idk if people on tumblr know about this but a cybersecurity software called crowdstrike just did what is probably the single biggest fuck up in any sector in the past 10 years. it's monumentally bad. literally the most horror-inducing nightmare scenario for a tech company.
some info, crowdstrike is essentially an antivirus software for enterprises. which means normal laypeople cant really get it, they're for businesses and organisations and important stuff.
so, on a friday evening (it of course wasnt friday everywhere but it was friday evening in oceania which is where it first started causing damage due to europe and na being asleep), crowdstrike pushed out an update to their windows users that caused a bug.
before i get into what the bug is, know that friday evening is the worst possible time to do this because people are going home. the weekend is starting. offices dont have people in them. this is just one of many perfectly placed failures in the rube goldburg machine of crowdstrike. there's a reason friday is called 'dont push to live friday' or more to the point 'dont fuck it up friday'
so, at 3pm at friday, an update comes rolling into crowdstrike users which is automatically implemented. this update immediately causes the computer to blue screen of death. very very bad. but it's not simply a 'you need to restart' crash, because the computer then gets stuck into a boot loop.
this is the worst possible thing because, in a boot loop state, a computer is never really able to get to a point where it can do anything. like download a fix. so there is nothing crowdstrike can do to remedy this death update anymore. it is now left to the end users.
it was pretty quickly identified what the problem was. you had to boot it in safe mode, and a very small file needed to be deleted. or you could just rename crowdstrike to something else so windows never attempts to use it.
it's a fairly easy fix in the grand scheme of things, but the issue is that it is effecting enterprises. which can have a looooot of computers. in many different locations. so an IT person would need to manually fix hundreds of computers, sometimes in whole other cities and perhaps even other countries if theyre big enough.
another fuck up crowdstrike did was they did not stagger the update, so they could catch any mistakes before they wrecked havoc. (and also how how HOW do you not catch this before deploying it. this isn't a code oopsie this is a complete failure of quality ensurance that probably permeates the whole company to not realise their update was an instant kill). they rolled it out to everyone of their clients in the world at the same time.
and this seems pretty hilarious on the surface. i was havin a good chuckle as eftpos went down in the store i was working at, chaos was definitely ensuring lmao. im in aus, and banking was literally down nationwide.
but then you start hearing about the entire country's planes being grounded because the airport's computers are bricked. and hospitals having no computers anymore. emergency call centres crashing. and you realised that, wow. crowdstrike just killed people probably. this is literally the worst thing possible for a company like this to do.
crowdstrike was kinda on the come up too, they were starting to become a big name in the tech world as a new face. but that has definitely vanished now. to fuck up at this many places, is almost extremely impressive. its hard to even think of a comparable fuckup.
a friday evening simultaneous rollout boot loop is a phrase that haunts IT people in their darkest hours. it's the monster that drags people down into the swamp. it's the big bag in the horror movie. it's the end of the road. and for crowdstrike, that reaper of souls just knocked on their doorstep.
people with high IQs are usually mentally ill because they understand life to such a point that nothing matters. so we become pretentious in our stimulants and nihilism. might as well include using big words to make ourselves feel superior to the simple-minded; when really we crave to be as clueless and carefree just to know what it's like to feel joy.
I love my bf. Through thick and thin. I know the truth. Fucking fight me. This is just another experience teaching me to never give up on my intuition. It has led me to some major wake up calls... please don’t insult my intelligence. I deserve more credit about my moral compass than I’ve been given and that really hurts.

That awkward moment when you want to go to your friends because someone upset you but the person who upset you is your friend..
You come and go; I’m the waves and you’re the shore.
Nothing makes me angrier than not knowing what to call what we have.
So weird how people don’t
take responsibility for their actions, because they believe in a God that will forgive them for their unacceptable behavior if they repent, but then keep acting like a damn fool.

I might be biased but I grew up and live in the area this was made so it’s pretty easy for it to be taken a little personally.
Soul Mate VS Twin Flame
I met someone online on October 30th, 2016. Peculiar, I chatted with him. We’ll call him Knoble.
We talked forever. All the time. When we finally met, it was like I was nervous for nothing. We played rummy, and he even re-taught me how to play tunk, a gambling game I learned to play my freshman year in high school. It was really cool to have someone I could connect with again. Little did I know at all, any of his story, and how we came to meet online.
It’s hard for me to remember now, because I’ve been drinking to forget, but as I write about this all to get it OUT of my head, I’m remembering it all, and it’s starting to hurt.
If we weren’t together, we were texting, or sending each other shit on Instagram, Snapchat, or on face-time for hours at a time. When we’d hangout, it was always good. The conversations lasted, or there was silence, and it wasn’t awkward silence. Just *being* together. We watched movies, we went to spot and another skate park. He motivated me to get back into something I have up in middle school. I helped him see that he didn’t need to body shame himself, I took care of him in a time of dire need. When he tripped I made sure to be someone he’d be comfortable around. That next morning, I had fallen asleep, he was up all night. I woke up to him massaging my back, my arms, my legs, and he asked me if I would take a shower with him. I rejected because I’m fairly insecure of my body, not to mention I was really hungover. He didn’t push it and understood. Then I got a text from him asking me if I would, I caved, he convinced me with a spirit wash. He washed every part of me, including my soul. I was overwhelmed with joy and sadness, because I thought I was finally getting the love I had given to so many people, back. That was when my feelings started for him.
We painted a lot together. We showed each other a lot of new but similar taste in things, books/movies/music/quotes/ We made dinner one night, lol. Asparagus, boiled carrots, baked potatoes. I got to leave my pillow and blanket there, because I knew I’d be coming over a few more times.
Although, leaving my stuff there was temporary like my existence in his life.
I didn’t want to, but deep down I knew I would take his actions the wrong way. I wanted to at least have one chance, but I didn’t get it. He even warned me, I didn’t listen. I denied my “I love you” moments and claimed them to be just me sitting back and appreciating him. But he was right, I was starting to fall, he took notice, and hurt me sooner than later.
Basically, I fucking hate myself and everyone human being. Trust me, I LOVE everyone. But I hate HUMAN BEINGS.
I have this HUGE thing about being positive around people because I don’t want them to ever feel how I do..
Is that wrong? Am I still being honest with myself even though I show the exact opposite to my peers?
