You guys should watch Scorpion. There's 3 or 4 seasons on Netflix and it's the ultimate relaxing tech bullshit show. Most episodes are just your average detective show but sometimes they ramp up the action to ridiculous heights. Like in the pilot where they fix a low-flying airplane from a speeding Lambo, or somewhere in season 2 where they fix a NASA rocket literal seconds before it takes off. Good stuff.

Mr. Robot isn't on Netflix.  And yeah the guy Scorpion is based on lied about everything of course, and Paige's role of 'translating for the awkward super geniuses' is dumb - but it seems to be less and less like that in S2. She mostly seems a normal member of the team except that all the others come up with the actual ideas (mostly). I have to admit that her relationship with Walter seems extremely forced.

This would be fine except that there is no way to bulk upload a password list. Time to spend all day changing each one individually. Just expire the lot and force the students change them on the next login.

dogstile posted:Hah, that reminds me of an issue i had recently where I had an "active connection" but the connection was maxing out at 20kbps I remember when I was in university and somehow 'supported' my entire building (~300 students) and had a slow connection in my own room. With all that admin access to the network infrastructure, I escalated it about 4 times to higher and higher IT tech gurus trying to find the source of the problelm, before it occurred to me that it might be my own machine. After I rebooted it everything worked fine.

Good luck with the baby, nerdrock! Sounds like you have a rocky (  ) period ahead. I can only relate a tiny bit since my daughter didn't breathe for 30 minutes after birth, but those 30 minutes were the longest of my entire life.Content: our 1.5 sysadmin (one is basically both dev and sysadmin, the other full-time sysadmin) are massively overwhelmed, do you guys have any tips on tasks I could help them with? I'm a dev but massively interested in infosec, system adminstration sounds very interesting but also very technical in places.

Occasional threats to meet arbitrary "quality standards" or else. Constant worry about being outsourced. Even health concerns were an issue.

TITTIEKISSER69 posted:Same here, though I was impressed that WinME came with System Restore. My own problems with WinME was actually centered around this. For some reason, System Restore was oblivious to the 'how much of the drive can I use to back poo poo up' setting, and kept filling up the drive with 'backups' of 'important' files. By the time I hit 0 bytes free, there were literally hundreds of thousands of files in some trash folder I couldn't delete. I tried deleting it from a DOS prompt (because Explorer choked on so many files) but even after hours of waiting, it wasn't even close to done yet. This was the only time I abandoned a Windows OS by downgrading back to the previous version.

Corsair Pool Boy posted:Software engineers are some of the most computer illiterate people on the planet. I'd always assumed all devs messed around with computers in their free time, but yeah this is probably true. I used to work with some dude who told me that, outside of work, he never used computers for fun. At all. He even preferred to not use them, period.  He also wrote fairly shoddy code in frameworks that everybody hated except him, but that's besides the point.

I'm about 80% 'happy to not work there anymore' since apart from the subject matter and grey legal area we were in, it was a really cool and fun work environment.

You all have that much data? Jeez, I've had 500MB for years until I got fed up just yesterday and phoned my provider. I now have 2GB data, for less money than my old subscription. Also unlimited texting and 120 minutes, even though I literally never text (last time was 2 months ago to my wife, because I ran out of data) and only use 43 minutes total averaged over the past months, according to phone support lady.

My wife complained that her laptop was slow, so I ordered 4GB of RAM and an internal mSATA SSD that was about 16 times larger than the existing (useless) one. It took quite a bit of effort to get the SSD in (had to remove some plastic to make it fit in its tiny space under the battery) but copying the OS data over, changing the primary boot drive etc went perfectly. Laptop boots about 20x faster now and feels 'like new'. Things like this make me feel like IT jesus.
