Hi All:

Here is a very interesting new "shell" that is positioned to replace SSH on all roaming devices. "Mosh is a replacement for interactive SSH terminals. It's more robust and responsive, especially over Wi-Fi, cellular, and long-distance links." It is perfect for using with your laptops, tablets and cell phones...no more dropped secure sessions:

https://mosh.org/

It does run on all major platforms as well:

https://mosh.org/#getting

The next step is that the product is being used as a core for a app called WireGuard. WireGuard is the heir apparent for OpenVPN. "WireGuard? is an extremely simple yet fast and modern VPN that utilizes state-of-the-art cryptography. It aims to be faster, simpler, leaner, and more useful than IPSec, while avoiding the massive headache. It intends to be considerably more performant than OpenVPN." (For those who have played around with IPSec and tried to secure a stable connection...it is complex to install and there is little in the way of simple documentation, at least for us novices.):

https://www.wireguard.com/

It uses all the standard encryption and salting protocols like: "WireGuard uses state-of-the-art cryptography, like the Noise protocol framework, Curve25519, ChaCha20, Poly1305, BLAKE2, SipHash24, HKDF, and secure trusted constructions.". 
  
It also runs on all platforms but it does not run, yet, on Windows natively, but there are some Containers being built and ready for distribution on Windows.

Even though WireGuard is not absolutely completed (something like Windows products. ;-0)), it is being baked into the new editions of the Linux core:

https://www.wireguard.com/quickstart/

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/08/02/linux_kernel_wireguard/

Of course from all the Linux purists there are serious concerns about Linux becoming bloated but safety and size must be carefully balanced. 

Aside: If you want small, IoT small, try Alpine Linux: https://alpinelinux.org/downloads/ It runs fast on every PC/laptop built in the last 20 years. "A container requires no more than 8 MB and a minimal installation to disk requires around 130 MB of storage.". Working fine in a virtual container on one of my Raspberry PIs.

Hi All:

Things have changed and in the next couple of years all our websites will have to be certified. It is not a choice anymore. That said, it is not difficult or expensive to setup a basic certified site. If we use "Let's Encrypt" register at https://letsencrypt.org/ 

One note, is that port 80 must be used for this certification/registration. If you need to use a different port or have an internal intranet there are only paid options currently available,

Here is one video showing how to starting up by first setting up certification, on your web server, connecting and validating your web site certification and finally, showing how to automate the process of re-certification, which is needed every three months.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jqif0a3dB7c

The example is shown on a Centos Linux distro (It is a copy of the RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) server.) but the process is very easy to manage across all operating system.   

Here is a how to setup the same service on a Cloud or on home server using my favourite Linux distro:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-apache-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-18-04 

...and of course an Azure site:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuMj31MEy5E

I could be wrong but setting up certification on the Azure distro looks like a bear, but still straight forward.

I am sure there is a simple method for accomplishing the same results on Windows desktop/server computers and most web host site will have the registration and certification but it will add extra to you monthly costs.

Aside: I was planning on re-installing "Let's Encrypt" on my main server, this weekend but will have to re-image the box as I have somehow borked the boot partition from a totally unrelated issue done some months ago...ran out of inode space due to drives being too large...35TB total...and not planning ahead....We just need to change the boot partition into a file, instead. One of my Son-in-laws will be coming in this weekend and I will use his expertise. ;-)

 foreign keys
Message-ID: <014001d42bf5$5c290100$147b0300$@gmail.com>

Here's the setup: We're moving Excel data (so no pk/fk values or
relationships) to Access. The db has five tables: one parent, one child, two
lookups, and an associate between the parent and child to support a mtm
relationship. 

This will be a small db that tracks memberships. Memberships is the parent;
members is the child. Each membership can have more than one member and each
member can have more than one membership -- hence the mtm. All values belong
to the individual membership and are stored in that table. The child
(members) table stores only member names the PK, and a FK to the memberships
table.

