All our servers and company laptops went down at pretty much the same time. Laptops have been bootlooping to blue screen of death. It’s all very exciting, personally, as someone not responsible for fixing it.

Apparently caused by a bad CrowdStrike update.

Edit: now being told we (who almost all generally work from home) need to come into the office Monday as they can only apply the fix in-person. We’ll see if that changes over the weekend…

    You kinda went off the rails, there.

    It’s fun to dunk on the closed source stuff, but this is a release engineering thing that isn’t the fault of a software license.

    Render unto Caesar, dude.

    It’s a nice rant, but it also combined government regulation and monocultures and indolence. You should cut that up into several different rants, bringing out the proper one in a more focused spiel for a timely and dramatic win. The lack of cohesion also means you’re taking longer to get the rant out, and if it’s too long to hold focus you’ll reduce your points awarded for the dunk.

    Otherwise, lots of street-preacher potential. Solid effort.
