The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)

This was not a Microsoft issue. It was a third party security vendor, CrowdStrike, that pushed out an update at the Enterprise Level that caused the problem.
“CrowdStrike”. Good name. Will they be rebranding, soon?
Ah, finally – the big test.
