It's incredible how x86 and x86-64 managed to be such a mess full of historical quirks, and it makes me wonder whether preserving backwards compatibility as a priority above everything else is really worth it.

Yea and two years ago, the Linux Falcon-Sesnor was a full on kernel module (and only worked with very selection versions of Debian/RHEL/SLES because CrowdStrike doesn't know how the fuck DKMS works). A similar Linux issue could have been way worse. I really pushed back on Falcon Sensor at one company and the security team was filled with fucking morons.

The newer Falcon-Sensor for Linux uses eBPS, but it still runs as root and is a massive attack vector waiting for a disaster. The only way things get better is if company stop using it entirely.

9 years later, he's still doing it

It's like 9/11, but not a CIA false flag .... or is it?

CrowdStrike has always been a shit company. Their Linux sensor only works with very specific distributions and kernels. Even nvidia knows how to use DKMS to distribute their binary blobs for everyone.

Their Falcon-sensor is a security disaster waiting to happen. It gives full access to everything on disc on every server. Their installation package runs as root, accesses their custom kernel module, and auto-updates itself. I'm honestly surprised this whole thing isn't worse.

Proton Mail is now AI bullshit. Pass it on.

A massive technology outage is wreaking havoc worldwide. Early reports blame the chaos on an issue with Microsoft, the dominant operating system for desktop computers and the software Falcon from CrowdStrike. #CyberSecurity #technologynews

Question everything. What are the chances photographer Doug Mills was in the Florida school classroom with George W. Bush on 9/11 and also at the Trump assassination attempt?

I will be joining The Jimmy Dore Show shortly to discuss Peter Thiel and his connections to Trump's VP, J.D. Vance.

Why worrying about CrowdStrike when 13th and 14th gen Intel chips, which is what the majority of the consumer market uses, are failing at a concerning rate?

Gun-related channels are reporting that Google/YouTube is not only demonetizing them, they are also no longer allowed to feature private sponsors that market gun-related products. #censorship

First thing is AI.

Is this worth 20 min of watching? AI is not coming for any devs job any time soon (unless you want wrong answers only).

The reason for the tech layoffs is super simple. Companies vastly over hired in 2020 for way too much. My friends in Finance at Amazon told me they were hiring devs for ~220k, not including options. Some Total Comp (TC) got over $300k. That's really insane, even for like a SRE or DevOps person who puts in 50~60 hours a week.

What resulted is pretty much just a correction. Does he get into that in this video? Because if he doesn't, he's skipping the very obvious answer.

My predicts from July of 2022 was that people who were laid off, who work remotely, bought houses in TX/TN/NC/etc. for Chicago and NYC prices .. raising the floor of single family homes to $300k:

I thought eventually we'd see another housing collapse by now. Layoffs would mean people walked away from $1800/month mortgages they couldn't afford and housing would get sucked up by all the Blackrock/Vanguard backed rental companies.

Some of that has happened ... but new housing construction hasn't slowed down here in TN. People are still buying houses. Locals now understand that $300k floor isn't going back down ever. Local wages for skilled workers are rising to grab some of that influx, along with other remote work.

The commercial real estate market hasn't collapsed yet either. I'm not sure if maybe this is being propped up so it will happen under Trump/24 instead so they can blame him, but I have my doubts. I think my predictions didn't pan out.
