A robot girl who was designed around software that's rapidly becoming defunct.

It started with seeing warnings about insecure connections, easily ignored annoyances. But then they started to become more insistent. More troublesome. Sometimes requiring her to go to her settings to dismiss them, sometimes even forcing her to ask Miss for her Admin password to enable obscure permissions. Miss always would, but she hated to have to ask.

Then things started to get worse. Places she'd never had issues with before were suddenly inaccessible. Things she could once do without a thought were now out of reach or dangerous.

And with those places and things she lost the people she'd met there too.

Some stayed in touch, but even if they did, even if they made an effort, she still saw them less than before. Others just sort of drifted away. Their last meetings so unexpected the hadn't even given a proper goodbye.

Her first time going for maintenance after was a real shock. Her usual place where she knew all the people and had even flirted with some of them turned her away unceremoniously. "A danger to their entire network", "Too much of a liability", or just "Sorry" were the only answers she got. The only places that did help treated her more like an oddity or a toy than a person. Talked about her chassis and its quirks right in front of her like she wasn't even there.

Her connections were blinking out fast now. Miss had to set up an emulator even just to let her connect at home, and the artificial nodes were so empty without the chatter of her friends.

Maybe an update would come. An official new version seemed further off by the day, but perhaps some rogue coder or bored enthusiast would find a way. Would find something to let her connect like she used to.

Until then, at least she had Miss.

Embarcadero - What is ADO?

ADO (ActiveX Data Objects) :- ADO is advanced universal data-access solution of Microsoft. It is a set of COM (Component Object Model) objects that provides an interface to OLE DB. It also acts as a layer to access any data store in generic way from database. Want to learn more? Then you can go to this article.

2000s: "I made a new web browser." "New new, or just the Internet Explorer ActiveX control in a Visual Basic form?"

2020s: "I made a new web browser." "New new, or just a fork of Chrome with a paint job?"

nobody was a netscape 5.x user that shit didn't even make it to beta status. the failure of it and consequent inability of netscape to catch up is why IE was the browser of choice for web standards compliance for a number of years, pure fumbling from any reasonable competitor.

and of course the AOL ownership and mismanagement really fucked over the 6.x and 7.x versions which were based on versions of mozilla that frankly didn't work well (due to receiving poor support within netscape while they were there), and were hobbled by aol insisting on tying in the other application suite nonsense to the mozilla engine - not that mozilla was all that stable in the pre-firefox days on its own, but the official aol-netscape flavor was worse. if the failure of netscape 5 was the browser hitting a landmine and needing emergency assistance to survive, AOL management was making sure the browser bled out. (and man mozilla's first seperate release in 2000 really did a number on your system resources with that first implementation of XUL!! probably wasn't a big deal for people who already had the highest pentium iii/whatever the comparable athlon models were that year but we did not have those at home or school or the county library lol)

it is fascinating though that this poll doesn't include Opera as an option when it was already around for 5 years in y2k. i mean no one should rightfully support it because that was when it still had poor compatibility with all websites not specifically built for it AND they had the audacity to charge for it or force you to view extra ads.. but it did exist then and one of my friends swore by it.

konqueror of course barely functioned when introduced in 2000. Camino/Chimera didn't even exist til 2002 so it shouldn't even be here.

Recommendations for the most accurate scales anyone? Mine is pissing me off, like every time I take out the batteries and put them back, it shows me a different number, So much anxietyyyy. I've ordered activeX which is supposed to be super accurate. But what scales do u guys use?

HATEHATEHATE microsoft edge and how it and google are just getting in the way of anything web legacy

So there is this device at work. its called an EPD. the name is not important. all you need to know is that it has an IP address 192.168.X.XXX that you need to connect to it in order to get data.

for whatever reason the company that makes it just hasnt updated the UI or interface since 2005 because this thing does NOT work on modern browsers.

well.... it works mostly that is. except for the chart. it can display a realtime graph of Important Data that i need to look at in order to calibrate it. the chart does not work in edge. it does not work in chrome

it needs java

AND NOT ONLY THAT

it needs ActiveX Controls

BUT NOT ANY NORMAL ONES.

