This doesn’t really answer my question but Crowdstrike do explain a bit here: https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/technical-details-on-todays-outage/

These channel files are configuration for the driver and are pushed several times a day. It seems the driver can take a page fault if certain conditions are met. A mistake in a config file triggered this condition and put a lot of machines into a BSOD bootloop.

I think it makes sense that this was a preexisting bug in the driver which was triggered by an erroneous config. What I still don’t know is if these channel updates have a staged deployment (presumably driver updates do), and what fraction of machines that got the bad update actually had a BSOD.

Anyway, they should rewrite it in Rust.

Does anyone know how these Cloudstrike updates are actually deployed? Presumably the software has its own update mechanism to react to emergent threats without waiting for patch tuesday. Can users control the update policy for these ‘channel files’ themselves?

I would encourage you not to split things up too finely. A single repo for your environment would allow you to see all related changes with git. E.g. if you set up a new VM it might need a playbook to set something up, a script to automate a task, and a DNS entry. With a well put together commit message explaining why you’re making those changes there’s not much need for external documentation.

Maybe if you want some more info organised in a wiki, point to the initial commit where you introduced some set up. That way you can see how something was structured. Or if you have a issue tracker you can comment with research on something and then close the issue when you commit a resolution.

Try not to have info spread out too much or maintaining all the pieces will become a chore. Make it simple and easy to keep up.

Usually aluminium or glass. There’s a metallic coating applied to the outside surfaces that stores the data. That layer is very thin though, so most of the material is the substrate.

Oh right, that makes sense. I was only thinking of Matter as serving low bandwidth devices but it also runs over WiFi and ethernet so I guess it can do video for security cameras etc. and evidently Casting audio and video also.

Also Matter is the smart home interop standard. Seems close enough for some confusion in what Matter compatible means on a device.

Core utils has this AI built in: yes

Make sure it doesn’t go from suck to blow!
