Crowdstrike released a faulty update that brought down so many corporate Windows systems down.
If you are wondering how big the Crowdstrike mishap is, here is some data from their website

Finally was able to setup #Ubuntu server with #BTRFS, #LUKS Full disk encryption (#FDE), auto decrypt partitions with a USB key without need to enter LUKS password on boot and loving it ❤️

#Android apps digitally signed by China’s third-biggest e-commerce company exploited a zero-day vulnerability that allowed them to surreptitiously take control of millions of end-user devices to steal personal data and install malicious #apps :

@conchezness @mikecodemonkey @robertgavila @Linux_Mint @coreboot_org Yeah that looks interesting! Never changed the default firmware in my laptops before. Gonna be a fun project some weekend. Thanks 😊

[Deekshith (@[email protected]) @adeekshith]

@conchezness @mikecodemonkey @robertgavila @Linux_Mint @coreboot_org Gotcha. Thanks!

[Deekshith (@[email protected]) @adeekshith]

@juha_remes @mikecodemonkey @Linux_Mint Me too! Just had to replace the poor old battery but it keeps running like charm with Linux... except for VMs in #AndroidStudio

A poor man's internet speed test: https://t.co/1vel4gGijX

Convenient to use on machines where we do not want to install additional software to run a speed test.

@rhamorim It's got much better though esp with all the new functional primitives like lambdas, streams and other stuff

@bhupeshimself Heard great things about Phoenix web framework too. May be a full stack web app would be a great way to start.

@bhupeshimself I never worked in Elixir but Erlang/Elixir are very interesting. Used to watch all talks and podcasts from Joe Armstrong (creator of Erlang) when he was alive. I wonder why the adoption is so low for these languages.
Are you planning to create anything with Elixir?

[Deekshith (@[email protected]) @adeekshith]

@rhamorim Layoffs?

[Deekshith (@[email protected]) @adeekshith]

Frustrating to constantly encounter surprised and open-mouthed faces in all #YouTube thumbnails. It appears to be a tactic used to capture the viewer's attention and manipulate the algorithm into thinking the video is more interesting, making it more likely to go viral.

🔑 #LastPass password manager was hacked and encrypted user info was stolen. That surely is bad news but the good news is all passwords are encrypted and LastPass doesn't store the keys.

No service is immune to hacking but the model of storing client side encrypted data makes modern password managers safe. I use #Bitwarden btw which has a similar security model.
