked by a website, or both. I'm also very tired of spending hours of my life to solve captchas.

  @inex I remember one talk about countries blocking websites and websites blocking countries. robot girl who beeps at 8am (she loves boops and headpats so she acts as an alarm) apparently, Bringus Studios got contacted by Carrot_c4ke, who found an exploit to get commandline access on an Xbox, just proving that these things do, in fact, run Windows, as we all thought a long time ago. when steam on xbox https://www.youtube.com/live/Z54Q43SfPXs Every so often some Linux guy replies to me saying ‘no critical infrastructure runs Windows’, so I just gotta say, today is education for you.

  Correction: no critical infrastructure *should* run windows. But this once isn’t actually a windows problem, just a problem that happened to be on windows. TLA is unaffected by the world-disrupting software update, our Admins believe this to be a "skill issue"
Don't push to prod on a Friday To be safe, don't push to prod on a Thursday night. Really, someone might be off so don't push on Thursday. Consider not pushing to prod on Weds, as that's when everyone is running their security scans. Don't push to prod on Tuesday for reasons I can't yet think of. Don't push to prod on Monday, you're still getting over the weekend. Consider just not pushing to prod.

 i lost 1.2TB of data because snapd auto-updated docker, and the shutdown took so long that systemd sent SIGKILL to the database container process this happened outside of my control, at around 3 AM in a night there is no mechanism to stop auto-updates. :3 |

@marcan brb. Need to add a few topics in my personal Jira.
@marcan Well it's a nice stunt. I mean nobody would ever use "endpoint security" software on an important system. That would be ridiculous and a clear breach of, for example, the contract rules of Crowdstrike.
@marcan rust in kernel wasn't available when this thing was written. And you just don't go rewrite stuff for the fun of it.
Not to defend them for whatever errors happened in the qa proces, but hindsight 20/20 here.
