Today I'm grateful I'm using Linux - Global IT issues caused by Crowdstrike update causes BSOD on Windows
This isn't a gloat post. In fact, I was completely oblivious to this massive outage until I tried to check my bank balance and it wouldn't log in.
Apparently Visa Paywave, banks, some TV networks, EFTPOS, etc. have gone down. Flights have had to be cancelled as some airlines systems have also gone down. Gas stations and public transport systems inoperable. As well as numerous Windows systems and Microsoft services affected. (At least according to one of my local MSMs.)
Seems insane to me that one company's messed up update could cause so much global disruption and so many systems gone down :/ This is exactly why centralisation of services and large corporations gobbling up smaller companies and becoming behemoth services is so dangerous.
Latest Crowdstrike Update Causes Blue Screen Of Death On Microsoft Windows, Multiple Users Affected
Latest Crowdstrike Update Issue: The issue seems widespread, affecting machines running various CrowdStrike sensor versions. CrowdStrike has acknowledged the problem and is currently investigating the cause.Moinak Pal (Times Now)
My fellow software engineer, It's the year 2024...
How Long Should Hardware/Software Support Last?
A while back there was some debate about the Linux kernel dropping support for some very old GPUs. (I can't remember the exact models, but they were roughly from the late 90's)
It spurred a lot of discussion on how many years of hardware support is reasonable to expect.
I would like to hear y'alls views on this. What do you think is reasonable?
The fact that some people were mad that their 25 year old GPU wouldn't be officially supported by the latest Linux kernel seemed pretty silly to me. At that point, the machine is a vintage piece of tech history. Valuable in its own right, and very cool to keep alive, but I don't think it's unreasonable for the devs to drop it after two and a half decades.
I think for me, a 10 year minimum seems reasonable.
And obviously, much of this work is for little to no pay, so love and gratitude to all the devs that help keep this incredible community and ecosystem alive!
And don't forget to Pay for your free software!!!
i use 10 year old hardware and its pretty capable on linux
we reached a point of diminishing returns in the advance of this technology
9 year hardware upgrade, running arch 😱
I undertook a sizeable upgrade today, bringing a skylake era build into the 2020s with a 13th gen. All core components- memory, motherboard, GPU, everything must go... except the drives. We were nervous, my friend really felt we should reinstall. There was debate, and drama. Considerations and exceptions. No, I couldn't let my OS go. I have spent years tweaking and tuning, molding my ideal computing environment. We pushed forward.
Well I'm pleased to say it was mostly uneventful. The ethernet adapter was renamed causing misconfigured dhcp, but otherwise it booted right up like nothing happened. Sorry, linux is boring now.
Cleaning out my ~/Downloads folder I found this really cool song.
Google says it's "Golden Echo" by Ryder Monroe.
Celluloid says the MP3 metdata is "Drunken Credits".
Either way, it's pretty cool.
Edit: I think I know why I downloaded this because this would make such a great wake-up alarm!

