Microsoft catastrophe

[dr.mt...@gmail.com]

I opened the Daily Rag (Mail) and behold the main headline is

a Microsoft outage and not Kim Kardashian.  It's a change.  I'm

still trying to find out what they did to unleash this cataclysm.

The short version is that a popular vendor (CrowdStrike) had a bug in kernel code that was pushed out as an update to the whole world all at once.

For this group, this prompts me to wonder about the following:

1. a shen port for eBPF (obv. it would have to be restricted in some way), which is more-relevant today as MS is working on a version of eBPF for its own kernel (according to this article I came across today: https://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2024-07-22/no-more-blue-fridays.html) - and makes me wonder about using shen in a non-turing-complete context in general.

2. a shen port for wasm, which is becoming more and more relevant to sandboxed/safe/restricted computing.

That sounds a very useful and interesting project.