Appending records into the parent table and generating pks for each record
is no problem. Appending records into the child table and generating pks for
each record is no problem. However, how do I get the PKs from the parent and
child tables into the associate table as FKs? 

It's not so big that we couldn't enter the members manually, but it seems
like we shouldn't have to. 

Any help would be appreciated. I used to know how to do get the FK values
into a child table, but I have forgotten -- I don't work with Access
anymore. I actually wrote about it, but that was ages ago and I can't find
the article. However, I'm sure I never had the experience with a mtm, only
one to many.

Susan,

My suggestion would be to give the parent table a unique ID (PK) - 
preferably an auto-increment.? I am assuming that you are carving sets 
of fields out of "one big record".? Now the "one big record" has a 
unique identifier, you can put that into the child records as you create 
them as a temporary FK.? Make sure that each and every table you create 
has an auto-increment PK in it.? That tells you which "one big record" 
each child record came from.? Now add a FK back in the "one big record" 
for the child table, and using that FK in the child record, place the 
matching PK from the child back into the FK in the parent record.? Do 
that for each child table carved out.

If you are carving out tables (fields in the parent) which themselves 
have "child table" fields (not normalized once carved out), iterate the 
concept.

Membership

Member

Mbr-Mbrshp will contain a record for each member with a given membership 
PK.? Each member record will have the membership from which it came 
since you placed that in there (as a FK) when you created the member table.


That at least gives you a starting point for the process.

I this a one-time conversion of existing membership data?

I usually start by importing the spreadsheet into a table and processing the
rows one-by-one in VBA.

I'd add the Membership record if it was not already there, and save the PK
of the membership record (new or existing).  

Then I'd add the member record if it was not already there, and save the PK
of the member record (new or existing)/

Finally I'd add the two saved PKs to the Associate table.

Of course, we have another money wrench, but I think I've thought my way around it. Originally, memberships could have two adult names and they entered both names in the same field. <gasp> Sorry guys -- I wasn't there and had nothing to do with the original structure. ? 

I think I'll use Excel's Text to Column feature to get all those names in individual columns before importing it into Access to start the conversion. With the pks in that big table -- as John suggests, I think I can separate them using a couple of append queries. 

I think... ? 

Putting the fks back in the big table is a bit of genius. ? I think we can get this done with very little manual cleanup. 

Thanks guys!

Appending records into the parent table and generating pks for each record is no problem. Appending records into the child table and generating pks for each record is no problem. However, how do I get the PKs from the parent and child tables into the associate table as FKs? 

It's not so big that we couldn't enter the members manually, but it seems like we shouldn't have to. 

Any help would be appreciated. I used to know how to do get the FK values into a child table, but I have forgotten -- I don't work with Access anymore. I actually wrote about it, but that was ages ago and I can't find the article. However, I'm sure I never had the experience with a mtm, only one to many.

Rocky, it?s a one-time thing, and there's less than 500 records. Once it's in Access, the others will continue to use the Excel sheet. ? 

Susan H. 


I this a one-time conversion of existing membership data?

I usually start by importing the spreadsheet into a table and processing the rows one-by-one in VBA.

I'd add the Membership record if it was not already there, and save the PK of the membership record (new or existing).  

Then I'd add the member record if it was not already there, and save the PK of the member record (new or existing)/

Finally I'd add the two saved PKs to the Associate table.

Last weekend we were planing on going to the local observatory, Saturday evening, to see how my grandson would enjoy it but the hill was closed for maintenance that weekend. 

On Tuesday we decided to take our telescope up to Christmas hill, a rocky little high point above the city.

That was an adventure; pitch black, small trails up the cliffs, carrying a little boy and 10 Inch home made reflector telescope. It was well worth the hike as after the Moon had set Mars, Saturn and Jupiter were within 15 degrees, looking south. We could see the rings, some moons and the storm on Jupiter. We also checked out many of the constellations and meteorite showers. 

