This is something a single test would have caught prior to releasing the update...
You'd think more would be implementing automated testing... apparently, some do no testing whatsoever.
Testing is overrated apparently - lol
Imagine how hard that would be to do in a place using third party AV. It might not even be provided as an option.

RE: Outage 7/19
@Obsolesce testing AV updates is uncommon. Compared to other kinds of things. Outside of Wall St. I've never known any shop anywhere to both use third party AV and do testing of it.

RE: Outage 7/19
@WrCombs It's really super minor. Companies with a clue about security and basic system design aren't really impacted. It requires running Windows on mission critical systems AND not trusting Microsoft AND choosing ClowdStrike as your MS security replacement (which CS seems fine on its own but it's a problematic category of products to start with) to end up in a "no sane IT department should arrive at this decision" point.
By definition, those impacted, didn't see these systems as truly critical.

RE: NoMachine: connect drops regenerates key
@gjacobse Most likely this is an SSH timeout. Might be on the client end. Is the timeout the same regardless of where you connect from? What if you connect via SSH instead of NX?

Castopod Amazon S3 Configuration / Backblaze B2
If you want to use Castopod, you almost certainly want to connect it to an S3 bucket. But the documentation on the site is missing a couple critical elements. The bucket must be specified and the format of the host needs the header. Here is an example configuration from the end of the .env file.
media.fileManager="s3" media.s3.endpoint="https://s3.us-east-001.backblazeb2.com" media.s3.bucket="bucketname" media.s3.key="mykeyID" media.s3.secret="mykeySecret" media.s3.region="us-east-001"
This took some tracking down. The media.s3.bucket is absolutely critical, but does not appear in the documentation. The https:// I'm told is required as it prefixes bad data without it.

I'm been on a media creation splurge this week. So busy, but lots of good stuff happening.