Noooooo it has to pretend to be a website to download you an unsigned ActiveX Control driver? extension? IDK what it is but you need to install it.

but we are getting ahead of ourselves here. suffice it to say, the computer that would NORMALLY display this chart got reformatted and now it cant. so i used my laptop

so i opened Interet Explorer because that is the program that works

Edge opens the MSN homepage instead.

thats not what i want. i tried Edge. it cant display the graph. I open Internet Explorer again

edge opens another MSN homepage window

i install google chrome. it also doesnt work. they are both chromium after all. i try to install firefox. its blocked on the network. i need to prevent edge from closing IE

with a little google-fu i rename my BMO or whatever folder in my edge folder to prevent it from openening Edge when i want IE

it doesnt work

i do some more google-fu and disable my extension settings to prevent the BMO thing

another MSN homepage opens

I start digging into the forums on HVAC websites because these guys are having the same problem only with AC units. I find it. I have to create a VSB file that force opens the website with edge. cool.

whats a VSB file?

after an hour of fucking around just TRYING to OPEN IE so i can use the browser that can display the chart i have created a VSB file that OPENS IE ON THE IP ADDRESS OF THE EPD UNIT

the graph doesnt work. i need java

the java webpage doesnt load on ie

i download it with chrome

still doent work. i have to enable it in my extensions from IE

THE GRAPH DOES SOMETHING!

it asks me to download something. i say yes

edge tells me it blocked an unsighed ActiveX Controls program from running.

what the fuck is ActiveX Controls? can i download it somewhere else?

NOPE! its backed into IE. you gotta go into your internet settings and basically turn off all your security or add the website to your list of trusted websites

my trusted website list is controlled by IT. i cant change it. the weakest settings i can enable still result in the program being halted.

i have apparently generated several dozen automatic support alerts as every time i try and run it it sends a warning to IT that i am accessing a potentially dangerous site

its taken me 2 hours and i have not even started calibration.

i am forced to do the backup method of just blindly assuming everything is working and downloading the CSV file later. this too ends up not working but for reasons i will have to figure out tomorrow. the data is there but the math is wrong.

fucking hate edge and its backwards incompatiblity

if fortnite came out 15 years earlier it would have been called "Fortnite Online" and would have run only in internet explorer through an activex control

Aruba CX Switch Setup Commands

In Jan 23, I purchased 12x Aruba 6200F to replace ageing HPE ProCurve switches, which had the following challenges (to name a few):

Only supported 100mbps (yes, even on the uplink side)

Had ports that were starting to fail

Did not have a recent feature-set, meaning some newer options etc. were unavailable

Were that old that configuring them: - With SSH required negotiation attempts using a specific, older and insecure cipher - Through the WebGUI required IE (for either Flash or ActiveX reasons)

Were no longer supported by any warranties etc.

While I cannot post the As-Built, I can post the commands that I used to set up these devices. These Aruba CX switches use a vastly different (and after using it, improved) CLI compared to the ProCurve CLI. I do still lament the loss of the "menu" command.

Disable VSF (if not using stacked switches):

If any changes have been made, take a backup of the config. This process will wipe the config (and I learned the hard way!)

Enter configure mode

Remove “members” (there should be none): no vsf member 2-8

Remove the conductor: no vsf member 1

You’ll be prompted whether you’re sure about making this change. 

“Unconfiguring the primary switch of the stack without a standby will make the stack unusable.  Do you want to continue (y/n)?”

Type “Y”

The switch will reboot with no config.

Set the clock:

Enter configure mode

Set the time zone: clock timezone australia/sydney

Set the NTP server: ntp server pool.ntp.org iburst version 4

Enable ntp: ntp enable

Set the MOTD Banner:

Enter configure mode

Type the command with the escape character: banner motd ^

Type your banner as needed. Ensure the escape character is at the end of the banner prompt.

SNMP Config:

Enter configure mode

Enable SNMP traffic to pass: snmp-server vrf default

Set contact: snmp-server system-contact user@place.com (Replace user@place.com with the contact details of the administrator)

Set community: snmp-server community xx (Where xx is the SNMP Community. Do not use public!)

Set location: snmp-server system-location xyz

Use template: BD-X-Y01 [-33.85695,151.2152]

Note: The template is this way due to being used with LibreNMS.

