It didn't
I was camping without cell service.
Came back to news of a massive IT outage and Biden dropping out, pretty wild how much can happen when you're off the grid
Holy crap, same here! Came back to service and phone blew up with all the news.
In my experience the opposite happens more often, you expect at least some major news but nothing of note happened and you have no notifications from people trying to get ahold of you etc. so you just feel weirdly empty because you spend so much time and effort keeping up with the world, friends and family normally.
Fridays are my cheat day. All week long I look forward to getting a big ole breakfast burrito at a local restaurant. I pull in that morning and there’s a “cash only” sign. Well I don’t have any cash on me. Ruined my damn morning.
great lesson why you have some cash on you, like enough to fill up your gas tank.
Yes it was a good reminder for me. I usually always carry cash for this reason, but I had spent my cash and was lazy about making the time to swing by the bank for more. I did do that later that day and am back to carrying cash on me.
What kind of breakfast burrito?
It’s called the big omelette burrito with brisket. It’s a big omelet, 3 eggs, cheese, meat of your choice (I go with brisket) pico de gallo, refried beans. It’s amazing. It also serves as my lunch because it’s huge.
Dear lord, that sounds incredible. I assume it feeds 3 adults
Multiple 15-hour days, working from 5 AM to 8 PM. I work in healthcare, so it was essential to get most of these servers back online as soon as possible
Mostly just ruined social media for a few weeks :)
entertainment.
Vindicated
I work with CNC machines, and those were unaffected. But the measuring devices we use to double - check tolerances and record the fact that our parts are good went down. The computer that tracks the number of good parts and scraps for the day were also down.
So, we kept running and did more manual checks with micrometers and gages. Work slowed slightly, and record keeping had to be on paper for a while and entered manually on Monday.
Also we couldn't clock in that day, the time tracking computer was also down. So a head count was taken and also entered into eh computer once it got running
Since I run Arch I was totally fine with it. I run Arch BTW.
Was flying back from Tokyo, heard about the outage when i landed in Bangkok. Luckily i kept my paper tickets and had no issues transferring. Probably would've been stuck there for a while if i wasn't in the habit of hoarding receipts.
Got to sit around and play video games for half a day until someone from IT called and was like "yeah we need to walk you through the work around."
It only affected our time clock system. So we just used paper timecards for a week while IT worked on getting it back up.
Professionally, not at all. My company doesn't use Crowdstrike. Unlike one of my former employers who had thousands of systems down for days. The Field techs there made a killing in overtime.
Personally: My (54m) oldest kid (17m) was stuck at Laguardia for 10 hours. Fortunately, a great gate agent at LGA got him on a flight that evening, with a first class upgrade, to get him into an airport about 1.5 hour drive from the house. I picked him up at midnight and home by 1:30.
We weren't able to send work orders to maintenance for a day. We sent it the next day.
I was devastated.
crowdstrike? did i miss something?
Yeah just look it up. Half the internet was down, basically.
it was a joke
i use linux btw
Some of my clients weren't operational and it gave me a lighter day to catch up on other tasks.
Most were ready to continue on Tuesday, but delays on their end pushed them back a week in most cases. They didn't like hearing that I was pushing delivery back a week because their delays cause my delays, but thems the ropes.
That's about it, I don't use crowdstrike, my employer doesn't use crowdstrike, and it mostly meant nothing to me.
It didn’t at all. I refuse to run Microsoft products at home and in the cloud. At work I learned some Postgres database servers are running inside virtualized Linux on Windows hosts, which is kind of disgusting.
