I'm doing business contingency planning at the moment and with major IT companies having outages (hacks in my opinion) there are a lot of nervous looks

#TheGuardian: "Could the #internet go #offline? Inside the fragile system holding the modern world together"

"If the internet were ever fully shut down, it is unclear if it could be started up again"
But… "in the UK, there is a non-virtual #contingency plan, or at least there was… People who know how it works will meet up in a pub outside London and decide what to do. “I don’t know if this is still the case. [And,] I was never told which #pub it was.”"

A quotation from Horace

I know, you always come out on top, the great exception.
Well, someday your enemies will laugh and laugh. Consider:
life is full of changes, and who can stand them better? A man
who treats his body and proud mind to luxury, addicting them,
or someone used to little, and to thinking of the future,
a man wise in peacetime, preparing then the tools of war?

[Uni nimirum recte tibi semper erunt res,
o magnus posthac inimicis risus. Uterne
ad casus dubios fidet sibi certius? Hic qui
pluribus adsuerit mentem corpusque superbum,
an qui contentus parvo metuensque futuri
in pace, ut sapiens, aptarit idonea bello?]

Horace (65-8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Satires [Saturae, Sermones], Book 2, # 2, “Quae virtus et quanta,” l. 106ff (2.2.106-111) (30 BC) [tr. Fuchs (1977)]

#Crowdstrike continues to.... ermmm.... strike. It will take a while for things to stabilise. People talk about #contingency, but that's not relevant - as it was caused by an agent. The bigger question is why the agent requires #root (i.e., scary level) access to be effective
