Fuck Putin. Russia will have its comeuppance.

Slava Ukraini.

That’s pretty wild; never seen this one before. Thanks for sharing!

It’s not like fires in California are a new phenomenon. The first one wasn’t their fault, sure. The second has shown them the risk and frequency of fires in the area they live. If they rebuild there again then yes, the consequences of any more fire damage or loss of property are completely their fault.

Perhaps the next house they won’t build in a fire-prone area. But I doubt it.

Delta was the only airline to suffer a long outage. That’s why I say Crowdstrike is the kickoff, but the poor, drawn-out response and time to resolve it is totally on Delta.

There was no easy automated way if the systems were encrypted, which any sane organization mandates. So yes, did require hands-on-keyboard. But all the other airlines were up and running much faster, and they all had to perform the same fix.

Basically, in macOS terms, the OS fails to boot, so every system just goes to recovery only, and you need to manually enter the recovery lock and encryption password on every system to delete a file out of /System (which isn’t allowed in macOS because it’s read only but just go with it) before it will boot back into macOS. Hope you had those recorded/managed/backed up somewhere otherwise it’s a complete system reinstall…

So yeah, not fun for anyone involved.

Pretty sure their software’s legal agreement, and the corresponding enterprise legal agreement, already cover this.

The update was the first domino, but the real issue was the disarray of Delta’s IT Operations and their inability to adequately recover in a timely fashion. Sounds like a customer skimping on their lifecycle and capacity planning so that Ed can get just a bit bigger bonus for meeting his budget numbers.

I have them in my young kids’ rooms but it’s mostly just to make sure they’re in bed and not screwing around. Once they get a bit older, they’ll be removed. I don’t know how you’d justify a camera in a 12 year old’s room without very explicit needs and communication.

Tell me you’ve never administered at scale without telling me you’ve never administered at scale.

Love to see Zelenskyy pull an Indiana Jones and/or Ip Man on his ass.

Pieces of shit allow piece of shit law to remain in effect to appease other pieces of shit. Film at 11.

Here’s looking at you, kid, you piece of shit

But if they open that book and actually read and understand it, how will all the churches that warp that message make money and further spread their hatred and discrimination? Won’t someone please think of these super important churches and their totally-not-coincidentally wealthy pastors? (/s in case it wasn’t obvious)