Crane Parts: When to Repair or Replace
When a crane breaks down, the clock starts ticking, and costs pile up fast. A failed component—like a hydraulic system, boom, or control module—forces a critical decision: repair it or replace it? The wrong choice can lead to safety hazards, prolonged downtime, or unexpected expenses.
Here’s a clear guide to help you make the right call.
Prioritize Safety
The first question is non-negotiable: Is the component safe to keep using?
If there’s any chance of failure that could harm workers or equipment, replace it immediately. Parts like load-bearing hooks, hydraulic rams, or slewing gears can hide defects that aren’t visible. If you’re unsure, bring in a technician or contact a crane parts supplier for a professional evaluation.
Evaluate the Part’s Role
Components vary in their impact on crane performance:
- High-priority parts: Booms, hydraulic pumps, slew bearings
- Medium-priority parts: Control electronics, sensors
- Low-priority parts: Exterior panels, cab fittings
For high-priority parts, replacement is often the best way to avoid extended downtime. For example, if a Grove crane’s hydraulic pump fails, sourcing new Grove crane parts can be faster than a complex rebuild, especially under tight deadlines.
Check the Component’s History
Every part has a finite lifespan. Ask:
- Has this part been repaired multiple times?
- Is it past its manufacturer-recommended service life?
A component with repeated repairs is a liability. For instance, a slewing ring that’s been fixed twice may cost more to maintain than to replace. If it’s nearing the end of its lifespan, a new part is typically the better investment.
Consider Downtime Costs
Downtime is a profit drain. Repairs might seem cost-effective, but they can take longer than replacements. Key factors:
- Availability: A crane parts supplier with Grove crane parts in stock can often ship quickly.
- Repair complexity: Rebuilding a boom section can take days, while a new part might arrive in hours.
If your project faces tight schedules or penalties, replacement often makes more sense.
Do the Cost Analysis
Imagine a new part costs $18,000, while a repair is $8,000. Before choosing, account for:
- Labor for repair or installation
- Shipping costs for heavy components
- Lost revenue from downtime
- Risk of a repaired part failing again
A repair might save money now but cost more if it fails soon. A new part could deliver years of trouble-free operation.
Check Part Availability
Older cranes can pose challenges. If new parts are unavailable, you can:
- Source aftermarket or refurbished Grove crane parts through a crane parts supplier
- Pursue a custom repair, which may be less reliable and more expensive
While many Grove crane components are still in production, older models may have obsolete parts. If a replacement isn’t available, repair might be your only option.
Factor in Warranties
New parts often include warranties, protecting you from future issues. Repairs rarely offer this security. If a repaired component fails again, you’re stuck with more costs and downtime. For high-stakes parts, a warranty can justify the higher cost of replacement.
Consult the Experts
Don’t go it alone. Talk to:
- Your crane mechanic for hands-on insights
- Your site manager for project impacts
- A crane parts supplier familiar with Grove crane parts
Their expertise can guide you based on real-world outcomes, helping you avoid costly missteps.
Decision Checklist
Use this quick reference to guide your decision:
- ✅ Safety concern? → Replace
- ✅ Repaired multiple times? → Replace
- ✅ Repair takes longer than replacement? → Replace
- ✅ Part unavailable? → Consider repair
- ✅ Repair < 40% of replacement cost and urgent? → Consider repair
- ✅ Warranty offered? → Replace if covered
Closing Thoughts
Crane parts are costly, but downtime and safety risks are even more expensive. Look beyond the initial price and consider reliability, safety, and project deadlines. A trusted crane parts supplier with expertise in Grove crane parts can simplify your decision with fast delivery and valuable advice.
Choose the option that keeps your crane and project moving forward.

ABBA - When I Kissed The Teacher
"When I Kissed The Teacher" by ABBA is a playful and catchy pop song that captures the excitement and innocence of young love. Released in 1976, this track showcases the group's signature harmonies and upbeat melodies, making it a delightful addition to their extensive catalogue and a favourite among fans.
Lyrics:
Everybody screamed
When I kissed the teacher
And they must have thought they dreamed
When I kissed the teacher
All my friends at school
They had never seen the teacher blush, he looked like a fool
Nearly petrified 'cause he was taken by surprise
When I kissed the teacher
Couldn't quite believe his eyes
When I kissed the teacher
My whole class went wild
As I held my breath, the world stood still
But then he just smiled
I was in the seventh heaven
When I kissed the teacher
One of these days
Gonna tell him I dream of him every night
One of these days
Gonna show him I care, gonna teach him a lesson alright
I was in a trance
When I kissed the teacher
Suddenly I took the chance
When I kissed the teacher
Leaning over me
He was trying to explain the laws of geometry
And I couldn't help it
I just had to kiss the teacher
One of these days
Gonna tell him I dream of him every night
One of these days
Gonna show him I care
Gonna teach him a lesson alright
What a crazy day
When I kissed the teacher
All my sense had flown away
When I kissed the teacher
My whole class went wild
As I held my breath, the world stood still
But then he just smiled
I was in the seventh heaven
When I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug, hug him) when I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug him) when I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug, hug him) when I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug him) when I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug, hug him)

If you stumble upon a better recording of ABBA, I’d be chuffed to swap this one out! We love it best when it sounds its absolute finest!
nanook@friendica.eskimo.com I’ve now listened to s3XCtFHyXq0
and jGj8oM9NUZk
, and to be honest, I’m not keen on the sound in either of them. They don’t do justice to the original work by Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad (#ABBA).
Replacing this #musicVideo would feel wrong in my view, as it should remain true to the original film from 1977.
I admit the image is slightly better in the 4K version, but in my opinion, it’s not enough to warrant swapping it out for the original work.

Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?
I have tried Linux as a DD on and off for years but about a year ago I decided to commit to it no matter the cost. First with Mint, then Ubuntu and a few others sprinkled in briefly. Both are "mainstream" "beginner friendly" distros, right? I don't want anything too advanced, right?
Well, ubuntu recently updated and it broke my second monitor (Ubuntu detected it but the monitor had "no signal"). After trying to fix it for a week, I decided to wipe it and reinstall. No luck. I tried a few other distros that had the same issue and I started to wonder if it was a hardware issue but I tried a Windows PC and the monitor worked no problem.
Finally, just to see what would happen I tried a distro very very different than what I'm used to: Fedora (Kinoite). And not only did everything "just work" flawlessly, but it's so much faster and more polished than I ever knew Linux to be!
Credit where it's due, a lot of the polish is due to KDE plasma. I'd never strayed from Gnome because I'm not an expert and people recommend GNOME to Linux newbies because it's "simple" and "customizable" but WOW is KDE SO MUCH SIMPLER AND STILL CUSTOMIZEABLE. Gnome is only "simple" in that it doesn't allow you to do much via the GUI. With Fedora Kinode I think I needed to use the terminal maybe once during setup? With other distros I was constantly needed to use the terminal (yes its helped me learn Linux but that curve is STEEP).
The atomic updates are fantastic too. I have not crashed once in the two weeks of setup whereas before I would have a crash maybe 1-2 times per week.
I am FULLY prepared for the responses demanding to know what I did to make it crash and telling me how I was using it wrong blah blah blah but let me tell you, if you are experienced with Windows but want to learn Linux and getting frustrated by all the "beginner" distros that get recommended, do yourself a favor and try Fedora Kinoite!
edit: i am DYING at the number of "you're using it wrong" comments here. never change people.

Fatefully
I tried to pick my battles 'til the battle picked me
Misery
Like the war of words I shouted in my sleep
And you passed right by
I was in the alley, surrounded on all sides
The knife cuts both ways
If the shoe fits, walk in it 'til your high heels break
And I fell from the pedestal
Right down the rabbit hole
Long story short, it was a bad time
Pushed from the precipice
Clung to the nearest lips
Long story short, it was the wrong guy
Now I'm all about you
I'm all about you, ah
Yeah, yeah
I'm all about you, ah
Yeah, yeah
Actually
I always felt I must look better in the rear view
Missing me
At the golden gates they once held the keys to
When I dropped my sword
I threw it in the bushes and knocked on your door
And we live in peace
But if someone comes at us
This time, I'm ready
'Cause I fell from the pedestal
Right down the rabbit hole
Long story short, it was a bad time
Pushed from the precipice
Clung to the nearest lips
Long story short, it was the wrong guy
Now I'm all about you
I'm all about you, ah
Yeah, yeah
I'm all about you
No more keepin' score now
I just keep you warm (keep you warm)
No more tug of war now
I just know there's more (know there's more)
No more keepin' score now
I just keep you warm (keep you warm)
And my waves meet your shore
Ever and evermore
Past me
I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty things
Your nemeses
Will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing
And he's passing by
Rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky
And he feels like home
If the shoe fits, walk in it everywhere you go
And I fell from the pedestal
Right down the rabbit hole
Long story short, it was a bad time
Pushed from the precipice
Climbed right back up the cliff
Long story short, I survived
Now I'm all about you (and now)
I'm all about you, ah (and now)
I'm all about you (and now)
I'm all about you, ah
Yeah, yeah
I'm all about you (and now)
Yeah, yeah
I'm all about you
Long story short, it was a bad time
Long story short, I survived

Bryan Adams - Summer Of '69, REMASTERED IN HD!
I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it 'til my fingers bled
Was the summer of '69
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I should've known we'd never get far
Oh, when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah, I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
I spent my evenings down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you, yeah!
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh, and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Oh, yeah
Back in the summer of '69, oh
Man, we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothing can last forever
Forever, no
Yeah
And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about you, wonder what went wrong
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that it'd last forever
Oh, and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Oh, yeah
Back in the summer of '69, uh-huh
It was the summer of '69, oh, yeah
Me and my baby in '69, oh, oh
It was the summer, summer, summer of '69
(Yeah)

Whatever happened to Elon Musk? Tech boss drifts to margins of Trump world
On Monday, the Politico website published an analysis under the headline “Why has Elon Musk disappeared from the spotlight?” It found a sharp drop in the number of times that Trump posted about Musk on his Truth Social platform, from an average of four times a week in February and March to zero since the start of April.
In addition, White House officials no longer fill their social media feeds with Musk-related content. Reporters seldom ask about him at the White House press briefing. Members of Congress are giving his name a wide berth.
Musk seems to be taking the hint. This week, the Tesla chief executive confirmed that he had reduced his role as the unofficial head of the so-called “department of government efficiency” (Doge) to just two days a week, and will also cut his political spending substantially – the latest public signal that he is shifting his attention back to his business empire amid growing investor concerns.
