You assume I would think you’re wrong. I do not.
Morally, assassination is despicable. But so is fascism.
I applaud you for taking the high road, while I just say Fuck ‘em all. Fascism should not be tolerated, even in a democracy.

It doesn’t require Hitler-level Evil. Just pragmatism.
What CrowdStrike is actually selling, is someone who actually looks at the system logs and who pushes a button when something pops up. Roughly.
There are better solutions on the market. Unfortunately CrowdStrike has the more aggressive sales team.
For those wondering, I’m referring to *nix based solutions like SElinux, appArmor, iptables, nftables, cgroups, … But you need to monitor your logs if you want to take appropriate action.
He did (at least) one good thing in life, and people feel the need to smear him…
As long as the OS was supported, updates were available.
But yes, I loaded a nice Fedora on it… 😉
Overpriced hardware comes with a boon: It lasts longer. I am by no means an apple fanboy, but when I discovered the 12 year old Mac of my dad still performed like mid-range PCs with Windows, I was quite surprised.
Still not buying their hardware though…
Ise kde, not gnome.
Ah yes… the difference between 25Hz and 33Hz on an x8086….
And then the last floppy had an error…
Aside from the obvious (company providing all the necessary tools) why not using libreoffice and saving it as M$ excel?
And here I thought AEB was about protecting pedestrians and avoiding collisions, instead of being knocked out in a fight caused by such an event… Glad that got cleared out…

Yes! Been using it for a long time now! Never had any (major) issues!
So pure out curiosity… and science! how many liters of toothpaste did you consume over the last 3 days?
The I can only recommend you to start automating everything you do, to make tour job easier and make more time to slack 😝
Start small, and build on that.
Try Ansible, it is easy and allows you to do some really cool stuff. It helped me migrate 500+ systems from KVM to vmware, where no commercial tool was able to help me…
There is nothing more important than security patches on a system.
I used to work at an FMI, which’s motto was “keep things stable”. Even the ciso department bought that crap. Until we hired a white hat hacker. The only thing given was the name of the company. He managed to get into the building, access an employee’s workstation and install a root kit on one of the most important financial message tracking systems (you know, the one that instructs other systems to transfer money), using a security bug, which would have been patched if they kept a regular (security) update cycle. After shit hit the fan, many people were fired and an update cycle was introduced.
No system is important enough to not patch. And if you believe it is, you’re wrong.
Surprise… Surprise… It’s a snap!
I honestly have no idea. But I discovered it a decade ago when I needed to process a short film. Haven’t touched it since.
You must not have heard of ®syslog.
I beg to differ, I find SELinux easy to setup. But your mileage may vary, depending on one’s experience.
When talking about ease of use… Configuration is configuration. If you do not take the time to learn how to use your product, the product you know will always be better than the one you don’t. I’ve used Crowdstrike. I’ve battled them to get their kernel modules signing certificate to be signed by RedHat. I’ve battled them to have the possibility to have the auto update disabled. So no, I am not impressed by the quality of their product. I’ll bet any day a vanilla RHEL with the correct security related software and the latest updates outperforms and outclasses Crowdstrike.
