How did you’ll cope with crowd strike issue?

[bartosimpsonio]

I use mac and linux. Had a laugh about this stupid bug.

“dodgy channel files”… wtf?

Exactly. Mac and Linux only. Temporary Windows VPS for tools, can be nuked and reinstalled in minutes.

Sara will pay for ignorance. One skill isn't enough to thrive. Lesson learned.

I don't think she will she will probably get a rich husband and then live happily without any worries. wish I could be Sara

ignorance is bliss my guy

How did I cope? I sent a support ticket to Jim from IT. It’s his headache now

and that's how things should be

No. Extra security + custom solutions + customized Windows + WSL. Triple power. High risk, but who risks, gets things done, right.

Desktop + cryogenics = power. Small computers like macs are good to browse videos at mcdonald's and do research.

Linux? I don't know why would anyone install Windows in a virtual machine, when they can install Windows and Linux can be WSL. I see no reason other than emotions.

One other wild reason could be that they have a life

Yeah I think windows machines are only useful for two things - Gaming (this is gonna change very soon!) and SEO softwares lol.

Sysadmin (a typical linux user) has a life? I think there's some misconception.

Imagine being so weird that you cannot do double click to start a program. Hahaha

Windows is excellent for marketing and sales, but you don't do that and instead you picked up a job as a programmer.

If you're not a content creator, you probably can't understand.

I can understand why would a programmer say that, but anyone else, it'd probably indicate there is something wrong with their reasoning.

Dude just say it… I can’t afford a Mac. It’s not that difficult. And there’s no shame in saying it either.

What is hilarious are the excuses Lenovo and OneNote guys come up to shoot down Apple stuff just so they don’t have to say these five simple words.

The sad part is that only Mac and Windows are suitable for content creation and shockingly Windows wins with mac on many levels.

Well, apart from that, Mac is better for programmers who on average make less money than marketers if they reach good level.

Marketers are billionaires. Programmers are somewhere around average pay.

Marketers control the market, not programmers. Problem solving is more important than some silly commands. You can write your own macOs if you want. What's the point of that consumption... I have 4 computers and so what. I could sell all that, replace to 5 MacOS systems. None of that would benefit me. Emotional decisions are all around. Just be wise.

As far as I know this is just a windows issue

Not really the same company did fuckup something for Linux few months back but nobody noticed

So let's see why switch to Linux instead of using Windows command line. I have a list prepared and maybe some person will be tricked into installing that suspicious system.

Linux is like the ultimate Lego set for your OS, you feel me? Here's the deal:

1. Desktop Environments: You got choices for days. GNOME, KDE, Xfce, i3, Awesome WM - pick your flavor or mix 'em up.
2. Hotkeys: Bind ANY action to ANY key combo. Your workflow, your rules.
3. Scripts: Automate EVERYTHING. Bash, Python, whatever. Make your system work for you.
4. Package Managers: Install, update, remove software with a single command. No clickety-click BS.
5. Config files: Tweak every little setting. Your OS, your way, down to the pixel.
6. Lightweight options: Make that old hardware sing. More life = more hustle time.
7. Tiling Window Managers: i3, bspwm, dwm. These bad boys automatically organize your windows. No more wasting time dragging and resizing. Instant productivity boost.
8. Terminal customization: zsh, fish, oh-my-zsh. Pimp out your command line with autocompletions, syntax highlighting, and themes. Look cool while you code.
9. Ricing: r/unixporn is calling. Make your desktop look sick AF while optimizing it. Who said productivity can't be stylish?
10. Custom kernels: Compile your own for that extra performance squeeze. Every millisecond counts when you're on the grind.
11. Distro hopping: Arch today, Gentoo tomorrow. Each distro teaches you something new. More knowledge = more value in the job market.
12. Containerization: Docker, LXC. Sandbox everything. Perfect for testing and deployment without messing up your main system.
13. Cron jobs: Schedule tasks like a boss. Automate backups, updates, whatever. Set it and forget it, focus on the money-making stuff.
14. Virtual desktops: Organize your workspaces like a pro. One for coding, one for research, one for your side hustle. Switch contexts in a snap.

Alright, so now you know this can do something, but you need to be careful to not install Linux directly, but use WSL. Or do dual boot.

Sounds very unappealing ngl


I think you need to be more like sara from marketing

but good if you genuinely love it though but now I think I have started feeling like there is more to life than what's in front of your screen

Touching grass is @reaaski!

I am an engineer, a grass toucher and a marketer.

I hear the call every business owner online wants… - Traffic - Traffic - Traffic - Traffic - Everyone thinks it’s like money - if you have more, life will fix itself - right? Wrong. Because everyone misses this ONE simple point… …what good is traffic when you haven’t prepared to catch it properly?

You need an engineer / product development / an offer.

Doesn't seem like much coping going around here. I slept peacefully as well and first time hearing about it here
