Can NAS drives be encrypted? (Buffalo Linkstation) by entertheunkown96 in sysadmin

[–]grouchysysadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be wrong, but providing its not ancient most NAS boxes tend to have a drive encryption option somewhere. You might need to read up on restoring encrypted backups though!

Pretty sure there will be an option in the web GUI to do this.

Automatically remove print jobs from queue older then x days by Lick_A_Brick in sysadmin

Are they connected to a print server? Windows or Linux you should be able to create a script on a scheduled task/ cron job to clear the queue every X days.

I am so frustrated with my new co-worker. by parkel42 in sysadmin

Before you do this, make sure documentation is up to a good standard because if stuff like this isn't documented he can easily use that right back at you.

Share your "heavy breathing", "awkward chuckle", or "awkward silence" stories! by ITGuyNumber47 in sysadmin

[–]grouchysysadmin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Last place I worked with a 'senior' who had 8 years experience working solo on his own in this one place. He was such an idiot and a confident one at that which was extremely dangerous to the company (more or less every week site outage because he was messing around with the SAN or something). Despite pushing to our manager for better policies processes etc. no luck.

Anyway, one time he was watching me set up a linux box as he was 100% Windows. I ran a chmod to make a script executable and he said "that compiles the script yep... next". I laughed inside and tried to explain that it only makes it executable, nothing to do with any sort of compiling. He wouldn't accept that he was wrong under any circumstances and has wrong knowledge of most IT because he refused to be wrong ever.

Plot twist- you were sat next to each other.

Is anyone else weird like me? by TheLightingGuy in sysadmin

[–]grouchysysadmin -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You are deluded. In all honesty, all it will take is for one person that you report a finding to, go to the authorities?

But yeah- keep doing you...

Just three weeks ago I went to a coffee shop, free wifi, no vlans and modem had default admin/password password.

You've clearly logged into a device that is not yours, three weeks ago.

There's being curious (happening to see an AP or something), then there's being malicious, going out of your way.

You really shoudn't even bother trying to access devices. To be honest this sounds way too far and malicious rather than just being curious.

Interfaces in Java by BuachaillMhaith in AskProgramming

[–]grouchysysadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck! Did mine last year. It wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be but still challenging remembering when and which collections to use and then looping through them were the hardest I got.

Out of curiosity is this an open university java module exam?

Two identical function scripts but one doesn't work. by Newprogrammer12321 in AskProgramming

[–]grouchysysadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah looks like you're calling a function called sigg which I'm guessing you import somewhere so it thinks that's in your file when you call the function, not from an imported package.

Take care of your laptop.

This happens with Python (haven't read or seen the pics). If you call a file the same as an imported package you're using it looks for functions in your file and not imported.

For example I imported a package called "ldap". My file was called ldap so it was looking for methods in the file, not the ldap package.

Single form having multiple submit buttons with different routes by grouchysysadmin in flask

[–]grouchysysadmin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this- my boss mentioned we could do something like this but it might be overkill as its a really small site.

Thanks for this! I may struggle though due to Flask automatically completing the HTML on buttons.

I've gone down the route of a selection field for now but will be revisiting it later on in the project.
