“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Monday morning Crowdstrike cock-up

by | Jul 22, 2024 | Mondays | 2 comments

What a Friday that was, eh? It was actually quite hilarious to watch, from afar, mostly because everyone I know and work with, was completely unaffected. I also had no issues at all, simply because I use Linux at home, and only use my WinDOZE partition for gaming.

So let us get right to the point and dedicate today’s Great Mondaydact Computer Crasher to the very thing that crashed the entire world’s infrastructure – and when I say “the entire world”, I actually mean only the Western world, because Russia and China, as it turns out, were completely fine.

The Russians, by the way, have ben developing their own independent operating system, based on a Debian derivative of LInux, called Astra, for their own mission-critical systems and government portals, and they have done so quite successfully. They have their own airport check-in software, which is used throughout the FSU countries. Their banking platforms are home-grown, as are their equivalents of Google and Amazon.

They are, in other words, essentially sovereign and independent when it comes to technology.

The West, however, is none of those things.

And that is a big part of what went wrong last week:

Here is someone who looks like a homosexual to explain it to us:

Let’s have a proper Windows dev explain it:

All in all, it was one COLOSSAL fustercluck, which simply points out just how important it is to create and build your own independent platforms, away from the grasping hands of the US government and Microsoft.


#BasedTucker is Based

That interview with John Rich is absolutely SUPERB. Mr. Rich goes into details of the Bible that most Christians have never even heard, unless they pay attention to the works of men like Dr. Michael Heiser (RIP).


Dawn of Battle

The Male Brain has plenty to keep you occupied and entertained โ€“ on your personal mobile devices, where no doubt loading up this poast will crash the memory โ€“ while the techs and sysadmins frantically undo the damage wrought by Crowdstrike. We start with one from SkyNet, where the host points out the sheer idiocy of the whore-media coverage of the assassination attempt on the Trumpfather:

PsycHacks has EXCELLENT advice on how to choose between women:

His point about having an abundance mindset is critical to keep in mind. It applies to life in general, not just women.

In case you wonder why people like me are constantly ripping on Muzzies for, basically, stealing literally their entire religion from other sources, Collective-History explains the problem for us:

Keep in mind, the Hagia Sophia was once the greatest church in all of Christendom. Iโ€™ve been there โ€“ it is MAGNIFICENT.

Today, it is a mosque.

Why?

Because the Ottomans couldnโ€™t be arsed to build something as amazing as that on their own.

Moving on โ€“ Sabine Hossenfelder is back with the follies of hydrogen storage:

The problem with Ms Sabine is that, despite her background in physics โ€“ in other words, she actually does have a serious brain โ€“ she still believes in the nonsense of โ€œman-made climate changeโ€, which is nothing more than a very stupid ideology and a fairy tale.

While we are on the subject of climate change fairy tales โ€“ here is Facts Matter with Roman Balmakov about the failures of the climate evangelists to predict, well, anything beyond their next bowel movements:

Moon asks a very pertinent question about the current job market:

These are very good points. Dawn Pine and I both agree โ€“ the best way to get a good job these days is to go old-school, with networking and face-to-face meetings.

Teal Swan โ€“ who is a very interesting character, despite the utter weirdness of some of her advice โ€“ has some solid stuff to say about men and women:


Mind-Expanding Drugs

Here is one from The Male Brain, via Unsolicited advice, about how and why everything around us sounds like absolute nonsense these days:


Death Smiles At Us All…


Poli-Ticking Off

Mark Dice


The very-thoroughly-married couple at Redacted delve deep into the โ€œmultiple shootersโ€ theory of the failed assassination of T-Rex:


PJW continues to find stranger and weirder things the more he looks at the shooting:


Lord Razor of the Fist Clan draws the obvious conclusions from Brandon #5โ€™s โ€“ or #6โ€™s, who knows which clone version we are on by now โ€“ failures to boot into safe mode:


ะ”ะตะด ะกะฒะฐั€ะปะธะฒั‹ะน ะ“ะพะฒะพั€ะธั‚!

Grandpa Grumpuss grumps, grumpily, about the collapsing of the lies upon which America built its false image of its own military, diplomatic, and policy supremacy:


Polonium

Ania Konieczek talks with two genuine expert analysts about the assassination attempt on the God-Emperor:


Timeo Danaos Et Donna Ferentesโ€ฆ

The good gentlemen of The Duran talk about the Deep State coup now unfolding against Brandon:


The Bald Truth

Brian Berletic of The New Atlas goes over the Western lugenpresseโ€™s headlines, which now admit Ukraine is, in fact, outright LOSING the 404 War:

FFSโ€ฆ the idiot whorenalists who write this crap, could have read any one of about three DOZEN different sites, INCLUDING THIS ONE, which would have told them EXACTLY THE SAME THING, two years ago.


