Without the help from NGI via @nlnet, I don't think I would have had the opportunity to work for a long time bettering the Open Source early boot and Mobile ecosystems like I did.

I don't have the platform I used to have to publish a call to action, but still, do read the following open letter. We need more programs spending more smaller grants to smaller projects to allow them to grow stronger and better.

All of you in Europe, or who may have any way to get closer to direct action, please help them.

Thank you again to the folks at @nlnet, via #NGI for the previous opportunity.

Reaching the final stages of the craft, there are less new features to show. Most of my work this week was sanding and burnishing edges, finishing stitching the feet, moulding them, hardening the inside and I got to gloss the "alive" parts (eyes and tongue). WE ARE ALMOST THERE!

So does CrowdStrike actually have any security value or is it just some dumb corporate compliance thing

they say that the hardest problems in computer science are something about naming and caches.

they are wrong. the hardest problems in computer science are batshit managers and the resulting burnout.

the saddest part of today? lots of lawyers are getting contacted for lawsuits against ClownStrike, but they can't take the cases because their computers aren't working either ;_;

Someone here have use for some rented (dedicated hardware) servers with a 2TB drive each?
I just migrated my stuff off one of them and could let you play around with it if you wanted to learn about servers 'n stuff, or had some data to store temporarily.
I could set it to just auto-expire or whatever and hand you some credentials (although I can't give you access to the hoster interface so if you break it you'll need to message me to boot it into rescue, however I know it's fiddly bits so I can tell you everything you need to know about network configuration and how to make it boot, like how it doesn't do UEFI and needs BIOS booting).

(I also wouldn't mind paying for an extra month or two, those servers cost me like 15 bucks a month which doesn't hurt me that much tbh).

Hey fellow #Linux users, despite the #CrowdStrike problem only affecting #Windows, this is not a windows problem.

This is an "automatic update that got forced onto everyone with insufficient testing while also having way too many permissions" problem.

If you think big corps wouldn't run something similar on Linux, I have a an NFT of a bridge to sell you.

Roommate Alex just came over to tell me that his job has been thrown back into the dark ages and S-bucks corporate has told everyone to just give away free coffee untill they can fix it. (They can't fix it)

This sounds like today's gonna be white lady caffeine withdrawal meltdown city, which is terrible, but I'm cackling. God what a nightmare.

All hail the General Cloud Strike

You heard the boss, we gotta write a server fix from scratch

Ever since I met two very nice clowns on fedi I cannot use the word to disparage anything or anybody. Clowns are cool.

Hi good people! hope you all don't mind me asking, but blacktwitter.io server needs some financial support! I've made this spreadsheet to share the revenue/costs transparently.
