Ooof!

My boss called me at 4:20 this morning asking me if I could go in to work to make sure everything was running OK. There were already people here in my building when I got here, and all the important stuff was running fine. I'll stay another 45 minutes or so, then I've got a free day off for my troubles.

Yet another example of why tossing all your eggs into that cloud basket can be very risky. The only systems affected for us were our hosted solutions. Everything onprem was good.

American, United and Delta have grounded flights.

We have a team trying to help some agencies with this.  CrowdStrike pushed an update that is causing blue screens.....   on a call with thier tech support, listening in.

I hate the cloud.

I dealt w about 8 random BSODs yesterday.  I was up until 2am waiting for a memory scan to finish as I knew IT help desk would probably do that first thing.

I was relieved to wake up to the news that Crowdstrike focked up, as those dipshi1ts are part of the corporate image on our laptops.

So what's the difference between an evil computer virus taking down systems globally and an anti-virus software company taking down systems globally with a "bad update"?

Same for us.  On prem is fine but some of the stuff that we rely on outside vendors for was impacted.

Me too.  And it's more expensive.  I don't get it.  Of course, I have a rack in my basement and host all my own sh*t so I may be a little biased.

Thankfully the hamsters that keep this sh1t hole up and running don't use Crowdstrike

My servers are all on premise, even the VMware fiasco will not change my mind.

We had a crew get stuck in Atlanta. They were able to rent a box van and are driving back now.

Crowdstrike issues, not Microsoft.

My Company sent an email and text early this morning that stated: 

currently experiencing technical difficulties due to a global outage impacting certain Microsoft Services.
