Something similar did happen on Linux clients with CrowdStrike installed not too long ago lol

It's because this got pushed as a virus definition update and not a client update bypassing even customer staging rules that should prevent issues like this. Makes it a little more understandable because you'd want to be protected against current threats. But, yeah should still hit testing first if possible.

Nah, CS sent out a virus definition update that included a driver file that was fucked and caused a boot loop. Because it was a virus definition it bypassed staging rules set by customers. It's 100% on CS unless we want to talk about how Windows architectural choices on how it handles loading improperly formatted kernel level drivers. CS also caused issues on Linux not too long ago.

I'm not sure how things work for the VPN side of things but I was using their e-mail service and upgraded to one of the bundled plans. My remaining subscription cost was ~~refunded~~ turned into prorated credits and my bundled subscription took over. I believe it is mentioned on one of their FAQs IIRC.

Edit: Found the page

Good thing about the setup and self updating router is you should have a VPN/(head/tail)scale connection enabled to it so you can still use the smart plug (plugged into the UPS) or send the WoL packet. Or PiKVM. Or if your breaker box is outside ask your neighbor to flip some switches until it comes back to life and come back to an online server and a fridge full of spoiled food.

Smart plug or WOL packet from router go BRRRRR

Huh, TIL. That doesn't appear to be implemented in the mobile app I use.

Fasting and starving yourself aren't the same. Starving is either being out of food without fat reserves or eating too little each day so your body never switches over to burning fat stores. Fasting is overall pretty safe and becoming better studied recently.

I've been fasting every other day since October and used it to lose 50 LBS. I've felt pretty great the whole time and eat high protein/take a multivitamin on eating days to make sure I don't run into any issues. Occasionally I drink electrolytes on fasting days if I'm being active. Many also do time restricted eating without issues
