There is something strange about the response to CrowdStrike. I've had people defend them and blame the companies for having auto-update.
It's not just an observations but along the lines of they are good and we need to continue doing business with them. It feels very odd and forced.
not defending crowdstrike, but auto updates are a bad idea in my opinion.
I cannot fathom the man who auto updates nor the man who never updates.
He got burned by Microsoft XP's Service Pack 2 update from over a decade ago and decided it was never worth the risk if something's already working.
lol. I stopped updating when every single goddammn update was pushing win10 on me, and my machine literally could not upgrade ( I tried multiple times, and every time, it ended up rolling back).
Then I found out about the crap win10 was phoning home (and their bullshit excuse that it was just "telemetry data," which by the way is a meaningless phrase), and how they were going to force updates, and I said "fukkit, linux it is"
...and now I occasionally remember to update, lol.
Hey thats me!
Has it really been a decade already?
When it comes to servers and security, you want to update as soon as possible. If updates are frequent, there's no reason not to automatize it.
There is at least one reason to not automatize updating and it just happened.
I disagree. in a business environment, you should be testing updates before you deploy company-wide, and this crowdstrike fiasco is a good reason why.
You want to update by choice as soon as possible.
Auto-updating without consent creates downstream disasters, even security vulnerabilities. If I don't see release notes, I ain't updating.
Sure, except for the giant clusterfuck we’re talking about that happened just a couple days ago.
