UFOTofuTacoCat posted:A shot in the dark but do any of you have experience with surveillance solutions? I'm tasked with putting together a small video surveillance solution with about 5 cameras that should record to a DVR with maybe a couple days or week retention. Ideally the cameras would send the feed over our wireless network to the DVR so we don't have to run cable for the cameras. There seems to be an overwhelming amount of marginal solutions out there. Thanks! 1. Legality. Make sure that recording is legal where you are. 2. Security. Wireless is jammed faster than a printer. 3. Technology. Decide wheter you want network cameras or classic. The range on wireless is highly dependant on this. Network cameras are easily integrated in existing environments, also PoE. Theres also shittons of software and cheap hardware. DVR Server software can be had for free. Classic cameras on the other hand are somewhat expensive, wireless sometimes not even secured and generally on their way out imo. You have a wide selection of frequency ranges tho. Central dvrs are also the standard.

Right now it seems about every other PC is assigning itself a 169 IP even tho they have static IPs set, and you have to disable and reenable the adapter to fix it. Does anyone know what causes this?

death .cab for qt posted:Sounds like they're failing to use their static IPs and DHCP is handing out 169 addresses somehow because gently caress the police? 9 times out of 10 when I have this problem it's because some chuclefuck set the DNS to google and eventually DHCP just started handing out 169 addresses because it had no idea what was going on. Aren't 169 the MS default crap? We do have DHCP, but none that hands out those IPs or anything.

Alereon posted:It doesn't mean its your fault but you should probably take some time to understand what is happening and why. It seems that your coworkers and management have decided that you are not a team player. That doesn't make it true, but why might they have developed this impression? This didn't come out of nowhere unless you're being willfully ignorant or are on the autism spectrum. It's okay to vent and stuff but hopefully you understand how saying "my coworkers have formed a conspiracy against me!" makes you seem like either crazy or an rear end in a top hat. Its not management, my boss is a senior who took on some administrative work to keep a dedicated manager out of the department. This didnt exactly come out of the blue, the whole department has some hostility going on originating from a few certain people. One of my coworkers who simply doesnt like me has been feeding my boss bullshit for a while, and since my boss avoids contact with pretty much everyone, it seems impossible to change his impression. This coworker is part of his inner circle I guess.

Alereon posted:It seems like they want to fire you now so the worst outcome would be that you have a meeting and determine that they just don't like you and you decide to quit. Really it seems like the helpful key would be to determine what is causing the difference in how they view your performance versus how you view your performance. What is it that you are doing that they interpret as not being a team player, and why, from your perspective, are you doing that? Maybe they feel like you're not doing your fair share because of a disconnect in priorities, or because what you're doing isn't as visible. I am the only one in my group who was hired with a programming background (to also do work of that kind, along the same tasks as theirs) and scripting to make their lives easier is only appreciated for about 5 minutes. Obviously any work done on your workstation isnt work in their minds, Im obviously just goofing around. I have no idea how to change this tho.

swampcow posted:I can't stand it when programmers choose to use XML for config files. I can understand that you don't want to write a custom parser for each program, but there's so many libraries that can parse human-parsable markup, such as yaml and json. There's no excuse these days. I find XML quite human-readable.

swampcow posted:When I'm driving in my car, I prefer my windshield to be clean. I can drive when it's dirty, I just prefer to see nothing except what I need to see. Likewise, I prefer reading pretty much anything but XML because there is less structural cruft to sort through. If I'm writing a script that's parsing data, I could care less what the markup is. The analogy would be more like do you want to have a sticker on your back window while looking out the front, since its just an additional closing tag.

So the mdb file of a 90s software was corrupted after a pc freeze. poo poo happens, w/e, put the file from 2011 in since thats on the pc so they can use the attached device again. I suggested to maybe get the company to look at the file since what was recoverable with ontrack is not functional. Instead, my senior coworker asked me to look at the 2011 file (which our access cant even open anymore) and just fix the recovered one. All my attempts to tell him that I wont reverse engineer this database or software were ignored, just "figure it out". Tried to install office 2k3, no license key around. I feel like I already did too much, if there arent any backups of this, tough luck. Apparently the department lost the printout ( which after being scanned is the legal archive format for this old system, only newer systems are digitally archived.) I cant magically reappear 1/3 of this file.
