We’re flying to Miami this morning, then taking the Bright Line to Orlando for a few days. Tomorrow is my brother’s birthday, and Thursday is graduation for my niece (his daughter) who is becoming a physician’s assistant. Friday we have a tour of SpaceX at the Cape. So blogging may be light.

Safe travels!
In case you are hoping to be able to return home via the airlines, here is the root cause analysis of the Falcon software oopsie from Crowdstrike.
They are working on fixing their automation tools thusly:
A patch for the Sensor Content Compiler that validates the number of inputs provided by a Template Type was developed on July 19, 2024, and went into production on July 27, 2024, as part of CrowdStrike’s internal build tooling. The Sensor Content Compiler patch also verified that no other Template Types were providing an incorrect number of inputs, on any platform.
in addition:
Staged deployment mitigates impact if a new Template Instance causes failures such as system crashes, false-positive detection volume spikes or performance issues.
Here’s hoping your airline isn’t an early stage adopter…
Still gotta love the fact that Crowdstrike’s Falcon software (no relation to SpaceX Falcon 9) is treated as an unsigned driver running in the Windows kernel.
If you can’t trust your security software, who can you trust?
(extreme sarcasm)
The Crowdstrike Falcon glitch took out some 8.5M Windows machines worldwide according to an estimate I read.
Is Delta Airlines planning on suing Crowdstrike and Microsoft for the service interruption beginning July 19th? For Microsoft at least it’s an: Oh Boies, here we go again! (see the link above)
Suing your software vendor for damages? Isn’t that a violation of the EULA Delta agreed to? 😉