Bad Medicine

Dr. John Campbell compares the deadliness of the Moderna and Pfizer not-vaxxes:


Dr. Suneel Dhand tells you why you should BUST THAT GUT:

And how do you do it? Wellโ€ฆ


Dr. Shawn Baker โ€“ who is an orthopod, but looks like a powerlifter โ€“ sits down and eats a massive steak, while listening to a man on the carnivore diet explain how it works:


Warriors of Faith

Tha Dizzle and Jai Apologetics point out the serious problems with the myth of Koranic preservation:


Dr. Jay Smith from PfanderFilms and Al-Fadi from CIRA International shred through the nonsensical notion of the โ€œperfect preservationโ€ of the Koran, using nothing more than historical data about the qiraats:

If you do not know what those are โ€“ do not worry, neither do Moose Limbs.

Seriously, they really do not.

If you ask 10 Muzzies what the deal is with the ahruf and the qiraat, they simply have no consistent answers. Their own books muddy the waters severely, and their top scholars have spent CENTURIES puzzling through it all, and have failed utterly to come up with a coherent approach.


Chris At Speakerโ€™s Corner has been having quite a lot of fun recently with pointing out to Muzzies how their own fake religion supports the inspiration, preservation, and authenticity of the Old and New Testaments:


Islam Critiqued ranks the most embarrassing things about Moโ€™Lester the Paedophile Profit:


Christian Prince points out to a very shocked Sunni that his own beliefs are every bit as ridiculous as those of the Shiโ€™a that Sunnis love to mock:


Sam Shamoun and Avery from GodLogic Apologetics continue to school and spank Muslims about their own death-cult โ€“ and manage to save one or two along the way, too:


Manly Men of Manliness

Settle into a comfy chair, boys, and listen while Bad Uncle Terrence Popp dissects the assassination attempt on T-Rex:


Joker from Better Bachelor explains how DIEdeology very nearly resulted in the death of a President:


Burn Paedowood to the Ground

Midnightโ€™s Edge references James Oโ€™Keefeโ€™s latest expose of the House of the Devil Mouse, which shows they genuinely do want to groom your kids:

At this point, as Cerno stated when speaking with #BasedTucker, anyone who tells you NOT to guard what your children see and read, is a confirmed groomer.


Overlord Dicktor Van Doomcock shows how Disney keeps stacking up the Ls โ€“ they just got hacked, apparently:


Gary from Nerdrotic had to suffer through the finale of The Acolyte, and is questioning his life choices as a result:


The Critical Drinker somehow โ€“ and I still do not comprehend how this is possible โ€“ has a liver, after watching the finale of The Acolyte:


Reading Too Much Into Things

Linkage is good for you:

And some more from Dawn Pine:


MUH RUSHIAN KAHLOOOOOOOZHUN!!!

The Neo-Tsar showed just how different he is from most Western leaders, by driving a Lada on his own down the last stretch of a major new highway linking the two biggest cities in Russia:


HALO Nation

Slayergod Remy aka MintBlitz does his thing, while revelling in the fact that the HALO โ€œSilver Timelineโ€ TV show is now officially SCRAPPED:

About bloody time. I have never watched a single episode of that show, and now I never will. To me, that show is an utter betrayal of everything that made HALO so great in the first place.


BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!

PancreasNoWork talks about the merits of each major faction within the 40K universe:


Oh No! Anywayโ€ฆ

Wazzocks gonna wazzock:


Comedy Hour

And some more comedy:

This is a classic case for “The great restart”
Actually Kamala may actually do something, but only maybe:

“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.” Hanlon’s razor
Go figure
NOT COOL BRO!
We can all see it now
Spot on

Suggest he’ll go back to Europe in the same order that everyone else got there
Looks about right
Good call

“Feminism be like”
Never thought about it
That is a sign

Rock Out With Your Glock Out


Thot Shots

Finally, here is your Instathot for the start of the week. This here is Alyssa Kulani, age 24 from Canuckistan. She is some sort of TikTokist, Instahammer, and general influenza. Donโ€™t worry if you do not have the first clue what any of that means โ€“ neither does anyone else above the age of about 20.

OK, boys, back to work now.

    A cornucopia of videos and memes. I particularly appreciate the plethora of Alf memes. “GandALF”—ROFL!