There is now one little boy who will be following his Mom's love of astronomy. (His Mom made the telescope) :-)

If that?s how you do memberships then that's how you should record it.
If you use a primary key that?s an auto number the name field is rather irrelevant.

Of course, we have another money wrench, but I think I've thought my way around it. Originally, memberships could have two adult names and they entered both names in the same field. <gasp> Sorry guys -- I wasn't there and had nothing to do with the original structure. ? 

I think I'll use Excel's Text to Column feature to get all those names in individual columns before importing it into Access to start the conversion. With the pks in that big table -- as John suggests, I think I can separate them using a couple of append queries. 

I think... ? 

Putting the fks back in the big table is a bit of genius. ? I think we can get this done with very little manual cleanup. 

Thanks guys!

How cool!? A 10" reflector is a sizable machine to haul.? And to make it 
herself!? I own a 10" newtonian.? Well actually, my son now owns it.? 
That's a great size.

DNS Fronting has provided protection and security to many internet organizations who post from within restrictive regimes or for any business not wanting to tracked or blocked. Many large companies have these features built into their internet infrastructure.

It is almost like using a subnet address. Countries wishing to block the free flow of information or stop what can be described as piracy find it almost impossible to do so. If an company/country blocks the "subnet" they block the entire domain; for example; they block Google and then all legitimate business grinds to a halt. An unacceptable price to pay in our modern world.

Hi All; again...

Here is an example, below, of a website that uses this technology and supposedly provide free secure access internet (they may suspect the Russian but no one will ever know for sure) but many of these type of sites may be temporarily halted, in the near future, as Google, Amazon and Microsoft start closing these ports. But there are many internet companies that make a good income supporting this technology; CloudFlare (https://www.cloudflare.com/) comes to mind.

Example: http://inkpadnotepad.appspot.com/

Dear Lists:

A friend of mine is working with a company to design a new website for his company. Here's a link showing its development to date. 

http://000m6c1.myregisteredwp.com/

The copy isn't finalized yet.  He's just working on the layout, appearance and navigation.

Any feedback is welcome.

It looks very nice and the site is also fully adaptive to different device real-estate....cell, tablet and PC.

The guy really knows what to do when it comes to site building. Did he use a template (a quick scan of the source suggests that) or did he build most of it himself? The truth is, anyone would be a fool to build a site from the ground unless they just wanted the learning experience and have lot of time on their hands.

It looks like he has the core of everything down pat and now all that is necessary is the personalization and unique graphics.

Aside: As I am on the subject of complaining about Microsoft singing "I did it my way...", within ten lines of code there is a patch added for a MS Edge browser anomaly:

Dweb is decentralized or distributive web services.

Aside: I personally do not care for too much centralization as it has a terrible tendency to lead to monopolization followed by poor service, poor products and no innovation.

Here is a short article on the subject written by a Firefox developer:

Hi All:

I think SMS protocol is over-due for retirement. Mail and in the following case, supposedly safe 2FA (two-factor authentication), SMS protocol was but an open door to Reddit's data files. How embarrassing:

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/08/password-breach-teaches-reddit-that-yes-phone-based-2fa-is-that-bad/
http://bit.ly/2M2TeKC

Of course we have a Google solution:

Not really, it is a very well designed...good to go. Of course it all depends what the site needed for. 

It appears that the business that created the template is a WordPress designer company:

https://semperfiwebdesign.com/

Using the world's most popular content management system does have its perks. Its core is based upon PHP and MySQL and that is just the start...Nodejs and Apache are available as plugins. WordPress is a massive OS product: https://wordpress.org/ I would say the skies the limit. :-)

Hi Rocky

I hate these arranged stock photos: A man, a woman, a white, a coloured, an Asiat, a young, a grown up, pointing fingers and/or happy smiling ...

The second photo is simply bad.
And that man (third photo, second from left) with a "circus beard" is just too much.

I would spend some money on real photos. A professional photographer is worth all the money.

