All our servers and company laptops went down at pretty much the same time. Laptops have been bootlooping to blue screen of death. It's all very exciting, personally, as someone not responsible for fixing it.

Apparently caused by a bad CrowdStrike update.

Edit: now being told we (who almost all generally work from home) need to come into the office Monday as they can only apply the fix in-person. We'll see if that changes over the weekend...

I'm so exhausted... This is madness. As a Linux user I've busy all day telling people with bricked PCs that Linux is better but there are just so many. It never ends. I think this is outage is going to keep me busy all weekend.

A month or so ago a crowdstrike update was breaking some of our Linux vms with newer kernels. So it's not just the os.

How? I'm really curious to learn.

Crowdstrike bricked networking on our linuxes for quite a few versions.
