It didn’t
Since I run Arch I was totally fine with it. I run Arch BTW.
Our infrastructure engineering software was down, on the only office day that week. Ended up going into the field to do more inspections, and we finally almost caught up on the CAD/reports this week.
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.
crowdstrike? did i miss something?
Yeah just look it up. Half the internet was down, basically.
it was a joke
i use linux btw
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.”
I was offline for 1/2 a day when I returned from work after 2 weeks vacation. This was 4 days later and my remote (onsite) Windows workstation was in accessible.
IT eventually had to remove it from its location and when in it for several hours to get it back up.
Then once back in I had to log back in to every internal and external website. If Chrome (work req.) didn’t save logins that would have been painful.
Mostly just ruined social media for a few weeks :)
We weren’t able to send work orders to maintenance for a day. We sent it the next day.
I was devastated.
Got stuck in the airport for a day , missed work and my boss got mad.
Non of our customers use it so no effect on us. Then again, I am a network engineer so even if it did it not like I could help much.
I work mostly with FortiNet gear so SSL 0 day are my bad days.
It only affected our time clock system. So we just used paper timecards for a week while IT worked on getting it back up.
Somehow it seems to have only affected other people I’ve heard from on Lemmy.
It caused me to not get a job there (I had been interviewing with them for a Linux Engineer position for a few weeks beforehand).
Other than that, it didn’t affect me at all.
I got a TON of overtime.