A side note: I would skip "The" in the company name - as they have in the domain name. That would allow for a cleaner logo as well.

What are the differences between the two operating systems?

Even though, on the surface the OSs are similar, their basic concepts are similar and many of the commands are similar; iOS kernel came from ancient code sources (UNIX) while Linux was written from scratch:

Hi All:

Most people have used Dropbox but there is a much better product.

Dropbox gives a user 2GB free and then you have to pay, OTOH, if you use pcloud you get 20GB free to start. It works on all major operating systems, from PC to cellphone. The servers are based in Switzerland where privacy laws are strictly enforced. Check it out:

Googling for "brother printer, scan to file, location" gets an answer.

Hi Arthur,

I looked up similar antennas on Amazon.  This is an ordinary HD TV antenna with a slightly higher than average price for this style of antenna.  The over-the-top ad itself makes it sound like a scam but it's not.

But - I am currently using an FM wire antenna on one of my TV's and the reception is just fine.  I do live about 10 miles from the HDTV broadcast antenna  in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area so my reception should be pretty good anyway.

I searched for an FM wire antenna on Amazon - try this: https://www.amazon.com/Fancasee-Antenna-Connector-Coaxial-Receiver/dp/B07BW3Q794/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1535459216&sr=8-10&keywords=fm+antenna+wire.  

After all, an antenna isn't magic - it's fundamentally just a piece of metal connected to your TV.

Good Luck!
Dan

Some antennas do have signal boosters in them.  In the US the FCC has
a site that tells you what channels and the strength you can get in
your area

https://www.fcc.gov/media/engineering/dtvmaps

Antennas direct also has something like that with a map

https://www.antennasdirect.com/transmitter-locator.html

I found that at my house I was limited in what I could get since my
main TV is located in the basement level of my home.  UHF signals are
mostly line of sight and so higher up is better for an antenna.  I
could put an antenna on the roof though but then I'd be up there
fixing it after storms came through.

Subject: [dba-Tech] WordPress blog question
Message-ID: <CAEPJO1hHtLdWBBG52mFyL0RB91oBYTF=Er-gLapE_ReS83mm9g@mail.gmail.com>

I've created a WP blog and added some posts to it. I cannot figure out how
to place the posts into Categories. I've already created some categories. I
have two questions:

1. I would like to move these posts into the various categories. How can I
do this? I've tried editing Published posts but cannot see there any way to
specify the desired Category.
2. When creating a new post, how can I designate its Category.

Thanks in advance.

On the webpage where you are editing the post, there should be a
collapsible section called "Categories and Tags" or just "Categories and
Tags" it could be on the right ar at the bottom of the page. Just expand
that and select the category you want. You can even add them from that
expanded section.

On the other hand, if you have created Pages instead of Posts, then the
Categories section won't be available to the pages.

in various directories, to the point where I forget what I've saved and
where I've saved them. Is there some magic bat or cmd file I could run to
refresh my failing memory?

I have been using Everytging from voidtools, couldn?nt get through a
day without using it 2-3 times at least.  Strongly recommend it. It will
do what you want and much more. And instant results.

Ok Susan, you have just made me feel like an idiot. I hope you're happy. I
shall just go lick my wounds and grudgingly acknowledge that once again,
you are right and I am stupid.

You're far from stupid. ? You're only fault is one of making the problem harder than it really is. I do it all the time. Yesterday, I kept trying to use Power Pivot to pull a couple of related Excel Table objects together when what I needed was all in one table -- wasted time. ? Because I knew there was a relationship, I was convinced I had to use it. I felt like banging my head on the keyboard.

Ok Susan, you have just made me feel like an idiot. I hope you're happy. I shall just go lick my wounds and grudgingly acknowledge that once again, you are right and I am stupid.

Arthur,
Windows search used to stink, so no one used it. Because of that now few people even try to use search and the few that do probably don't know how to use the basic search filtering, let alone the advanced filtering. So you're not an idiot, just a typical windows user.
