- doubled112 2y agoWhen I managed ~ 15 developer’s Arch Linux workstations, I found it very beneficial to be the canary, and then rollout to a couple of the more capable of troubleshooting devs, and then the rest. I can always fix my own box. 8.5M all at once feels insane.

- mort96 2y agoNot relevant!
- notepad0x90 2y agodetails are always relevant in a technical discussion. look at my other comments where i pointed out microsoft performing similar immediate av signature updates and causing chaos.
- mort96 2y agoSome details are relevant, some are not. I'm more than comfortable labelling parts of Microsoft as incompetent as well.
- notepad0x90 2y agoWe can agree on that, but it is relevant because this isn't an unusual practice. Crowdstrike didn't ignore some pre-existing best practice. Lots of things need improving but facts and details matter when you talk about RCA. it isn't about blame but fixing the root cause.
- mort96 2y agoDeploying an update to 8.5 million devices without doing any form of staged roll-outs, not even just updating a few machines in the office first, is absolutely bonkers. If that's not an unusual practice it bloody should be. I don't care if it's a software update or a config update.
