2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    Something similar did happen on Linux clients with CrowdStrike installed not too long ago lol

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    To those many Linux users who took a look at their circumstances and said "I definitely need antivirus software!"

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    CrowdStrike does more than anti-virus and yes enterprise Linux installations need a lot of security controls that average Linux users don't need.

    Ok fine simps, Linux is exactly as shitty as windows this was totally only a coincidence

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Bruh, I've used Linux for over 10 years. I run Arch on my laptop and have a homelab powered by Proxmox, Debian, and OPNSense. I don't run any AV in my lab but do follow other security practices.

    At work it's a different story. Products like CrowdStrike also collect logs, scan for vulnerabilities, provide graphing and dashboarding capabilities, provide integrations into ticketing platforms for investigation and remediation by security teams, and more. AV is often required because Windows users can upload infected files to Linux-run SMB shares. Products like CrowdStrike often satisfy requirements set by cybersecurity insurance.

    This is not simping, this is not Linux vs Windows. You just clearly have no experience in the enterprise Linux space and business security requirements.

    I don't need to argue about windows vs Linux. You're overcomplicating and misinterpreting my point and it's no longer worth it to me because you clearly are prioritizing defense

    Edit: let's see if we can get to 100 downvotes here. I mean this shit is just so offensive right?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

    Sounds a bit like its a bad idea to install CrowdStrike regardless of the system πŸ™ƒ

    checkbox compliance – companies are required to have something in place that checks the box so they can pass the audit

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    lol yeah that’s a glowing review.

    β€œOh, we can fuck other shit up too!”

    Anything to defend windows

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Noone needs to defend Windows. We need to defend the truth. And the truth is that this was not a Windows issue. It's a Crowdstrike issue.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Windows being an insecure shit show is no one else's fault though. Not sure why that draws an argument. It's well known

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    True. But nothing to do with this incident. That's the point.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Everything to do with it. You don't buy expensive software to protect your shitty OS unless it's a shitty OS

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Linux had a similar outage a few weeks ago, my man.

    [–] [email protected] -2 points 9 months ago

    And yet I heard zero peeps about it. Probably because 99% of IT departments know windows is vulnerable as fuck while 99% know that Linux doesn't need babysitting.

    "It's technically possible for other OSes to be affected by a thing like this" is a shit argument and you should get the MS dick out of your mouth.