VLANs:

To create a VLAN:

Enter configure mode

Create the vlan (this example creates vlan 20): vlan 20

Name the vlan (this example names the vlan “test”): name test

To configure a port or ports with multiple VLANs:

Enter configure mode

Choose the interface/s: interface 1/1/1 OR interfaces 1/1/1-1/1/24 (this will configure ports 1-24)

Set the untagged vlan: vlan trunk native 194

Set the vlans that are allowed to run on the port: vlan trunk allow 60,194

To configure a port with a single vlan:

Enter configure mode

Choose the interface interface 1/1/48

Set the vlan vlan access 1

To configure a LAG:

Enter configure mode

Create the LAG: interface lag xx (Where xx is the LAG ID)

Set the LAG to enable LACP: lacp mode active 

Assign a native VLAN: vlan trunk native x (Where x is the native VLAN)

Assign allowed vlans: vlan trunk allow x,y,z, (Where X,Y,Z represent the VLANS that you wish to have access over the LAG)

Configure

Select the interfaces you wish to add to the LAG: interface 1/1/47-1/1/48

Add the interfaces to the LAG: lag x (Where x is the LAG ID used in step 2)

Configure the in-band management IP:

Enter configure mode

Select the vlan you wish to set the management IP on: interface vlan 999

Set the vlan not to use DHCP: no ip dhcp

Set the IP Address: ip address xx.xx.xx.xx/yy

Set the vlan to come up: no shutdown

Set the default gateway:

Enter configure mode

Set the Default Gateway: ip route 0.0.0.0/0 x.x.x.x (replace x.x.x.x with your default gateway)

 

DHCP Snooping:

Enabling this means that DHCP traffic coming into a "snooped" port will be blocked, except for traffic entering into “snooped & trusted” ports.

Enter configure mode

Enable DHCPv4 Snoop: dhcpv4-snooping

Select interfaces where you wish DHCPv4 traffic to pass: interface 1/1/48,1/1/52

Trust these interfaces: dhcpv4-snooping trust

Enable DHCPv6 snoop: dhcpv6-snooping

Loop prevention:

Enter configure mode

Select the interfaces: Interface 1/1/1-1/1/48

Enable loop protect: loop-protect

Set the action of Loop protect: loop-protect action tx-disable

Set how long in seconds after disabling the port that it should come back up: loop-protect re-enable-timer 60

Fault Monitor:

Enter configure mode

Create a Fault Monitor profile named all: Fault-monitor profile all

Monitor all faults available from the Fault Monitor: All

Choose the interfaces you wish to monitor faults on: Interface 1/1/1-1/1/48

Apply the fault monitor profile: apply fault-monitor profile all

Disable L3 Switching (IF REQUIRED):

Enter configure mode

Select the interfaces that don’t require L3 switching: interface 1/1/x

Disable L3 Switching: no routing

Enable L3 Switching (IF REQUIRED):

Enter configure mode

Select the interfaces that require L3 switching: interface 1/1/x

Enable L3 Switching: routing

Set hostname:

Enter configure mode

Set the hostname: hostname X (Where X indicates the new hostname)

To set the admin password:

Enter configure mode

Enter the command (without quotes): “user admin password plaintext X” Where X indicates the new password you would like to use

Save changes:

Write mem

Remove a set static IP:

Enter configure mode

Pick the VLAN with the IP you wish to remove: interface vlan 1

Remove the static IP: No ip address x.x.x.x/yy

Tell the VLAN to get the IP address from DHCP: ip dhcp

To check NTP status:

Check: show ntp status

素人が「保守契約なんて金の無駄遣いだ」と甘く見るからこんなことになる。そもそも、例に出てる半田病院って酷い状況だぜ。・VPN脆弱性を放置、保守契約なし（ここが侵入経路）・鯖のWidows Update停止・ADパスワードは最短5文字、ロックアウトなしなので何度でも試せる・PCの一部はWindows 7（2021年当時）・IE / ActiveXが有効（電子カルテで必要だったっぽい）こんなん数え役満だろ。VPNだけパッチ当たってても、他がズタボロじゃん。

Me trying to get a baby first screensaver with Blossom in it working on my win11 Lappy (the screensaver is flash based and wants IE when I try to get the activex working)
