I get where you are coming from, but this event is pretty much entirely the fault of Crowdstrike and the countless organizations that trusted them. It's definitely a show of how massive outages are more likely when things are overly centralized and proprietary, and managed by big, shitty, profit driven organizations. Since crowdstrike operates in kernel space, it doesn't matter which operating system it's on, it can break it if it does something stupid. In fact they managed to break some redhat machines not too long ago, and some Debian machines not long before that. It's just the impact wasn't as far reaching as this recent utter fuckup, just because fewer critical machines were affected, so we didn't hear about those smaller fuckups in the news.

I've encountered IT departments with an unencrypted passwords.xlsx file that they store on the network. Not always super small companies too.

How is it that we are the same person

Would switch. Prolly because I'm currently somehow straddling being transfemme and egg. Might depend on the time period though Not keen on being a woman in... most of history. Not really keen on being a man in general though.

Heh no that's the mushroom forager's bible right there, going back many years, it's assigned reading for mycology students and very reputable. It's funny how much it looks ML generated, but it well predates ML image generation. For reference, he's holding a flesh colored mushroom and a trumpet.

There's a decent chunk of google workers who rely on H1B visas, so that's another thing that can remove some agency. I think that the level of coercion and control H1B visas give companies over their workers allow them to do even crazier shit. Part of how Twitter was able to retain some good engineers despite... everything.

I don't know whether that actually applies in this case. But it's not just money tethering people to their jobs.

I have proxmox running on PC in my closet. So far not a ton of things hosted on it:

Current:

  • Minecraft (vanilla) on debian
  • Valheim on debian
  • A debian VM running some tools (namely dynamic DNS)

Planned:

  • Plex!
  • Prolly more game servers

To me that looks like a fairly non-controversial perspective amongst leftists and communists (especially internationally). But that's just my (communist) perspective.
