Thoughts and good wishes going out to the CrowdStrike developer(s) responsible for today's global IT outages. Tomorrow is another day 🤗
"Microsoft suggests switching it off and on again… 15 times" LOL.
Been keeping any eye on the CrowdStrike IT failures all morning. I find this stuff super interesting. I dipped into Twitter a few times to see reactions and wish I hadn't.

Reading about the Dropbox AI shenanigans makes me wonder about my files in Microsoft's OneDrive, especially given their recent AI fervour. I use the Insync Linux client on Debian to sync files with my OneDrive account and it works really well, but maybe it is time to consider some alternatives.
